Despite ABS News producer Bill Ramey’s distaste for seamy news stories, he pursues evidence that links Senator Gerald Smith to the disappearance of a beautiful blond coed. Nothing is as it appears and soon Bill uncovers dark secrets that someone would kill to protect. As the news story unfolds Bill Ramey and Senator Smith are swept into the funnel of a media tornado that neither of them can control. Though Bill tries to hang on to his integrity, he becomes one of the players in a dangerous game of media manipulation.

5,0 su 5 stelle Great read - especially if you are a news junkie!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 aprile 2014

What a great book! It was a little slow in the first half, but then there were several good twists that kept the action going. The story is of heartache, revenge, and trying to do the right thing. The characters are all appropriately flawed and damaged which makes for great drama.

The main character is a complacent news producer. He's been there, done that, just trying to ride out his career or break the next great story. He is analytical, smart, but worn-out. This makes it perfect for him to question everything that comes into the news room, but also possibly overlook the obvious. His character development throughout the book is typical, yet still intriguing - right up to the very last sentence. As with any great story, his character is dismantled and stripped down to the basics. It's at his lowest point that his is able to "news" MacGyver himself out of his jam with his thorough work ethic and keen analytical skills. This creates a dynamic showdown in the last quarter of the book.

I enjoyed reading the back story of each of the characters because their individual histories really displayed how each got to where they are today. The writing creates sympathy for each even if the reader disagrees with their actions. I especially liked the character of Eva as she is a great balance to the main character.

What I appreciated most was the tie-ins to the big name news stories that tv junkies like me know all about due to the 24/7 news coverage. I chuckled many times and rolled my eyes with the main character because I, too, knew what was going on (especially the characters who wanted their time in the spotlight). I found the ABS position of which stories to air or not air rang true to network news. It was sickening to read some of the comments the ABS local affiliate boss made when determining where the producer/reporter should go and focus on. (sickening = realistic, not bad)

I read this book on a trip - 2 very long travel days with 4 flights. I could have put it down, but I didn't want to! And I had the time to read on, so I did. This book would be a good read for those who enjoy John Grisham. While it's not a legal drama and more of a TV news drama, the character development, the plot line, and the twists are comparable to any of Grisham's books.

Brilliant story, brilliant book. Lots of twists. One of the best books I've read. I really couldn't put it down so ended up reading it in a day. I got this book when it was free but would have been happy to pay for it.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 aprile 2012

This book is worth reading for its withering criticism of TV news as it is currently practiced in the United States. Its inside knowledge of the way the networks and the 24-hour cable stations operates (one of the authors spent his life in the business) makes this an enthralling read, despite a plot that is rather unrealistic, characters that never get much beyond cliches and writing that is often pretty pedestrian.

The protagonist is Bill Ramey, a producer for a TV network based in Chicago who is a veteran in the business, having worked on stories like the Ron-Benet Ramsay and Chandra Levy cases as well as more weight international stories. His research assistant, the curvy Marta Gregorian, is investigating a sleazy Senator running for reelection and discovers that he may have had an affair with a beautiful intern who has now disappeared.

There are many twists and turns in the plot. Bill discovers the Senator had a liaison with another intern, this one not quite so attractive, who has also disappeared. Rumors keep bubbling up, sending the news teams on many a wild goose chase. Meanwhile the Senator has some shady links to a Russian businessman who you just know is a mobster. (Russian mobsters seem to have become the villains of choice in American crime fiction lately. Just give a guy a Russian name and accent and you know he's up to no good.)

There seem to be some thinly-veiled pastiches of actual TV personalities in the book. For example, one cable anchor called Heidi Van Kampen I took to be a reference to Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. (Incidentally, she comes across as a real hack). There may be others that readers more versed in this world than I am may recognize.

The book is strongest on the way it describes these networks all copying one another without ever bothering to check facts and the way they all chase sensationalism, catering to the lowest common denominator in the audience. Bill is presented as a lonely voice holding out for journalistic standards and values but he too has wasted much of his career chasing these sensational scandals. He refers to his work on the Laci Peterson story -- I remember the name but not the story.

Some of the twists and turns in the plot I just couldn't buy and the authors show little talent in developing real, living, breathing characters. But the book has something quite important to say and is worth reading for that reason alone.

4,0 su 5 stelle Well worth reading!

I liked the description of this book so downloaded it. I wasn't disappointed by it either.
The reader is given an insight into the cynical world of News Channel reporting in the USA - tho' I'm sure the UK has many similarities if not the number of actual News Channels. It gives the impression that the author is someone who is familiar with the world of television news and the organisations and staff who people them.
The main character in the story, Bill Ramey, is a likeable enough character who fights against some of the more sensational alleged "news" stories, but you sense that he and those like him are more in the minority as the infidelities of politicians are given more air-time than any of their policies.
The story unfolds with many twists and turns and I was so absorbed that I was surprised by many of them. The reader is fed a few red herrings - but you're not sure really if you're just supposed to discount some events or if they will have some importance later.
I found all of the characters credible as they were well-rounded. I thought that Bill got overly sentimental at one point - too much so for a seasoned news-man who'd seen so many tragedies, but that's a minor criticism. I felt that the action dragged slightly about a third of the way through, but both before and after that point my interest was fully engaged.
I'd definitely read more by this writer and hope that Bill Ramey is involved in future stories.

5,0 su 5 stelle AN AUTHENTIC LOOK AT MEDIA AND POLITICAL SLEAZE
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 marzo 2014

“Breaking News” is a captivating book, full of caricature, satire, stereotype, and raucous action. There are twists and turns in the plot that keep the reader guessing. And, best of all, it reveals what we all suspect about the news media; all is not what it appears.

The authors, writer J.D. Rader and news journalist Michael Gudgell have collaborated on a novel that seems to be based on a collection of real life incidents that involves girls, women and the powerful men surrounding them who get caught under the microscope of public interest and frenetic news coverage. Who can forget Jonbenet Ramsey, Chandra Levy, Laci Peterson, or Natalee Holloway? Gudgell was a journalist who covered these stories and much of what he discovered became material for “Breaking News.” The ensuing story is fascinating for its authentic detail and realistic premise.

Veteran television news producer Bill Ramey gets interested in the disappearance of a beautiful young woman and her apparent ties with a sleazy U.S. Senator, Gerald Smith, who has his hometown of Chicago bamboozled with his charisma and who continues to be elected despite controversy in his private life. A young and talented research assistant continues to uncover more information connecting the missing woman to the Senator and, in the process of working with the researcher, Ramey discovers that another young woman turns up missing with the same ties to Smith. The race is on between TV networks, reporters, and media bigwigs to reveal the Senator’s involvement. The manipulations and motives behind the scramble are carefully outlined by the authors, giving readers an authentic inside look at the broken news system from which we all currently suffer.

Things get ugly when a Russian gun dealer and his thugs get involved, spreading beatings, maiming, and murder around in a frantic effort to maintain their influence in high governmental circles. The Senator, caught in the middle, is slowly drawn deeper into his nasty world of criminal behavior. Then Ramsey discovers an ugly truth about some of the allegations against the Senator and his world also collapses into disgrace and disrespect.

This book will engulf the reader in a world of deceit and misdirection on the part of the media and brutality and death from the bad actors in the Senator’s murky world. It is satirical in its bright light focus, humorous in some of its insight, and entertaining in its presentation. I suggest you don’t miss it.
