Interesting insider account of tabloid reporting,

This review is from: Poison Pen: The True Confessions of Two Tabloid Reporters (Hardcover)
A husband-and-wife team (since divorced) of tabloid reporters recount their adventures. Breaking into a hospital for the first photos of Madonna's new baby, interviewing Dana Plato after her arrest, participating in a Gulf War-sized tabloid operation to infiltrate Liz Taylor's wedding. Names are named, and their book is lively and entertaining. Yet one senses the authors are being disingenuous, putting the best spin on their own motives and behavior, while hypocritically distancing themselves from past employers and coworkers. Another case of former tabloid writers biting the hand that fed them. Released in 1996.

Terrific, Entertaining, Interesting Tabloid Book,

This review is from: Poison Pen: The True Confessions of Two Tabloid Reporters (Hardcover)
Recommend this book for all tabloid fans, do not let its age discourage you. Extremely well written by a formerly married couple who wrote for competing tabloids. Far superior to "Secrets of a Tabloid Reporter" (which was written more recently yet depends on most stories from the 1970s). This is a much "meatier", thorough, and interesting book. |
