“Jessica Yellin is the clear honest voice of our generation.”-Amy Schumer



Be noisy. Natalie Savage grew up hearing these words from her beloved father, who admired Walter Cronkite so much he named the family dog after him. Natalie—who spent her twenties missing out on life’s benchmarks—finally sees her efforts pay off when she’s assigned to cover the White House for her network, ATN. The problem? The position is only temporary, a test to see if she has what it takes. She has always relied on her grit, her principles and her news sense to gain success. But now her competition is a twenty-six-year-old spoiled frat boy who got his big television break by eating raw animal parts on a reality show.

Of course, he’s winning.

Natalie, along with her scrappy production team, has to navigate ratings wars, workplace sexual harassment and an international political crisis in order to prove herself. But the closer she gets to achieving her dream job, the more she wonders if it is worth all the compromise.

Timely, funny and smart, this juicy debut is the perfect tonic for readers contending with today’s politics and the #MeToo movement. Natalie Savage will be sure to join the ranks of our favorite fictional heroines as she figures out that having it all doesn’t mean giving up everything she stands for.

Review

"Jessica Yellin is the clear honest voice of our generation."-Amy Schumer

"A tale of an ambitious but principled on-air journalist navigating the ego-infested waters of cable news and the White House."--Washington Post

"A roman a clef that sinks its fangs into the biz...the fun is trying to discern truth from fiction, who's who."-Vanity Fair

"Given her experience, she clearly knows where many bodies are buried."--Page Six

"Savage News is an incisive, hilarious, all-too-real look at a media culture that deserves skewering from someone who knows it best." -- Jon Favreau, Founder and Co-Host Pod Save America

"If The Devil Wears Prada and Broadcast News had a love child, it would be this hilarious satire of the Washington circus. ... funny, smart, and nails our current moment."--Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global

"A shrewdly written and entertaining novel...A clever debut for fans of insider-y books like The Wears Prada." --Booklist

"Fans of comic heroines like Stephanie Plum will find plenty to like in this sharp and funny satire."--Publishers Weekly

"Reveals a comic side to the news business while also delivering a sober message about the discrimination that women face."-Wall Street Journal

"Captures the political and media moment in which we're living....weaves the absurdity, the gravity and the enormity of the moment together in a highly entertaining narrative. Most impressive - Yellin nails all of the little details in a way that puts you deep inside the most insidery practices and traditions of Washington today. A true must read."
--Nicolle Wallace, Host MSNBC's Deadline: White House

Fun read
Thoroughly enjoyed Savage News. I liked the feel of behind the scenes in news TV where selling the story is more important than content of the story. I liked the portrayal of internal conflicts within Natalie Savage. We all have that thought bubble above our heads with unspoken words.Character was nicely set up for more adventures in news !Great read.

    I’ve been following Jessica Yellin on Instagram for months now and am completely enamored with her honest, straight-forward, easily understandable news stories and posts. She’s just amazing. I value all of the free content she’s given me during this time, so of course I had to support her when her book came out.

    I haven’t read fun fiction in a long time. I’m usually reading self-help or parenting books so “Savage News” was a breath of fresh air. It is fun, timely, relevant, and a pretty quick read. You can really picture everything in the book happening today. Throughout the book I kept thinking it would make a great movie!

    Natalie Savage is a great character I want to see again and again (and James, Matt, and Dasha)! Jessica, please turn this into a series!!

    And YOU buy this book!! It’s perfect for the beach or pool this summer, or anytime really.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good story, but . . . .
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020
    Ms. Yellin spins a good yarn, good enough that I would probably read a second novel by her. My disappointment was that this wasn't quite ready for prime time -- that is, perhaps eight times I found typos (such as a instead of at) or faulty attribution punctuation, things one almost never finds elsewhere in a professionally published work.

    Literature about relationships is plenty, but about jobs, careers, which too often become our primary relationship especially in early and mid adulthood, are few and far between. Savage News is a rarity, equal part pathos, equal parts comedy and satire, equal parts earnestness at its most charming. What do real journalists do? Seek truth and tell truth to power. Natalie Savage's journey into the looking-glass of today's sound and fury--aka a job in television--will educate, illuminate, break your heart and galvanize you. Wildly entertaining, too, and there's even a love interest so endearing and sexy you'll be looking for him in all the best familiar places long after you finish the book. I'm blown away by the talents of Jessica Yellin. The book is also great on audio, read by the author. And follow her news coverage on Instagram @jessicayellin And no, the author and I are not related. I'm just a huge and grateful fan.

    I love following Jessica Yellin online and appreciate how she breaks down what is happening in the world to make it easy to understand and factual (#newsnotnoise). That said, I was super excited to read her first novel and this book was such a great read! Once you pick it up, you will not be able to put it down! Set in the cutthroat world of cable news, Natalie Savage is a character you can really relate to as she is smart, ambitious, witty and you are rooting for her to become her cable network's next White House correspondent. The book is smart witty and it brings the perfect amount of levity to the current political climate. I found myself cheering her on and smiling at every turn. You will love it!

    Absolutely loved it! It's well-written, the plot moves fast, and the story is hilarious though very relatable to our time. I've found myself saying "OMG" so many times as I was reading the first half of the book. Let's just say many anecdotes mentioned happened to me or friends. If you're a woman and have worked in finance, consulting, tech, or of course the media, this will probably ring even more true to you! But a fun read for everyone too.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Extremely unlikeable protagonist
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I love Jessica Yellin - get a lot of news from her and have heard her interviewed a few times, so I was really looking forward to reading this book. I will say that in its favor it is an easy read beach book for summer relaxation. But it is hard to relax when the protagonist is so unlikeable that you are frustrated every minute of reading the novel. Of course we don't expect (or want) perfect protagonists but the main character in this book takes so long to learn from the hundreds of mistakes that the author outlines for the reader every line of the entire story that it is distracting and annoying. I hope Jessica Yellin continues to provide balanced political news but in the future I will stick to her non-fiction content only.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un libro sensacional que merece la pena
    Reviewed in Spain on January 16, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Hace más o menos medio año que compré este libro para practicar un poco mi inglés, que lo tengo bastante oxidado y me he llevado un muy buena sorpresa con este libro, ya que me ha parecido súper interesante.

    Lo cierto es que no sabía muy bien que tipo de libro me encontraría, pero ha sido una historia fascinante desde principio a fin. Además, me ha parecido muy intrigante el sector de las noticias y es de los pocos libros que he leído en mi vida en que, a parte de la historia, hay mucha profundidad en el tema laboral, lo cual, sinceramente, es de rabiosa actualidad tal como está el empleo.

    Yo compré el libro de tapa dura y es de una calidad increíble, tanto las tapas, impresión y papel. Además, tiene un muy bonito y moderno diseño que, pese a no ser de importancia, a mi me gusta tener un libro con una carátula cautivadora durante la semana que lo estoy leyendo.

    Quizás, lo que me ha gustado más de esta novela ha sido la enorme profundad de los personajes principales, sobre todo, el de la protagonista. Te pasas casi todo el libro mandándole fuerzas y deseando que esta vez sí sea la vencida.

    En cuanto a la lectura, se trata de un libro en inglés. Desconozco si se ha traducido al castellano, pero a mi me interesaba en idioma extranjero para la práctica del idioma, ya que poco a poco, por mucho nivel que se tenga, va menguando. Yo tengo más o menos un B2 y lo he podido leer sin problemas.

    Teniendo todo esto en cuenta, la relación calidad-precio de este libro de Jessica Yellin, bajo mi punto de vista, tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio.

    Resumiendo... Una novela muy bien llevada en todos los sentido que me ha parecido excelente. Sin duda, una magnífica lectura que recomendaré a mis amigos y conocidos.
