New York Newsrooms

Author Lucas Monroe tells the story of James Santana; a misfit news radio producer in a world where the devious succeed and bring others like them up the chain of prestige.After twenty years of toiling through the rigors of the daily backstabbing and confusion of the radio business, he does what was thought to be impossible: he brought WONS to the top of the news radio ratings heap over longtime rival WIES, who had dominated them for 50 years.He did it despite the constant undercutting and sabotage of his morning writer Lorna Magnus who tried to take full credit for his success by telling the news director Tom O’Malley that it was her ideas and not James who brought this newfound success to their longtime underdog radio station.Things change dramatically when hotshot newbie Joseph Smart joins WONS with his own ambitions that threaten the position of both James and Lorna and the battle for who’s number one in the newsroom takes shape!Author Lucas Monroe tells this roller coaster story from the perspective of several narrators in three different newsrooms with delicious dark humor.
