The Scoop: A bold and biting satirical workplace drama from a fresh new voice, coming 2026
Autor Erin Van Der Meeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2026
No story sells faster than a celebrity's downfall. . .
Washed-up journalist Frankie Miller is desperate. Since losing her dream job at a glossy magazine, she's been drowning in rejection letters and overdue bills while eating cereal for dinner.
So, when she's offered a role at The Scoop, a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor David Brown, she can't afford to say no - even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, it's just a temporary means to an end. Nothing more.
But the deeper Frankie dives into the cutthroat world of clickbait, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes. And when she breaks a story that humiliates a beloved pop star, the fallout is more explosive than she ever imagined - for both of them.
In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go - and how much is she willing to lose - to win at this ruthless game?
Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop pulls back the curtain on tabloid culture and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle, perfect for fans of Yellowface, The List and Succession.

Recenzii
A timely, commanding, blistering debut, this one's sure to leave a lasting mark.
A darkly funny satirical peek into the world of late-night tabloid journalism and the chaos of our times. With explorations on grief, ambition, and privilege in the media industry, it quickly becomes tough to look away from.
I gorged on The Scoop. Erin Van Der Meer has crafted a devastating satire that reads the media for filth. Smart, savage, and tinged with grief, The Scoop is required reading for anyone who has compromised themselves today for a better tomorrow.
This dark and propulsive tale sucked me in, left me feeling guilty about every time I've clicked on a story about a flailing actor and spat me out gasping. This is the book that everyone is going to be talking about in 2026.
An urgent, searing satire of the media. Through exceptional storytelling, it explores the cost of ambition, murky moral boundaries, and poses the question: in our perpetual pursuit of information, are we really any better than the news outlets whose articles we consume by the dozen? I loved it!
Snappy, fun, and set in the always-fascinating world of New York media. Loved it!
Whiplash meets tabloid journalism in this electric debut. The Scoop's provocative, propulsive story and relentless protagonist kept me hooked and made me reflect on my own role in a culture of navel-gazing and the attention economy.
Calls out the modern tabloid newsroom for the dark funhouse mirror it is - where outrage is currency, empathy is a liability, and even the most earnest idealists must learn to weaponize gossip and the private lives of others. Following one journalist's plunge from glossy-magazine dreams to clickbait drudgery, Erin Van Der Meer captures with biting humor, sharp insight, and impeccable pacing the contradictions of a dying industry clinging to whatever attention it can still scrounge.
A thrilling page-turner about how far one ambitious journalist will go to land the story that could change her fortunes. It's also a scathing satire of the media outlets that run on celebrity gossip-and our own bottomless appetite for stories of the worst moments in celebrities' lives. I absolutely devoured it.
