“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.

"Loved this book, wasn’t sure when I started but it picked up and I couldn’t put it down. It ended just a bit too neatly but left an opening for Yellin to pick the story up in a new book!"

Savage News A Novel Jessica Yellin 9780778308423 Books Reviews
- 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!
- Very well-written insider look at the cutthroat cable news game. Of course, the reader is left wondering how much of the tale is autobiographical...and who the antihero character would be in real life. (Also, James?? Mmmmm.) I'm a big fan of Yellin's online and her intelligence shines through in this witty and well-paced book that hoists the industry right up its own petard.
- Timely, relevant and a great read! Jessica Yellin gives us a window into what it is like for women journalists—and it isn’t pretty or surprising.
- One of the most enjoyable reads in years. There are mystery, romance, wonderful characters, insights into the world of network TV, and more. Imagine being on a float on one of those mysterious rivers in an amusement park, with surprises around each turn, some funny, some shocking, and all creating anticipation for more.
- Loved this book, wasn’t sure when I started but it picked up and I couldn’t put it down. It ended just a bit too neatly but left an opening for Yellin to pick the story up in a new book!
- Wow! What a fun read! If you’ve ever wanted a behind the scenes look into the cut throat world of cable news, Savage News is your book. I was captivated by the end of the first chapter. Jessica Yellin’s cable news background makes this a can-you-guess-who’s-who page turner. This book is so good I’m already itching for a sequel. It’s the Devil Wears Prada for the news business.
- An inside look at what women reporters go through and it probably isn’t fiction! Story is great. It is a cant put it down read. Fun, outrageous, love story with a winner! Our hero is a winner and so are us readers!
- 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.
