Breaking News: Confessions of a Disruptive News Anchor

By Eric King

Breaking News: Confessions of a Disruptive News Anchor

They call it "Local News." Eric King calls it what it really is: a ratings-obsessed spectacle that's turned honest journalism into a circus. In this insider expos , King rips away the velvet curtain on local television news-revealing a world where anchors are mere performers, reporters compete for "likes," and communities pay the price.

Raw, Unfiltered Access: Peek behind the scenes as news managers cherry-pick the most sensational, ratings-grabbing fluff-no matter how shallow-and shove real stories off the lineup. How inexperienced reporters are thrown into the deep end without a lifeline, scrambling for "must-watch" moments while decision-makers obsess over eyeballs instead of accuracy. Substance drowns under a tidal wave of manufactured drama-and King has the receipts.

Hard-Hitting Revelations: There's a method to the madness: why your local station buries critical community stories in favor of outrage-fueling soundbites, how executives weaponize fear to chase eyeballs, and the price your town pays for every manipulated metric.

Blueprint for Change: This isn't just an expos -it's a call to arms. King lays out six clear, no-BS steps to reclaim integrity, rebuild trust, and restore local news to its rightful role as a public service.

Your Front-Row Seat: If you care about facts, community, or the fate of our information landscape, this book will ignite your skepticism, spark your outrage, and inspire you to demand better.

Candid, urgent, and impossible to ignore, Breaking News will forever alter how you watch-and how you think about-the "news."
