Don't Stop the Presses: This Story is to Die For

By Mike Stetz

Ben Roberts is about to break the biggest newspaper story of his career--a San Diego councilwoman, who is aiming to eventually become mayor, is being bribed to vote for a $4 billion downtown pro football stadium--when he gets laid off from the San Diego Sun. Now that he's yesterday's news, his breakthrough story will never see the light of day. Unless he commits to his one last desperate option--take over the newsroom, hold the editors hostage, and demand that he publish his story in the Sunday paper on the front page.
Once inside, he's inspired to take his action even further and begins trading editors for other bitter, laid-off reporters who had their stories killed. With this tiny rebellion, he begins dreaming of creating the Sun's greatest edition ever. In this comic farce about the death of newspapers, one reporter dares to make his own headline--and hopefully not his obituary as cops surround the building. All Roberts has to do is somehow get out alive, which won't be easy given who's about to be exposed in his last byline.
