Fake News

From a television news veteran with over three decades of experience comes a riveting insider's tale that pulls back the curtain on modern media. Written by someone who lived in the trenches of America's newsrooms, this timely novel exposes the hidden machinations that shape the stories we see - and the ones we don't.

In an era where public trust in media has plummeted to historic lows, "Fake News" offers a fictional yet eerily authentic glimpse into the world of television journalism. Drawing from the author's extensive experience managing newsrooms across the United States, this compelling narrative explores the complex tensions between ratings, truth, and the relentless pressure of the 24-hour news cycle.

This story couldn't have been written twenty-five years ago - not credibly. But in today's landscape of competing narratives and alternative facts, it reads less like fiction and more like a prophecy fulfilled. Through masterful storytelling, the author weaves a tale that will leave readers questioning everything they think they know about how their news is made, packaged, and delivered.

Perfect for fans of newsroom dramas and contemporary fiction alike, this debut novel offers a rare glimpse behind the cameras and into the minds of those who shape our understanding of the world.

About the Author
Troy Wilson (a pen name) brings over thirty years of television news experience to his debut novel. As a veteran newsroom manager at stations across the United States, he has witnessed firsthand the dramatic evolution - and some would say deterioration - of American journalism. Throughout his decorated career, Wilson's true passion wasn't just breaking news, but building the next generation of journalists. He takes pride in having recruited, trained, and mentored hundreds of talented reporters and producers who continue to shape media narratives today.

Wilson's unique perspective comes from decades spent in the control room and newsroom, making the difficult decisions that determine what millions of Americans see on their screens. While his professional accolades are numerous, he considers his greatest achievement to be the successful teams he built and the journalists he mentored who continue to influence the industry.

Though retired from active news management, Wilson remains deeply connected to the world of journalism as a self-described "news junkie." This insider's perspective, combined with the creative freedom of fiction, allows him to tell truths about modern media that might otherwise remain hidden from public view.
