"There’s nothing to it, really,” said Bob modestly. “It’s just a matter of checking the facts and the spelling, crossing out the first sentence and removing any attempts at jokes.”
- Towards the End of the Morning, Michael Frayn
The Inky Path
Journalists appear in fiction in many guises and play many roles. Sometimes they provide central characters, often they intrude on the action, their attentions as unwelcome as they often are in real life. Scoop! gathers together these appearances under a variety of themes, some amusing, some trivial, some giving an insight into how the Press works and how it is seen to impact on our society. If you have favourite representations of journalists in European fiction or insights into ways they are portrayed, please email Scoop!
