Publisher's summary

Recounts the story of America’s last great newspaper war between the New York Daily News and the New York Post, as both papers’ long rivalry turned existential amid the rise of digital news.

How the sausage is made

Jaccarino's account of his days as a runner and frontline foot soldier in New York's tabloid wars is riveting. Yes, it shows the worst side of journalism. But original reporting requires all kinds of sourcing and this book details the grittiest version.

Great audiobook, perfect narrator, hilarious!

puts you in the driver seat of a tabloid reporter in the mid 2000's. i am 3/4ths done with the book, and i have never laughed this much in a book. its about a witty ny daily news reporter who is always trying to outsmart the ny post counterpart - lots of funny antics, tricks up each others sleeves and sweet-talking celebrities and subjects. the OJ simpson story is a memorable one. you really get to appreciate the wits of the author as well as laughing out loud, when he falters. hilarious book. the narrator with the NY accent is just icing on the cake... if you are interested in journalism, or simply want a funny non-fiction read, i highly recommend it!
