Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews by Sam McAlister

informative fast-paced

I do love a behind-the-scenes look at interesting jobs and workplaces and this certainly fits the bill, shining a light on the hitherto invisible (to mainstream audiences) work of news producers. Sam has a distinct authorial voice and in addition to the engaging details sprinkled throughout the book, she touches upon themes of journalistic freedom and integrity and the importance of impartiality in news reporting. I’d love to hear more of her views in this regard and hope that opportunity arises in the future. Overall, a highly enjoyable read from one of the sharpest minds I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.
