Breaking News: Confessions of a Disruptive News Anchor

They call it "Local News." Eric King calls it what it really is.
In this insider exposé, King rips away the velvet curtain on local television news-revealing a world where many anchors are mere performers, reporters are more focused on "likes," and communities pay the price.

• Raw, Unfiltered Access: Peek behind the scenes as news managers cherry-pick the most sensational, ratings-grabbing fluff-no matter how shallow-and often leave real stories on the chopping block. How inexperienced reporters are thrown into the deep end without a lifeline, scrambling for "must-watch" moments while decision-makers obsess over eyeballs instead of quality. Substance drowns under a tidal wave of manufactured drama-and King has the receipts.

• Blueprint for Change: This isn't just an exposé-it's a call to arms. King lays out six clear, no-BS steps to reclaim integrity, rebuild trust, and restore local news to its rightful role as a public service.

• Your Front-Row Seat: If you care about facts, community, or the fate of our information landscape, this book will ignite your skepticism, spark your outrage, and inspire you to demand better.

Candid, urgent, and impossible to ignore, Breaking News will forever alter how you watch-and how you think about-the "news."
