Natalie Savage grew up hearing these words from her beloved father, who admired Walter Cronkite so much he named the family dog after him. Natalie—who spent her twenties missing out on life’s benchmarks—finally sees her efforts pay off when she’s assigned to cover the White House for her network, ATN. The problem? The position is only temporary, a test to see if she has what it takes. She has always relied on her grit, her principles and her news sense to gain success. But now her competition is a twenty-six-year-old spoiled frat boy who got his big television break by eating raw animal parts on a reality show. Of course, he’s winning. Natalie, along with her scrappy production team, has to navigate ratings wars, workplace sexual harassment and an international political crisis in order to prove herself. But the closer she gets to achieving her dream job, the more she wonders if it is worth all the compromise. Timely, funny and smart, this juicy debut is the perfect tonic for readers contending with today’s politics and the #MeToo movement.

Jessica Yellin Savage News. Yellin’s debut novel, Savage News, takes place in a strangely glossy Washington, DC, similar to the one we saw on “The West Wing.” Like the TV show, the book hints at the problems of today, but without the angry bite of terror that is our current reality. Instead of Martin Sheen, the president in Savage News is a former governor of Colorado, an educated and thoughtful oil tycoon. His wife is a former Miss Venezuela with an engineering degree — a character detail that makes her feel like a cross between Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. Savage News tells the story of Natalie Savage, a young, attractive TV reporter caught between ethics and good ratings when she’s given a chance of a lifetime to work as a temporary White House correspondent. The plot centers around Natalie desperately trying to please her network (whose standards are The Devil Wears Prada outrageous) while tracking down the first lady, who has gone missing.

The former CNN White House correspondent writes about #MeToo and missing first ladies. It’s surprising to hear that reporter Jessica Yellin's first book, Savage News , was a challenge to write when you consider her journalistic background and knack for gripping storytelling. But Yellin tells OprahMag.com: “Writing a novel is really hard. I thought, I know how to do this. I’ll just put vignettes together. It turns out that’s not how you write a novel. It took me forever." A Harvard graduate, the L.A.-born former White House intern rose through the ranks of the newsroom at ABC and MSNBC to eventually become CNN’s White House Chief Correspondent in the aughts. But in 2013, Yellin walked away from the gig to focus on delivering something Americans could all use more of: real, hard-hitting news. After taking a "decompression year" off, the 48-year-old has been working on her novel—and replacing CNN with Instagram. Last July, Yellin began posting neatly designed graphics next to lengthy captions that recap the major news stories—both domestic and international—that she thinks deserve a closer look. She focuses on stripping away the jargon often used on cable news networks (think: “Breaking News!” and “This Just In!”) to instead offer her 132,000 followers the meat at the center of topics such as Brexit, the 2020 election, and President Donald Trump’s proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. It’s her goal, she says, to put what’s happening on Capitol Hill in layman’s terms for folks who find news coverage to be a bit too convoluted, boisterous—or, more specifically, delivered in a sports-like manner for men. So far, her supporters include celebrities like Alex Rodriguez, Jessica Seinfeld, and Amy Schumer, who announced her pregnancy via Yellin’s Instagram as a way of promoting her work. “I had an instinct all along that part of the audience wants news to be told differently, and I couldn’t do it inside," Yellin says, adding that news outlets spend too much time speculating what could happen—instead of reporting what has . "We need to retell news so there’s understanding. Do people become more aware of what’s happening in the world after a report? Do they leave feeling more informed and more confident? There’s a whole menu of ways we can do that.” Which brings us to Savage News . In her fiction debut, Yellin provides a smart, funny, no-holds-barred assessment of the current news cycle— and the executives who spin it. Her novel is told through the lens of protagonist Natalie Savage, a 30-something-year-old reporter recently hired at the news network ATN. Eager to cover the White House, Savage quickly learns just how bureaucratic the news environment can be as she sifts through Washington, D.C.’s complex political wars while fighting sexual harassment and trying to strike a healthy work-life balance. We caught up with Yellin to discuss Savage News and what White House correspondents really do. At its core, Savage News is a coming-of-age story. How does it differ from others? I really wanted to write a book about a woman finding her voice at the workplace, and not through a relationship. I wanted to be raw and realistic about how challenging that can be when you’re trying to succeed but have to do things that don’t match with your internal true north in order to do so. In the book, ATM flies Natalie to Miami to make viewers think she’s live on air from Morocco. This is funny—have you had similar experiences in your work? I just want to be clear that I exaggerated that, and I’ve never been in one state or country pretending to cover a story in another. When you cover the G7 or G20 Summit, for example, you can’t get anywhere near world leaders. But the producers are like, what’s the mood in the room? I wanted to paint a version of that on steroids to show how bizarre this reality can be. Several stories Natalie gets assigned to are so similar to actual news events. Were they written before or after the events occurred in real life? I started writing in 2015, and there are a couple of things that I included in the book that eventually came true. In it, there’s a missing first lady, and then eventually Melania Trump went missing for a month. I won’t give it away, but there’s a storyline about Venezuela, too. I am a political reporter, so I have an intuition for things that could develop. The first draft of the book had some #MeToo in it, and an early editor told me to take that out because it’s not plausible. That was two years before the Weinstein allegations. Then we put it back in. I was like, what do you mean it’s not plausible? It happened. My goal was to demonstrate that sexual harassment isn’t just aggressive. There’s this more subtle, hard-to-nail-down sexual innuendo that women and men often face, and they don’t call out because the expectation is that you should be cool with it. It does creep into your psyche, though, and feels like there’s an undertow that makes it harder to do your job. Natalie is repeatedly told to change her image if she wants to remain on camera. Did you ever encounter that? I was once told that one of my challenges was that I have a "building problem," meaning I don’t look good in front of buildings. When I pressed them on that, I was told in part that I’m too petite and don’t have enough physical stature to look like I have gravitas in front of a building. The irony is that TV is the great equalizer, and nobody can tell how large you are because of the frame. This is in the eye of the executive, so it’s not an actual thing. And then endlessly, my hair. The thing about getting your shot at the White House and then getting a phone call to be ridiculed for your hair is real. The conversations I had to have about my hair were mind-bendingly strange and never ending. What was the feedback like? You’ll see if you pay close attention. There are smart female journalists who start appearing on shows with curly hair, and two years later, by the time they have a full-time contract, it’s straight and highlighted. For me with my hair, it was always that it blows in the wind, and they’d point at someone’s hair that didn’t. I’d gently ask, "How do I avoid getting my hair blown in the wind when I’m on the White House lawn?" I would be then told not to use too much hairspray because they didn’t want me to have helmet hair. This was the ongoing drama. I tried to tease this out in the book because it’s an undertone for Natalie, and also an initiation process. So what’s the day-to-day of a White House correspondent really like? The joy is that you are at the White House, and almost every story you touch comes through it, whether it’s foreign policy, national security, domestic policy, the economy, even arts and culture. It might sound corny, but you have a beat in the press where you’re a representative of the people, asking questions on behalf of the people. No matter how many years you’re there, certain things are still awe-inspiring. Something the public doesn’t understand as much is that it’s not a cutthroat, dog eat dog environment. Yes, everyone is super competitive, but because you’re living this shared experience, there’s a real camaraderie there. It’s also physically uncomfortable. I wrote a scene where Natalie can barely fit her bag on the floor and is crammed near three people with seven TVs blaring—that’s real. The work space is often the size of a shower. You’ve had quite an impressive career. Any advice for professionals interested in moving up the corporate ladder? Speak up for what you want, and do what they ask you to do. I was super clear that I wanted to be White House Correspondent from the minute I entered the business. At every opportunity I had with management I’d say it, and they’d say, "Oh, that’s funny, that’s cute." For years, I covered every tabloid murder and celebrity scandal you could think of. But when there was an opening at the White House and they spontaneously needed someone, I was sent because I was so noisy about it. You have to earn your way to that goal, and you earn your way by performing in the ways you need to perform with consistency and integrity.
