«Scoop» is Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Press magnate Lord Copper believes he has found the ideal reporter and sends him to cover a war in the African republic of Ishmaelia, but the chosen one is actually a novice correspondent. Waugh turns the mistake into a corrosive satire on journalism, its haste and its sensationalism.
The novel was originally published in 1938; this Penguin Classics edition dates from 2003.
For readers of British satire and novels about the world of journalism.
Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh was an English writer of novels, biographies, and travel books; he was also a prolific journalist and book reviewer.
