Publisher's summary

Fake News, A Novel is a work of fiction. It speaks, however, to a new reality which surveys say has led to a historically high distrust in our news media. This audiobook could not have been credibly written 25 years ago. Even as a work of fiction, it is very relevant today.

Troy Wilson is the pen name for a former journalist who spent more than 30 years working in television news. He achieved many professional accomplishments over that time employed mostly as a manager of television newsrooms across the United States. He would tell you however, that his greatest accomplishment was the recruiting, training, and mentoring of hundreds of talented journalists. His achievements in television news have not come from what he did himself, but through the efforts of the teams he helped build and mentor. Troy has retired from the news business, but remains a "news junkie" of sorts today.
