- In THE LAST CORRESPONDENT, It’s 1943. WWII is raging and the invasion of Normandy is on the horizon. Ella Franks is fired after her editor learns she’s a woman and using a fake man’s name. She refuses to “shut up” and is hired by the AP to do reporting on women’s issues from England. Once across the pond she meets war correspondents and sets her eyes on reporting from war-torn France.
- Feisty American photojournalist Danni Bradford has been covering wars for years with her best friend and partner, Andy. She is always coming up against the brass for being a woman. She is determined to cover the events unfolding in Normandy, and to locate Andy’s sister, Vogue model Chloe, who has made her way to France disguised as a Moulin Rouge dancer. Once in France she follows her lover, Gabriel into the French Resistance.
- Tragedy brings Danni, Ella and Chloe together, and they form a capable and efficient team. Each woman is determined to follow her dreams “no matter what”, and to make her voice heard over the noise of war.
- In France, they face danger at every turn, even from the US soldiers. Danni, Ella and Chloe will have to rely on each other if they want to file their stories and survive. Will the adventure and love they find be worth the journey of their lives?
- I’m always excited about a book that features smart, strong women, especially women fighting the status quo. THE LAST CORRESPONDENT was particularly interesting for me, since I was a journalist. (just in the US) The characters were all fleshed out and compelling. Somehow I felt proud of what they represented, making women equal to men. I read it in one sitting. You may need some tissues close by.

I only watch the local news and hardly the national news. Too much about the pandemic but that’s also on the local news lately too.

Lately, too many journalists provide opinions or slant the news. It is no lo longer a balanced view.

Hello, my name is Sylvia and I am a News Junkie.
That being said, these days I force myself to take “media free” days. With so many news outlets, I am often times overwhelmed with information. The fact that there are tickers running on the bottom of news sites, adding MORE info, just makes it all too much.

These days I do not watch the news. I check out a local website to get the weather and anything else I need. My husband watches and he lets me know if there is something that I really need to know.

I think the media hypes up the news for shock value and ratings. I usually watch only local NJ news that has happier stories and things happening in my county

News has shifted from providing objective reporting to subjective spin, dependent upon the network.
