Novels about journalists or newspaper offices, please.

Scoop, obviously.
My Turn to Make the Tea.
The Truth.
One by Michael Frayn that I’ve forgotten.

Any others?

The Frayn one is Towards the End of the Morning.

Not a novel but All the President's Men

Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers

Wax, Ethel Lina White

1979 by Val McDermid.
What A Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe is partly about a newspaper columnist.

Tokyo Vice (non fiction about an American crime reporter in Japan).

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, one main character is a journalist.

The David Peace books that start with 1974

Robertson Davies, the Salterton Trilogy (especially the first).

I remember he has also written a shorter piece, either an essay or a column, that skewers the comparison of writing for a local or regional paper (Canada) with a well-regarded paper that doesn't have to be as careful with, for example, obituaries (and homilies) completely devoid of information, living week-in-week-out with all the characters in those columns...it's very good.

Also, Judy Blume, 'In The Unlikely Event'. A fascinating book but one I didn't see coming and that has been a rather horrible fearmongering roller coaster. The blurb does not warn you about its real content. Resemblance to the 'young person' Judy Blume, and yet...not.

Robertson Davies, the Salterton Trilogy (especially the first).

The second - A Leaven Of Malice.

A more recent one: The Beast by Alexander Starritt - a satire very obviously and accurately based on the Daily Mail (according to the ex-Mail journo who recommended it to me).

The Marmalade Files and The Mandarin Code by Chris Uhlmann and Steve Lewis. Australian political journalism.

The books were later made into a series called The Secret City which is, I think, on Netflix.
