Who better to lay bare the cutthroat worlds of mainstream journalism, politics and high finance than an obsessive news junkie whose compulsions lead him from drugs and crime to become an award-winning investigative reporter.
Author Jason Leopold broke key stories about Enron Corporation's infamous phony trading floor and the California energy crisis for the Dow Jones Newswires. While exposing corporate crooks and double-dealing politicians, Leopold hides secrets of his own felonious past, fearful that he would be discovered.
News Junkie introduces us to an array of real-life characters, from love-starved politicos to weepy editors to steroid-pumped mobsters who threaten the author into selling drugs and stolen goods. News Junkie shows how a man once fueled by self-destructive impulses transforms his life, regenerated by love, sobriety and a new, harmonious career with the independent media.
