«¡Noticia bomba!» is the humorous novel by Evelyn Waugh, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Lord Copper, press magnate, mistakes William Boot, author of a nature column, for a correspondent and sends him to cover the civil war in the African republic of Ishmaelia. Waugh uses the error to build a ruthless satire on journalism, special correspondents and misinformation.
It belongs to the «La conjura de la risa» collection from Anagrama, where it is number 3. Translation by Antonio Mauri. The original title is «Scoop».
For readers of British humor and social satire, and for those seeking a critical look at the world of journalism.
