Join South Australian author Michelle Prak at the official launch of Goodbye Newsroom at Dymocks Adelaide in Rundle Mall - South Australia's largest bookshop.

"When reporter Anna is sacked from the newsroom, she expects sympathy from her sister and housemate, Holly. But she discovers that Holly is jobless too, after resigning from the Fairweather Report, a celebrated women’s website. Now, Holly has grand plans for starting her own online media empire, and she insists that Anna joins her.

Anna’s first task? She’s whisked away to a social media influencer tour of Uruguay. It’s scary stuff for a reporter who barely knows the difference between hashtags and HTML, but at least handsome Donovan is there to help.

Life becomes even trickier when Holly publishes Anna’s romantic adventures on their fledging website. The sisters become an online sensation, but Anna is furious that her private life is being used for clicks. Will the sisters stick together and make a living in this new media world? Or will Anna return to a newsroom again? And who is Holly’s menacing and persistent troll?"

If you love career stories like Devil Wears Prada or The Bold Type, you’ll adore Goodbye Newsroom, a modern ode to self-made young women whose greatest tools are their smartphones.

MC: Journalist Jennie Lenman
