CNN co-anchor and author Alisyn Camerota will introduce her “wickedly funny and insightful” debut novel, Amanda Wakes Up Tuesday, Aug. 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the Adrian Lamb Room of the New Canaan Library.
The world of reporting, the changing landscape of cable news, new jobs and young romance all have a voice in Amanda Wakes Up, Camerota’s humorous but thoughtful first novel.
When Amanda Gallo, fresh from local TV, lands a coveted morning anchor slot on a major news station she’s sure she has finally made it. But a six-figure salary and plenty of prime air time is not the answer to all. Camerota wrote Amanda Wakes Up as an outlet to process issues in her own life, such as the role of the media, what being an objective reporter means, what “truth” is, and the daily struggles of journalists to get it right in a ratings-driven climate.
Alisyn Camerota is a television journalist and the co-anchor of CNN’s New Day. She has co-anchored CNN Tonight. Prior to CNN, Camerota served in many roles during a 16-year career at the Fox New Channel. On April 23, 2017, Camerota alleged that she was sexually harassed and bullied by former CEO Roger Ailes, as widely reported.
