Hard Copy — Emma Lee-Potter

Anna Armitage is determined to reach the top as a news photo-journalist. She's got the talent. She's got the drive. All she needs is the luck...

Sam Turner, former Daily-News high-flyer, is on the slide. Too expensive to fire, the new management are hoping late call-outs to cover lousy stories will force him to resign .

So the Bella Fraser fiasco is the last thing either of them needs. The novice and the old hack screw up big time- and the supermodel splash goes to the Chronicle instead. But a great partnership has been born. Together, Anna and Sam just survive megalomaniac proprietors, ruthless news editors, a hawkish peer intent on introducing a privacy law- and Bella Fraser. Oh, and they might topple a Home Secretary or so along the way...
