Stuck in the Box: A Life in Local TV News is the fictional
memoir of Jackie McGee, a young woman who believes she’s
destined to become a local TV news star. Told in retrospect,
Jackie takes the reader on the bumpy ride from her beginnings
as a small town TV reporter to her final revelations about big
time local TV news. Fast-paced, insightful, poignant, and often
hilarious, Donna McNeely’s Stuck in the Box captures the
insanity, the characters, and the superficiality that permeate
every local TV news station in America. This heroine tells the
truth about local TV news, in a way that only a true insider can.
