Description

Jordan Walsh dreams of being a journalist like her parents and her brother. But it's 1955, and the men who dominate the newsroom of the Chicago Tribune have no interest in making room for a female cub reporter. Of course, that all changes the moment she gets her hands on some confidential information from Mayor Daley's office. Now everyone is hanging on Jordan's every word. But even if she succeeds in landing on the front page, there's no guarantee she'll remain above the fold.
