The Great Shift- Breaking News was written by me in late 2004. I won't rehash why it was never published till now. Steve Zink was a big help to me, and University of Iowa Professor Tung Yin was also of assistance.

I've always been interested in how the news business works. What my dream job would have been is to be a golf reporter. It will never happen. The Great, while not my favorite story universe, provided the best setting for a TG fiction story involving the News Business. Breaking News, being set at an Iowa news station.

Funny but I've only been in Iowa twice in my life. Once in 1967 and once in 1987. Now its 2007. See a trend? LOL probably not, but internet research does wonders.

The story isn't entirely about the News, but another angle on The Great Shift that has not be touched in depth. Hope you enjoy.
