Read all about it

Here's one where I ask you for help:

I'm putting together some National Year of Reading-themed reading lists for the Web Catalogue. The "Read all about it" theme obviously suggests print journalism so that's what I'm going along with. I can find lots of non-fiction but I'm struggling with fiction: I want to include books with journalists as the main protagonists or with a press setting. Aside from "Scoop," which we have in reserve stock, all I could think of were some of the works of Edgar Wallace and E.Phillips Oppenheimer (betraying my vintage) which we don't have at all. (If you have to ask who they are you're too young to know). Oh, and Superman because Clark Kent's a reporter.

Any ideas?
