Synopsis
Suffering from budget cuts, layoffs and a growing suspicion that his search for the truth has become obsolete, veteran war correspondent Mark Scribner is about to throw in the towel on journalism when he discovers that his hard-earned knowledge can save his career and make him wealthy and famous. All he has to do is pivot to social media and - with a few cynical twists - abandon everything he cares about most. A paean to when fact-based journalism mattered, THE STRINGER, set at an important turning point a few years ago, is a globe-trotting action-packed timely statement about how a society without a vibrant independent culture of reporting can degenerate into chaos and a warning of the dangers of sophisticated new technologies that enable the manufacture and modification of 'truths' with no basis in fact.

About the Author
Editorial cartoonist, essayist and graphic novelist Ted Rall grew up near Dayton, Ohio. He graduated with honors from Columbia University. He has since become a widely-syndicated cartoonist, columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Pulitzer Prize finalist, twice the winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, and the author of 20 books, including the first instant graphic novel To Afghanistan & Back, and Silk Road to Ruin. He has done a number of successful comics biographies, including of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Born in Leon, Spain, 1967, Pablo Callejo can't remember when he started to draw or when he first felt the need to tell stories through pictures, but he took his time, since he didn't try to get published until he was 32. After years of living in Madrid, and then in the countryside near his birthplace, he now lives with his wife in Luxembourg working as a graphic artist.
