Zootopia Newspaper Novels & Stories

“Well, you and Zain better start getting serious about training.” Wren laughed and reached out for his hand right as his phone dinged with more emails. Jackson sighed and pulled his hand away. He scanned the email with a sense of disbelief. “Oh.” “What is it?” Kia leaned forward so Jackson tilted the phone towards her. “Oh!” Jackson glanced over at Wren. “It’s a reporter from the local news. They’ve heard about what we’ve been doing to help wolves get back on their feet and they want me to come on for a short interview.”

Joseph Parker” Joseph had just written the first news about the case he was investigating. He adds a photo of Christopher and Saphira kissing and another that he took of Saphira when she left the cafeteria from Sophia's workplace. He also includes the woman's birth certificate and a photo of Sebastian Green, which one of the relatives had sold to him for some money. He uploads everything as an attachment in an email to the newspaper's director titled " It's going to be the biggest scoop of the year.”

I was used to this life, but that wasn’t the case for Hazel, and the things they were saying about her were simply unacceptable. ‘You don’t care about her.’ A small voice in my head said. I shook my head to get rid of the thought. Of course I didn’t care, I was only worried about our family image, not because of Hazel. I quickly dialled a number and placed the phone against my ear. “Any feedback from The Seattle Scroll?” I asked my assistant on the other end of the phone. The Seattle Scroll was the biggest newspaper in all of Seattle, and they were the ones who had first carried the story apparently.

"Come on. I’m starving. Let’s get some pancakes." I followed her into the diner. The bell above the door jingled. The smell of grease and burnt coffee hit me like a blessing. We sat in a booth. The red vinyl was cracked. "So," Elodie said, opening her menu. "What’s the first story you’re going to edit tonight?" I looked at the newspaper on the table. The headline caught my eye. LOCAL MAN CLAIMS DOGS ARE TALKING TO HIM. I smiled. I picked up a pen from the table.

Of course, Quentin Zimmer had intentionally spread the news. He wanted to make a huge statement. “Big news!” “Very big news!” “There’s going to be a drastic change in Michigan!” Countless news media departments were working overtime. Although it was already late at night, and many news reporters and media tycoons had already gone home or met up with friends for leisure activities, they frantically went back to work overtime as soon as they received the news. *** Beep, beep, beep—

I could certainly afford to be more lax in my diet now that my body had so much action. Speaking of them taking action though, I also found out from Susana that since her parents had been at the football game and witnessed our insane kiss, the Howler had been ready to run a front page story about us mating in the Sunday morning edition. But, since at that point the twins didn’t know how the night would play out they begged for more time. The Howlers weren’t at all happy about losing that headline but we convinced them to let the school paper have it. Not just anybody would have been able to pull that off. *I’m so excited!! We’re finally moving,* Fanny said, jumping around.

I demand. Mom thought I hadn’t noticed the way she had reacted to a story on the news yesterday morning. The way her face had paled, and she had nearly spilled the milk as she poured it into a bowl for CeCe’s cereal. The reporter was talking about a rise in animal attacks around town lately, presumed to be coyotes, carrying off people’s dogs, and a hiker was killed on a trail in the canyon. Mom had been more on edge since she watched the news that morning.

Would an old man dare bring a young girlfriend to a place like this? [Anyway, I’m not here to see him. I’m here for Tim Zoo.] At that moment, Tim walked into the reception hall, wind brushing his face. Sunglasses on, coat flowing, the smile at the corner of his mouth effortlessly lethal. After checking that her makeup was flawless, the female reporter put away her mirror and lipstick and jogged after Tim. “Mr. Zoo, Mr. Zoo, I’m a reporter from a finance magazine. My name is—” “What your name is doesn’t matter.”

The city woke up hungry. Hungry for scandal. Hungry for headlines. Hungry for a fall. By 7 a.m., every major news outlet was running the same story in different words: Arthur Voss in custody. Federal investigation intensifies. Historic land acquisition scandal resurfaces. Tiana watched it unfold on the television without really seeing it. Her mind was still on the papers spread across the dining table. Her father’s handwriting. The red ink. The initials. Proof that Arthur Voss had seen their suffering in black and white…

"The underground bank was never the hold that Jake had over him. This was." Zoey didn't understand. "What?" It was too late. Grace shook her head. "Has GEM Magazine published any articles about this?" "We will. This is too big, and I won't be able to suppress it on my own," Zoey said, looking troubled. "I'm glad to see that you're alright. As for Xander, my reporters captured a photo, but it hasn't been released yet." Grace understood. "What photo?" Zoey printed it out and handed it to her.
