"Kerry Packer, having come into his own after the success of Cleo, is made an offer he can't refuse - to sell his Nine Network to Alan Bond for a billion dollars. Kerry sets about spending Bond's money and turns his attention back to magazines, buying Woman's Day from Warwick Fairfax and appointing fiery redhead Nene King as editor. Ruled by ambition and personal revenge, Nene wages war on Dulcie Boling's New Idea - where she'd worked for eight years and in doing so forges a new world of magazine culture."--Container. |
