'Scoop' by Evelyn Waugh

[Tomasso]

William Boot, a young man who lives in genteel poverty far from the iniquities of London, writes a nature column for a national newspaper. He is dragooned into becoming a foreign correspondent when the editors of the aptly named Daily Beast mistake him for a novelist who shares his surname. He is sent to the fictional African state of Ishmaelia where a civil war threatens to break out.

Scoop was also adapted into a tv movie in 1987. Another good adaptation of an Evelyn Waugh novel is "Bright Young Things" it was based on his novel Vile Bodies.
