Bianca Parks is the face of the student-run Eyewitness News in Portland, Oregon. She's the person everyone sees on the nightly newscast, the most recognizable face — more than the editor-in-chief, more than anyone. She describes herself as a Blacktina — both a Black woman and a Latina. And she's been the target of hate and abuse online since she first walked up on the anchor set and smiled at the camera.
The online hate has been getting worse. And then? Last night, someone doxed her. They published her personal information online, including her class schedule. Now everyone knows where to find her — not just online, but in the real world.
But if they think she's going to cower in fear? They're wrong. Bianca Parks is coming for them. And the EWN staff will back her play no matter where it takes them.
Book 9 in the Newsroom PDX political thrillers pulled from today's headlines.
Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. What do you expect when it's Portland?
Um höfundinn
L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for any oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead — a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Washington, D. C. — places that have become the sites for her books. She got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.
She is an over-educated, bleeding-heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency. Some of her thrillers have werewolves in them — that doesn’t faze her either.
You can follow her on Facebook at ljbreedlove. Best place to find her — besides a local coffee shop — is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there!
