A NEWSROOM RUN BY STUDENTS
Write what must not be forgotten - Isabel Allende
Portland, Oregon. Protests, police brutality, white supremacists - and of course, the pandemic.
The series Newsroom PDX tells the stories of a student-run newsroom faced with covering it all.
Meet Ryan, the player haunted by a woman who left him.
Cage, a videographer who sees himself as a storyteller but others look to as a hero.
And Emily, uncertain about herself, but forced to take charge when the pandemic hits the newsroom.
It's a newsroom full of diverse people who never could color between the lines facing the biggest challenges in a lifetime.
Some sex. Bad language. Lots of politics. This is Portland, after all.
An omnibus of the first four books in this suspense series, Newsroom PD.
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.
"I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me."
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 an 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, Washington, D. C. Then 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.
You can follow her on Twitter @ljbreedlove for her political stuff, or on Facebook ljbreedlove for her writing life. Best place to find her -- besides a local coffee shop -- is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there. Or read her blog, snark included, and check out all her books.
