A Story Well Told
About this ebook
The student-run Eyewitness News in downtown Portland has a lot of balls in the air: a series on homelessness, a new look at why downtown is so empty, an investigation into the man who tried to kill some of the staff, and a whole host of other stories. Plenty to keep them all busy, the news editor thought. And now what? A war in Ukraine? How was she supposed to cover that?
Still reeling from the recent events, the staff gears up to try to do the story justice. But J.J. Jones wants to do more than provide a Portland angle — more than give context from the scholars who study the region, or the students who have lived there. He wants to go see for himself. Just like previous generations of war correspondents. And he thinks he's found a way....
This is the 18th book in Newsroom PDX — book 3 of year 3. Join the staff as they struggle to provide the news people need in downtown Portland while dealing with the issues of their personal lives. Foul language, some sex, lots of politics. It's Portland, after all.
{And Cage and Emily are getting married! And you all are invited. If Ryan can manage to find a judge, a dress for Emily, and a mother of the bride? We're good.)
About the author
L J. Breedlove is former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
She says: 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. Works for me.
