Description

People over Politics?

The job of a newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable — Finley Peter Dunne.

It feels like Portland staggers from crisis to crisis, and the Eyewitness News staggers along with the city — trying to cover the challenges the city faces, while dealing with their own personal crises too. It's not easy — just ask Blair Williams. She's been hiding her brains behind a flippy, cheerleader persona. But now, EWN needs her to step up and become the cutthroat reporter she really is. But deep inside, Blair knows that nobody likes a smart girl.

Will being the smart woman be any different? She's about to find out.

This is the sixth omnibus in Newsroom PDX, a pollical suspense series about a college newsroom in downtown Portland during some of the most tumultuous times the city has ever faced.

Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. Rather like the city itself.

This omnibus includes Smart Girl, Hero, and A Story Well Told.
