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 8 in the Newsroom PDX series pulled from today's headlines. Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. What do you expect when it's Portland?
