• Breaking News Intern

  • May 2020 - Oct 2020

  I am officially a breaking news intern and have completed the tasks of the average breaking news reporter. However, most of my internship has been devoted to reporting on police accountability and covering the Black Lives Matter movement in Portland. I have broken stories on transparency of protest policing and use of force, shadowy agreements for help from outside agencies and was the first to report on local and federal law enforcement working together, even though local officials had publicly denied it. My work earned me two five week extensions at The Oregonian. Show less
