In July 2020, I created a news river to track what was going on in the Portland, Oregon area regarding the daily protests (George Floyd/Black Lives Matter). That river has been very helpful to me, but I felt that there was not a good place to capture the highlights of that river. After discussions with Ken Smith, professor of English at Indiana University-South Bend, I decided to start a project to collect those highlights, document them, and to try to provide some insights into the ongoing struggle in Portland regarding police brutality.
That project has created Portland Protest News, a news site summarizing the events in Portland related to the ongoing protests. The site publishes a daily list of links to articles and videos about the Portland protests. Users can sign up for a daily email with links of the day, subscribe via RSS, or go directly to the site. If you have any interest in following this topic, Portland Protest News is a valuable resource.
