The @portlandmercury.com examines Carpenter Media, which controls Portland's suburban newspapers. I think most people don't know how badly these papers have been cut, and increasingly, permanently closed. For the average person scrolling their feed — how can they notice what's not there?

"I wasn't trying to tell the truth to the media, I was trying to tell a story." Excellent reporting from @matthewkish.bsky.social on a messy bankruptcy featuring the likely new owner of the Trail Blazers. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

Police say they need direct routes to pursue criminals by car, but cyclists say the infrastructure keeps them safe, too.

I furrow my brow, intense with concentration. A long silence. Finally the insight reveals itself. "Numbers," I say sagely, "can go up or down."

Drivers have repeatedly slammed into the home while navigating toward Northeast Broadway.

Drivers are supposed to navigate a 90-degree turn onto 24th Avenue without stopping -- but some speeders jump the bend and careen into the home. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Turns out the “random fan” was a Pickles intern and the starting second baseman at Lewis & Clark College. It’s an amazing story. But like my dad always told me, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Nice swing, though. lcpioneers.com/sports/baseb...

Two more Oregon newspapers have died. A decade ago, Pamplin had 10 editorial staffers working out of the Gresham Outlook office, including staff for the Sandy Post and Estacada News. Now there's one reporter left — assigned to cover ~150,000 people www.oregonlive.com/clackamascou...

With the demise of the Trib, I switched my subscription to the LO Review A local paper, making small-town editorial decisions, can still lead to big change For instance, the suit that made Oswego Lake public was inspired by a WW story ... whose author got the idea from local zoning board coverage!

I've been thinking about this and I think people who say "just start your own newsletter/pub" can no longer tell the difference between an Op-Ed and The News. Most successful newsletters out there? Op-Eds, people opining or giving context to the news, but NOT the news itself!

A Multnomah County jury found former journalist Mike Bivins guilty on all counts Thursday.
