• City Club of Portland. This organization has been around for over 100 years and sponsors many events centered on civic engagement. These events are often broadcast on the radio and livestreamed over Zoom.
• The Oregonian (OregonLive) Once Oregon's biggest and best newspaper, now a sad shadow of its former self. The company that has the rights to the electronic version (going back to 1850s) charges too much, so we don't subscribe. This link goes to the 'OregonLive' website, but some of the material is behind a paywall. Please let a librarian know if there is an article you would like to access.
• Willamette Week - this an "alternative weekly" newspaper for local news and politics. They cover many state, county, and city issues, often in greater depth and detail than The Oregonian. It has broken some stories that the Oregonian missed.
• Street Roots is a weekly Portland newspaper that focuses on issues of social justice, especially as it relates to people experiencing homelessness and poverty.
• Portland Mercury. Funny, crude, always irreverent, it sometimes has stories the other media miss.
• Portland Observer. This is the oldest continuous African-American owned publication in Oregon. The focus on education, health, politics, and law and justice issues as they relate to the local African-American community.
• Portland-Seattle Skanner.  Aimed at African-American readers, it tends to cover national stories more than local, but does have some local stories.
• Portland Tribune. A twice a week free paper, with ties to many of the suburban newspapers.
• KGW Television. Our local television stations don't do much original reporting. Usually they dove-tail on work done by the Oregonian. Still, occasionally they surprise you.
• KATU Television.
• KPTV Television.
• KOIN Television. 
• Children First Oregon An advocacy and research group on children's health, education, family status and similar issues for Oregon. They put out a report every 2 years.
