MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN OREGON
Early publishing routes along the Pacific Northwest coast established a highly localized print network that remains heavily divided between major metropolitan dailies and isolated rural community papers. The Advance Publications-owned Oregonian dominates Portland with the largest daily circulation in the entire region. Other significant publications include the EO Media Group-owned Bulletin in Bend, which serves the central high desert, and the historically notable Albany Democrat Herald, currently published by Lee Enterprises. The Portland market also sustains a dedicated cultural and alternative print network, anchored by the Asian Reporter and the Pulitzer-winning Willamette Week.
