关于我们
Willamette Week is Portland, Oregon's award-winning alternative media outlet. We appear in print (every Wednesday) and online (wweek.com) with over 2.5 million unique readers monthly. Annually we produce four magazines and numerous events. We also operate Give!Guide, a charitable effort that has raised more than $48 million for local nonprofits since 2004. Willamette Week is the only weekly newspaper ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting (2005). We believe nothing can empower the people of Portland more effectively than real news, properly considered and illustrated, concerning local life. We remain fiercely independent, and we strive to maintain an edge. We mean not only to be ahead of the competition in terms of news and ideas, but to be daring in our reporting, writing, and presentation. As a result, year in and year out, Willamette Week wins more journalism awards in Oregon than any other non-daily newspaper.

Oregon is unhealthy, and it needs a relentless reporter to help it get well. Oregon ranks 48th in the country for youth mental health, and our rate of deaths from alcohol is double the national average. The state’s psychiatric hospital has no room to accept even the most dangerously troubled people, vaccination rates are plummeting, and Portland’s two largest hospital systems are on the brink of a merger that could dramatically reduce options for patients. We're seeking a healthcare reporter to cover everything from water fluoridation to medical bill-rigging. If you like stirring up trouble, can spot poor performers hidden in a government database, and have a knack for getting nurses to talk on background, you’re just the person we’re looking for. Come from a background that’s underrepresented in journalism? That’s even better. Send a resume and three clips to?[email protected].

Yesterday marked Willamette Week's 50th birthday. In celebration, we published an incredible issue celebrating 50 people, places and things that have transformed Portland over the last five decades. Many of the stories inside remind us of the power an individual or small group can have, even when larger systems feel broken. Edited by OG WWers Chris Lydgate and Audrey Van Buskirk who poured so much love and energy into this issue. Read it below. https://lnkd.in/e-KGrQ7g

This morning Portland City Council declared Nov. 13, 2024 an official day of celebration in honor of WW’s 50th Anniversary. While many newspapers have closed their doors recently, we’ve expanded both our newsroom and reach. That’s in part due to reader support, which now accounts for 20% of our annual budget. Right now, we are attempting to raise $85,000 through Friends of Willamette Week’s Give!Guide campaign and are about $25,000 away from unlocking a matching gift of $30,000 from FOWW’s top donors. Invest in local independent journalism today and give now! https://lnkd.in/g_3Q3wwK
