OregonLive.com

Was there an article for OregonLive.com at one point? I thought I saw it previously, but see that OregonLive now links to The Oregonian. Are they not considered separate companies? Perhaps OregonLive does not satisfy a notability requirement. --Another Believer _(Talk) 06:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Deleted content

This edit, which made some good updates and changes, also eliminated a little material that might be considered unfavorable to the Oregonian -- about shutting down the Oregon Journal, and about the WW scooping them on the Goldschmidt story. Might bear some looking into. -Pete (talk) 04:58, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

New "Political stance" section needed

I don't have time to write it at the moment, but I just wanted to make a note that a "Political stance" section is definitely needed. Even though accusations of political bias are mentioned at times throughout other parts of the article, many other newspapers have such a section broken out (some even have "Political stance" as a list item in the box to the right). Here is one resource that will be helpful in talking about the politics of the Oregonian over time: http://crosscut.com/2013/06/oregonians-cutbacks-newspapers-layoffs-delivery/ And it should be noted that the Willamette Week has done a ton of great reporting on the O. --Thfump (talk) 00:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Second reference

The second reference, for the staff count, is a dead URL. -- SatanicSanta 22:38, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Presidential endorsement

This article implies by omission that The Oregonian first declined to endorse a U.S. presidential candidate in 2016. In fact, the paper hasn't endorsed a presidential candidate since 2008, when it endorsed Barack Obama. In any case, a citation is needed.

Thanks for providing these sources. I've rephrased the article to clarify that the 2016 election wasn't the first time The Oregonian/OregonLive's editorial board didn't make a presidential endorsement. Feel free to tweak the new wording or post another message here if you think it still needs improvement. — Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 07:36, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Circulation

Portland Reporter

Wow, I thought we had an article on this spinoff, also described (laughably) as a "throwaway", paper, but apparently not. Parking this source here for the time being: [1] -Pete Forsyth (talk) 20:17, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Publication frequency

Since The Oregonian no longer has a daily print edition as of 2023 ([2]), is it still accurate to label it a daily newspaper? Since semi-weekly newspaper seems to refer to papers published twice a week, there doesn't seem to be an easy label for a four-day-a-week frequency. Do we just call it a four-day-a-week paper similar to the IP edit here? Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 18:11, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I'd be shocked if there are any newspapers that still print seven days a week. Generally, a daily newspaper today is any newspaper that prints at least four times a week. Anything less is called some variation of weekly. Eric Schucht (talk) 18:24, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
