(Redirected from List of Oregon newspapers)

This is a list of newspapers in the U.S. state of Oregon. Oregon news historian George Stanley Turnbull discussed the growth of Oregon newspapers from the 1850s to the 1930s in his 1936 History of Oregon Newspapers. Lists of Oregon newspapers have been maintained in the Oregon Blue Book and Oregon Exchanges since at least the early 20th century; the latter noted the need for frequent updates due to changes in the news industry in 1923.

The list is divided between papers currently being produced and those produced in the past and subsequently terminated.

Daily newspapers

Weekly, semi-weekly and monthly newspapers

Alternative newspapers

Digital only newspapers

College newspapers

Oregon's first newspaper, the Spectator, made use of the first newspaper printing press in the western United States.

The earliest newspaper in Oregon was the Oregon Spectator, published in Oregon City from 1846, by a press association headed by George Abernethy. This was joined in November 1850 by the Milwaukie Western Star and two partisan papers – the Whig Oregonian, published in Portland beginning on December 4, 1850, and the Democratic Statesman, launched in Oregon City in March 1851. The latter paper would subsequently move to Salem, and it continues today as the Statesman-Journal.
