Free publisher's note: We have some exciting news! We are starting our test pilot for local journalism in the classroom.
Free news: Columbia Gorge News earned a first-place General Excellence award in the national Better Newspaper Contest and a second-place General Excellence award in the Pacific NW News Contest, which includes Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
Free commentary: Two hundred fifty years ago, the Declaration of Independence was adopted in Philadelphia. But America did not become a country only in that room. It became a country as the news moved from community to community.
Free commentary: As local newspapers have come under increasing pressure from economic challenges and shifting media consumption patterns, community leaders have witnessed the negative impact on civic life.
The opinions expressed are “your voice,” and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Columbia Gorge News, its staff, publisher or advertisers.
Free commentary: This new year, I want to say thank you to our readers far and wide. I also thank my reporters, freelancers and volunteers, who continue to put in extra effort week by week to cover important issues facing our community, work that is incredibly important.
FREE NEWS: This is not just a media story. It’s a real problem for the communities without local news. When no one is covering school boards, city councils, public budgets or community health decisions, the public is left uninformed — and unrepresented.
FREE NEWS: Week after week, Columbia Gorge News staff work to bring our local communities the news. News that matters. News that helps us better understand what is happening and why, from people who are part of the communities they serve.
