# List of newspapers in Oregon

Note to future editors: this article is copied by transclusion into the article "List of newspapers in the United States". Only include links here unless you plan to rewrite that article to use part of the list here, such as for listing only major papers on the main page. Include anything relevant to this page only &#x2D; things that should only show on this page and not be carried back to the main article &#x2D; by placing it between <noinclude&#x3E; </noinclude&#x3E; blocks. Also, make sure there is nothing &#x2D; no CR &#x2D; before a <noinclude&#x3E; if one is not to be included in the upstream article, or occurs after the </noinclude&#x3E;, or an extra blank line will be sent back to the calling article 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.

## Newspapers no longer in print

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.
