Ward Weaver declares himself the “prime suspect” in the Oregon City missing girls case.

The Portland police spied on legal political groups in the 1960s and ’70s.

The regional population is growing twice as fast as previously estimated, straining land-use planning policies.

Downtown residents fear the Transit Mall Revitalization Project will put too much traffic on central city streets.

The raw milk movement ignores safety laws.

Dotty’s owner Richard Craig Estey is making millions off a loophole in Oregon Lottery laws.

East Precinct is being sold out from under the Portland Police Bureau.

These are just a few of the many important news stories the Portland Tribune has broken during the past five years Ñ and they underscore what readers can expect in the future as the newspaper continues covering the critical issues we all face.

When Robert Pamplin Jr. founded the Portland Tribune, which published its first issue Feb. 9, 2001, he promised the city an independent, locally owned newspaper that focuses on local people and events. The Portland Tribune has done just that for five years now, winning praise from area residents and dozens of awards from such prestigious organizations as the Society of Professional Journalists and the Inland Press Association, which named the Tribune the best nondaily newspaper in the country.
