Willamette Week

Willamette Week is Portland, Oregon's award-winning alternative media outlet. We appear in print (every Wednesday) and online (wweek.com) with over 2.5 million unique readers monthly. Annually we produce six magazines and numerous events. We also operate Give!Guide, a charitable effort that has raised more than $28 million for local nonprofits since 2004. Willamette Week is the only weekly newspaper ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting (2005). We believe nothing can empower the people of Portland more effectively than real news, properly considered and illustrated, concerning local life. We remain fiercely independent, and we strive to maintain an edge. We mean not only to be ahead of the competition in terms of news and ideas, but to be daring in our reporting, writing, and presentation. As a result, year in and year out, Willamette Week wins more journalism awards in Oregon than any other non-daily newspaper.
