When you’re the editor of a snarky, smart, upstart of a community alt-weekly newspaper and the mayor proclaims it “Eugene Weekly Day.”

When the new digital paywall publication in town tries to bolster its "news desert" narrative by pretending so hard your newspaper doesn't exist that it quotes a paper in another city on a mention of your newspaper. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/governme…

Leftist newspaper … I prefer commie rag, but whatever. It’s a beautiful picture of Eve and she did a great job writing her article about why she has educated herself and others on guns.

Why yes, I did drive a very slow race car in a race on an actual race track. #24HoursOfLemons #journalism eugeneweekly.com/2025/07/17/whe…

I’m looking at the posts about pink slime journalism and wondering what you call the kind of journalism that comes in claiming an area is a news desert and then half the stories it does are lifted and redone from the news outlets that actually exist? News mirage?

One of the weirder — & harder — things about being a journalist is seeing the names of people you know in press releases, especially when it's a car wreck or crime. I steel myself whenever it's local. Related but unrelated, I need to drop by court today in the embezzlement case.

I really appreciated the invite from 8 for the journalists of The Torch (LCC) at Lane CC to talk to Tom Bowman today. These reporters are both the future and also reporters here and now, and community college has been a step on the path for more than one Pulitzer winner.

I rarely use my doctorate in comp lit for journalism directly. But damn, sometimes it feels good to sign an email Dr. Camilla Mortensen in response to a petty message from someone who talks down to journalists and signs their own note doctor. #petty #partylikeajournalist
