Eugene news site launches this week, aiming to remake local journalism for digital age
Eugene lost dozens of local journalists after The Register-Guard newspaper sold to corporate, out-of-state owners in 2018. Longtime Register-Guard columnist Bob Welch said the community also lost a sense of itself.
“Eugene has always been a politically yeasty place,” Welch said, given to ideological foment and agitation. And yet Welch said The Register-Guard had served as a kind of public square, a nexus of events and ideas where residents of different ideologies could hash out civic priorities based on a commonly accepted version of the facts.
