Eugene Register-Guard languishes under Gannett, nation’s largest newspaper chain
The Eugene Register-Guard, once one of the best newspapers in the region, today has no local editor, no publisher, no physical newsroom and little love from a dismayed citizenry. The news staff that once exceeded 80 now stands at six.
The paper’s editor quit last fall and was not replaced locally. The two remaining news reporters are taking direction from editors at the Statesman Journal, located 66 miles north in Salem. The third largest paper in Oregon has taken control of the second largest.
