It’s time: subscribe to your local paper; turn off your ad blocker. We did.

We live in Portland, and a few years back we let our subscription to the local paper, The Oregonian, lapse because we just weren’t reading it regularly.

Then came Coronavirus, and suddenly I found myself checking the OregonLive home page daily, multiple times per day.

It didn’t take long for the penny to drop: we had to support the local journalism the reporters at The Oregonian created with our dollars as well as our attention.
