About the Portland Alliance

     The Portland Alliance is the city's oldest alternative progressive newspaper. The Alliance reports on the issues ignored or distorted by the corporate-dominated mainstream press, asking the hard questions you won't hear on the evening news or read in your daily newspaper.
     The Alliance was founded in 1981 as part of an effort to bring Oregon's progressives together in one coalition to oppose the growing power of conservative forces in this state. While that coalition continues to evolve, the newspaper created to give that coalition published print editions from 1981 through June 20111. The Portland Alliance has been providing a voice ever since for environmentalists, trade unionists, social justice activists, and others who are usually shut out, ignored or maligned by mainstream media
     Over the years the Alliance has broken stories missed by the mainstream press. In the 1990s we produced an award-winning series about health care and the homeless. In 2000, our coverage of Portland Police Chief Mark Kroeker's ties with homophobic Christian groups made national news and placed the controversial police chief under greater public scrutiny. That same year, we ran an exclusive report on the health risks facing the poor, Native Americans and other people of color who rely on fish from the polluted Willamette River - a story reported several months later in the pages of The Oregonian.
     The Alliance is about more than reporting the news. During the past three  decades the paper has served as a place where Portland's progressive community can air ideas and thrash out differences through open discourse. We give progressives a voice and a seat  at the table.    Join us!
