Overview

The free newspaper, published every Thursday, has a circulation of 30,000.[1] It publishes an annual "Best of Eugene" list, a restaurant guide ("Chow!"), and special sections on festivals, music, wine, health and travel. Eugene Weekly covers local and state politics, news, arts and culture, and it publishes investigative[2][3] and solutions journalism.[4]

Eugene Weekly has won regional and national awards for its reporting,[5] solutions journalism[6] and photography[7] and for its arts criticism.[8]

History

A weekly arts and culture newspaper, named What's Happening, was first published on September 16, 1982. A collective of five residents launched the newspaper and operated it in its early days. It was sold to Art and Anita Johnson and Fred and Georga Taylor in 1991; Fredy Taylor was the former editor and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper was renamed to Eugene Weekly in 1993 and expanded their scope beyond arts and culture to cover local news and politics.[9] Fred Taylor remained one of the owners of the Weekly until his death in 2015.[10] The editor is Camilla Mortensen.[11]

In December 2023, the newspaper announced it had lost over $100,000 to an embezzlement scheme by a former employee who had access to their finances.[12] The loss left the Weekly with several months of unpaid bills and unable to pay its 10 staff members, who were laid off beginning on December 21. The newspaper was put on hiatus due to an unpaid debt to its printer; a fundraising campaign was started on GoFundMe to restart operations.[13][14][15] In one week, the paper rased more than $100,000 in donations, leading Weekly managers to suggest they could restart printing before the end of January. However, managers estimated $188,000 is needed to get the paper out of enough debt to get back on track.[16] After receiving $150,000 in donations, the newspaper announced it would resume weekly printing starting Feb. 8 with roughly 25,000 copies going to newsstands.[17]
