Welcome
Wired Oregon began humbly one year ago with a mission to report the previously unreported stories of the people, places and politics that make our state great. Today, we’re relaunching WiredOregon.com with a renewed focus on that mission.
In 2009, a significant portion of our funding required that we focus most of our efforts on the Legislature. While political topics will remain a focus — especially in a year with key ballot measures as well as gubernatorial and senate campaigns — Wired Oregon strives to be much more.
We consider Wired Oregon an online magazine with a broad focus that features professional and citizen journalists bringing you the stories that are important yet neglected by traditional media outlets.
While we won’t break every story, Wired Oregon helps set the media agenda in the state.
Wired Oregon is unique among media outlets in that we directly partner with local governments and organizations to uncover those important stories.
We also know how to have fun, and will expand our coverage beyond the serious to include entertainment and sports stories.
Our contributors include Emmy, Associated Press and other industry award winners and nominees. Person for person, our team is as experienced and respected as any newsroom in the state. However, we’re also proud to partner with citizen journalists who are knowledgeable and respected in their areas of expertise.
We hope you’ll not only read, watch and listen to our content, but also join our community by commenting on stories, becoming a fan on our Facebook page, following our Twitter feed and even contributing a story or two along the way.
So, welcome! Please take a cruise through our publication — there are reams of archive stories and videos — and check back often for new content. By all means, contact us if you have any feedback, suggestions, criticisms or want to learn how your community or organization can directly partner with Wired Oregon.

The hearing tomorrow night at 5 p.m. in the Eugene city hall council chamber about riverfront development is a very big deal. Details about the ORI proposal are mostly unknown. What will happen to the old ORI building ? Why did EWEB refuse to clean up the toxic waste at the development site ? What about the second UO building that is being planned in the research park (on the South side of the tracks next to the millrace), will the ORI appeal mess delay it also ?
