This free Web site is a service of the Herald and News, a community newspaper serving Klamath and Lake counties, Oregon, and Modoc and Siskiyou counties, Calif., for more than a century. They ‘re proud to have launched a redesign of the site as of Aug. 20, 2007, with a decidedly different approach. They aim to provide a lively site that gives members of their community several short news updates daily, as well as ample opportunity for interaction.

While Web users won’t find the complete daily coverage provided readers of their newspaper, they think they’ll find something equally valuable in local breaking news, an interactive community calendar, selected features, blogs, video and more. As of this writing, there are several pages still under construction, and we hope users will check them out frequently for progress.

Love them or hate them, newspapers are really a combination of two things. The first component is the bedrock “institution,” that ideal and set of principles that survive through the years. The second part is the “organism” itself, the living, breathing and constantly innovating beehive of creativity that the staff renews each day — or in the age of interactivity, renews moment by moment. So let us tell you a bit about both elements of the Hrriyet Daily News & Economic Review. In the first sense, they are a newspaper unchanged from the first issue printed on March 15, 1961, in which founder Ilhan evik explained their mission, to “be the world’s window on Turkey.”

evik also emphasized the principles that have served the newspaper for nearly half a century: fairness, impartiality, objectivity. The world and Turkey have changed greatly in the intervening decades, these principles have not. Their editorial policy is independent. You will find all shades of perspective and all interests reflected in their reporting. And in a country of endless diversity, there are few views or opinions that you will not find on their editorial pages. The scope of their mission and the resources we bring to that mission, however, have greatly expanded in recent years. In 2001, the then-Turkish Daily News joined the Dogan Media Group, one of Europe’s largest newspaper groups and by far the biggest in Turkey.

The following article was published October 13, 2001 in a special section commemorating The Dalles Chronicle’s Grand Opening in the former Sawyers True Value Hardware store at 315 Federal Street, The Dalles OR 97058. The building was remodeled through the year 2000, and moving day came on June 1, 2001. This article was written by then-editor, Dan Spatz. The Dalles, Oregon is known for its history, and newspapers have been part of that heritage since Oregon statehood in 1859. The first newspaper in Eastern Oregon was published in The Dalles. In the following decades no fewer than 20 newspapers competing dailies, a multitude of weeklies and even a monthly would document the history of The Dalles, from its days as a military outpost on the frontier through the momentous events of the 20th century, into a new century and millennium.

While The Dalles Chronicle today is the oldest newspaper in this region, it started out as a new kid on the block when its first edition hit the street on Dec. 10, 1890. By that time, there was already a 30-year tradition of newspapers here, and the Chronicle was only one of several Johnny-Come-Latelies to enter the fray. For a better perspective, lets start at the beginning, just a few short weeks after Oregon was admitted to the Union. A 1925 newspaper clipping, reporting events already 65 years old by that writing, said that during the first year of the Journals existence a syndicate of citizens, headed by H.P. Isaacs, took over the paper, and moved the plant from the Garrison downtown.

Established in 1946, the Vanguard was originally the newspaper of the Vanport College Extension in Vanport, Oregon, from which the Vanguard name is derived. The Vanport College Extension relocated to downtown Portland, Oregon after it was destroyed by a flood on May 30, 1948, and eventually became Portland State University. The first issue was published November 16, 1946, under the nameplate “Vet’s Extended”. The name was changed to “Vanguard” beginning January 14, 1947. The Vanguard published the following Wednesday, May 31, 1967, as the “independent” Vanguard. The cost of publication was covered by donations from faculty members.

The tabloid format newspaper has a circulation of 5,000, and is distributed for free in the Portland State campus area. It publishes Tuesday through Friday during the academic year, and once a week during the summer. The newspaper’s approximately $300,000 annual operating budget is funded in part through student fees and in part through advertising revenue. The Portland State Student Publications Board, which consists of four students, four faculty members, and one community member, acts as the Vanguard’s publishing body.
