The West Linn Tidings is a weekly newspaper published in West Linn, Oregon, United States, a suburb of Portland. It is owned by the Pamplin Media Group.[2][3]
History
[edit]In 1981,[4] Joe Blaha, who worked at Eagle Newspapers, founded the West Linn Tidings.[5] In 1987, the newspaper was merged along with the Lake Oswego Review into Times Publishing Co.[6] a subsidiary of The Guard Publishing Co. which owned the The Register-Guard.[7] The joint venture with Eagle was called Community Newspapers, Inc.[8] The business was sold to Steve Clark in 1996.[9] Pamplin Media Group bought the paper along with ten others in August 2000.[10]
A 2014 Daily Beast story noted the amusing crime blotter stories in the Tidings as well as the neighboring Lake Oswego Review.[11] As of 2017, the Tidings had a partnership with KOIN, a local television station.[12]
