Willamette Week
Oregonian staffers received this memo last Friday, the day after Willamette Week posted its story about politico Neil Goldschmidt and his sexual relationship with a 14-year-old babysitter in the 1970s: "We had gotten a tip about it sometime last winter. ....We began pursuing the rumors last winter, but didn't get too far. For one thing, the woman at times would confirm what had happened and then at other times deny it. ...Steve Engleberg said that in hindsight he wished that they'd put 48 reporters on the story the day they got the tip." (The memo is on the last page.)
> "Even more disturbing than The Oregonian's tone-deaf news coverage of the 'affair' was its editorial page," writes former Oregon labor commissioner Jack Roberts. (Oregonian)
> "In the history of Portland, it’s doubtful there has ever been a big story that took so long to end up in print," writes Pete Schulberg. "But when the story finally broke, it moved with lightning speed." (Portland Tribune)
