A Guide to Portland Corporate Media

Since we're about to see a lot more national focus on news coming out of Portland, I think it's important to reiterate that the corporate media serve the interests of the aristocracy not the people. Corporate media outlets are untrustworthy and are best avoided altogether. If you choose to consume corporate media, please be aware of the owners and their agendas. None of these outlets is locally owned and are primarily focused on advancing their national agenda.

- KATU - owned by Sinclair
- KOIN - owned by Nexstar, formerly owned by Advance
- KGW - owned by Tegna, being acquired by Nexstar
- KPTV - owned by Gray Media
- The Oregonian - owned by Advance
