Willamette Bridge
''Willamette Bridge'' was an underground newspaper published in Portland, Oregon from June 7, 1968 to June 24, 1971.
In the spring of 1968, several groups of people in Portland were discussing starting an "underground" newspaper in Portland, similar to the L.A. Free Press or the Berkeley Barb. They were partially motivated by a frustration with the reporting in the mainstream press, which was still supporting the Vietnam war, opposing progressive movements like the United Farmworkers Union, and showed no understanding at all of the growing "Counterculture" and its music, dress and mores. On the other hand, they saw many things going on in the city that were positive, but isolated- Antiwar activity at Reed College, "Hippies" gathering around Lair Hill park, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party gathering strength, craft stores and head shops opening around town, local bands like The Great Pumpkin and The Portland Zoo giving concerts. A newspaper could bring these groups together and break the information monopoly of the daily papers.〔Michael Wells, Willamette Bridge editor and publisher, Oct 29, 2015〕
After a few meetings, three of these groups joined forces and the Willamette Bridge was born. The people who started The Bridge (as it came to be known) didn't think of themselves as just "journalists", per se- but rather, as communicators, community organizers. They saw their role as spreading the word about what was happening in the city and the world, and hoping that that just spreading that information would help change the community.〔Michael Wells, Willamette Bridge editor and publisher, Oct 29, 2015〕
