  Nigel Jaquiss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nigel Jaquiss (born 1962) is a journalist who won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, for his work exposing governor of Oregon Neil Goldschmidt's alleged sexual abuse of a 14-year-old girl while he was mayor of Portland, Oregon.
Jaquiss almost lost his prize-winning scoop when he and his editor (Mark Zusman) decided to give Goldschmidt a full week to respond to the allegations the weekly was planning to make.
Jaquiss' Pulitzer represented only the fifth time in the prize's 88-year history that a Pulitzer was awarded to a weekly paper, and the first in five years.

 Metroblogging Portland: "Red Oregon" On The Way?" Perhaps Not
So I've been reading Nigel's piece on what he feels is Oregon's inexorable move from a "blue" (Democratic) state to a "red" (Republican) state.
Nigel seems to read the narrowing of the Dem's party registration edge and the counterpart swelling of independents as an indicator this state is getting set to switch to a GOP preference.
Also, Nigel tends to think that the population growth in booming areas such as Deschutes is automatically a boost for the GOP.

As the weekly newspaper prepared to publish its story, the politician called a meeting with editors from The Oregonian newspaper in which he acknowledged that he had sex with the 14-year-old while he was Portland mayor.
This past January, Jaquiss was leaked confidential papers that raised questions about whether the Texas Pacific Group’s planned buyout of Portland General Electric, the state’s largest utility, was in the public interest.

Following up leads that larger papers had overlooked, Jaquiss documented a three-year long sexual relationship in the 1970s between Neil Goldschmidt, then mayor of Portland, and a 14-year-old girl who baby-sat for his children.

 CyberJournalist.net: Story broken online wins Pulitzer
The Willamette Week's Nigel Jaquiss won the Pulitzer Prize this week for investigative reporting for his work exposing a sexual relationship between former Gov. Neil Goldschmidt and a 14-year-old girl.
The next day, Goldschmidt resigned from the state's board of higher education and the Oregon Electric Utility Co. Fearing the weekly paper would be scooped by the local daily, The Willamette Week published the allegations online.
Still, Jaquiss and the Willamette Week deserve kudos for recognizing the value of the Web and using it to help ensure that the Willamette Week -- and not the daily Portland Oregonian -- broke the news first.

When Nigel Jaquiss, a reporter for the alternative weekly newspaper Willamette Week in Portland, Ore., won the most prestigious award in journalism--the Pulitzer Prize--this week, the biggest surprise seemed at first that the award was given to an alternative news weekly.
When Jaquiss was getting ready to publish his barn-burner on May 5, 2004 after two months of investigation, he sent the former Oregon Governor, Neil Goldschmidt, a letter outlining what he had found and asking for a comment.
If not for the Internet, Nigel Jaquiss and Willamette Week would have been scooped by the competition and the small paper and Jaquiss would not be a Pulitzer winner today.

Nigel Jaquiss of the 90,000-circulation Portland, Ore., alternative newspaper Willamette Week was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in investigative journalism for his exposé of former Oregon governor Neil Goldschmidt's long-concealed sexual relationship with a 14-year-old.
The Oregonian story didn't mention it's own part in the evolution of Jaquiss' scoop, even though the daily's role in the scandal was so egregious it made national headlines of its own.
In May, the Willamette Week informed Goldschmidt they were about to break their story, a story that had taken months to research.

Granted, the argument Nigel makes here is much less hyperbolic than the bold-font teaser: basically that the rationale for building and investing in South Waterfront, a chance to build a biotech-oriented campus, is iffy at best - kind of like for invading Iraq.
Nigel makes a perfectly fair point without subheadlines in the story resorting to such inflated rhetoric.
It’s about high-density urban development, which is the kind of city building that is attracting people to Portland in droves for its quality of life, which is an alternative to many of the sprawled-out megalopolises plaguing much of the rest of the country.

 CSIndy: May the best alternative win (April 14, 2005)
In a separate article, published last December, Jaquiss describes a tight-knit group of elite Oregonians who knew enough about Goldschmidt's problem to have done something about it.
One of those non-actors, as it turned out, was Oregon's largest daily newspaper, the Oregonian, which had a chance to reveal the cover-up but inexplicably did not.
The prize won by Jaquiss is a reminder of the importance of alternative weekly newspapers -- and the continuing tendency for monopoly newspapers to ignore the values of good journalism in pursuit of profit or behind-the-scenes influence.
