When I heard earlier this week that Willamette Week had won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting with it's story about the 30 year secret of Neil Goldschmidt's sexual abuse of a 14 year-old girl I was very happy to hear that they got the credit for breaking this story.
Willamette Week chose to publish the first parts of this story on their website when it became clear that if they waited for their normal weekly press time they would be beaten to the punch by both the Oregonian and the Portland Tribune.

 Willamette Week Online | News | HORN-TOOTIN' | Eyes on the Prize
Chicago Tribune (on Tuesday): In perhaps the most surprising Pulitzer announcement Monday, the investigative reporting prize went to Willamette Week, a weekly paper in Portland, Ore. Nigel Jaquiss, 42, a former Wall Street oil trader, won the prize for exposing an ex-governor's secret sexual relationship with a teenage girl.
The Oregonian, which was a finalist in the Pulitzer's national-reporting category for the newspaper's series on methamphetamine (on Tuesday): Goldschmidt's confession, which was forced by Willamette Week's investigation, shocked Oregonians who revered this leader as infallible.
Willamette Week, founded 30 years ago, has carved a niche for itself with its unflinching look at Oregon politics and its whimsical reviews of rock bands and cheap restaurants.

 portland imc - 2004.12.08 - Willamette Week
The Willy Week is usually a litle bit better than the Oregonian as a news and information resource, but I think many would agree- that is a pretty low bar.
Not only was Williamette Week severely scooped on this important story, but the staff of Willy Week would never have the integrity to challenge such a well connected con-man as Neil, or his accomplices.
The inadequacies of publications like the Willamete Week are the reason that you are reduced to defending such a putrid rag here on indy, in an effort to gain some credibility and standing.

What's more, the editor isn't denying some of the charges against her are true — such as that she overrode the judges' selection in favor of a story she alone liked.
Of the three guest judges — novelists Myrlin Hermes, Jody Seay, and Kief Hillsbery — one (Hermes) had "e–mailed the editors to express her dismay" at the announced winner; another (Seay) said "she never even saw the winner"; and the third, Hillsbery, was "holed up in a cabin somewhere" writing and hadn't been reached yet.
Willamette Week's editor–in–chief Mark Zusman would only say he was "comfortable" that arts editor Caryn B. Brooks "did a good job of selecting the winners." In other words, he had nothing to do with it if it turned out to be bad.

 AlterNet: MediaCulture: Alternative Pulitzer
The paper, Willamette Week, in Portland, Ore., won the investigative reporting category for an astonishing series of reports on a former governor's long cover-up of sexual misconduct with a teenage girl.
The Willamette Week's report on former Gov. Neil Goldschmidt, written by Nigel Jaquiss, was explosive.
Bloggers may express "alternative" viewpoints with pizzazz but virtually none of them have the resources and skills to do the kind of patient investigative reporting that was required in order to strip a former governor of his apparent immunity from both law and morality.

 portland imc - 2005.03.11 - Willamette Week's Hypocrisy Exposed Again
Willamette Week was beholden to do favors for Old Town real-estate interests by receiving a subsidized, below-market-value rental rate on its former Old Town office space when it wrote a nasty, homophobic smear "expose" against the director of a social-service agency in an attempt to prevent the agency from locating in gentrifying Old Town.
In a recent "Where Are They Now?" article, the sleazy paper repeats these antique charges against Michael Stoops and even went so far as to try to cause trouble between Stoops and his current employer, the National Coalition for the Homeless.
The sleazoid tabloid has repeatedly regurgitated this disgusting smear, and yet again, in "Thirty Years of Willamette Week" (March 9), they do it again.

The Willamette Week Vol 29, Issue 03 cover is a cartoon family fighting at thanksgiving by Matt Clark.
While the Willamette Week cover does actually relate to the story on page 18, I find the image boring, and harping on the old "unhappy family dinner" thing is boring.

The Wednesday, April 3, issue of Willamette Week features a cover story on the "OMMA 2" initiative campaign, which seeks to expand and clarify the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act in the Nov. 5 election.
The April 3 issue of Willamette Week also features four out of four positive responses to "the proposal to make medical marijuana available to more people" from the man-on-the-street types in "Whose Line Is It, Anyway," ensuing.
The effect, however, appears to be temporary: Teens who had smoked marijuana heavily but had quit for at least three months seemed to rebound to their former levels of intelligence, challenging the notion that the drug permanently damages one's brain.

 Which newspaper is better, Portland Mercury or Willamette Week? | The Maverick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Talking to editor, owner and CEO Mark Zusman (father of Sam, a junior) of the Willamette Week I asked what he thought made his paper a successful one in the Portland Metro area.
Junior Sylvan C said "The personals in the Mercury are a lot more enjoyable to read and I think the quality of the film and concert listings are better the the ones in Willamette Week."
"The WIllamette Week has better sports coverage" says Sam Z. "The Mercury has tear out posters" says junior Lars J. After talking extensively about this I have come to the conclusion that the Mercury is the choice of younger Portlanders and the Willamette Week older ones.
