Columbia Gorge News is a weekly newspaper based in Hood River, Oregon. It covers communities throughout the Columbia River Gorge, including those in Wasco County, Oregon and Klickitat County, Washington. It was formed in April 2020 by the merger of The Dalles Chronicle, Hood River News and White Salmon Enterprise after Eagle Newspapers sold them to Chelsea Marr. The paper has a circulation around 7,000 and publishes on Wednesdays. Columbia Gorge News is a member of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association.[1]
History
The Dalles Chronicle was first published on December 10, 1890.[2] The Chronicle was formerly owned by Scripps League Newspapers, which was acquired by Pulitzer in 1996.[3][4] Pulitzer sold the paper to Eagle Newspapers later that year.[5] That same year Eagle merged The Dalles Reminder into The Dalles Chronicle.[6]
Hood River News was founded in 1905,[7] and it was bought by C. P. Sonnichsen and Hugh G. Ball in 1908. Sonnichsen assumed the role of manager and Ball as editor. By 1912 the newspaper had 1,500 subscribers and transitioned from weekly to semiweekly.[8] During his career, Ball headed the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association and was on the board of directors for the National Editorial Association.[9] In 1961, Hood River News was sold to Eagle Newspapers.[10]
The White Salmon Enterprise began publishing in 1903.[11] It had been owned by the Meresse family since 1912 until it was purchased by Hood River News on July 1, 1976.[12]
Due to the COVID-19 recession in the United States, Eagle Newspapers announced plans to shutter the Hood River News, The Dalles Chronicle and the White Salmon Enterprise on March 31, 2020.[13] Instead the papers' publisher Chelsea Marr purchased them.[14] The three combined to form the Columbia Gorge News on April 8.[15][16]
