Oregon Exchanges
For the Newspaper Men of the State of Oregon
NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY OF OREGON
OREGON EXCHANGES herewith presents to its readers, for the first time, a directory of Oregon daily and weekly newspapers. A supplementary list of monthly and quarterly publications will appear in an early issue. The accuracy and completeness of this directory is to a considerable degree a register of the extent to which the editors and publishers of the state have responded to the requests for data, and the editor of Oregon Exchanges believes the result approaches completeness. The large number of changes in newspaper personnel since the last Oregon Blue Book was issued, two years ago. proved surprising. Forty changes of ownership out of 187 daily and weekly publications are listed. The addition of the publications of less frequent issuance will bring the total between 200 and 225 for the state.
Some of the papers have changed control two or more times in the two years since the Blue Book came out. Three regular news weeklies have suspended publication, while a similar number of dailies then existent have ceased to be. Five new weekly newspapers are listed—the Siuslaw Region, at Florence; the Monroe News, the Sutherlin Sun, the Vernonia Eagle, and the Brookings Interstate Sun.
The number of daily papers in the state outside of Portland is given at 23, and including Portland 28. Six of these are morning papers. Portland has three evening and two morning papers.
Eight cities of the state outside of Portland have two daily newspapers, and eight have two weeklies, each. Papers are published in 132 communities of the state.
The number of one-man shops in the state is decreasing, with fewer than a dozen proprietors now doing their own mechanical work in addition to the editing and business managing. Nearly fifty owners, however, or one-fourth of the entire number, are combining the position of foreman of the composing room with their newsgathering and advertising duties.
The hard-boiled old-timers who could see no future for women in journalism might be interested to cast their eyes over the list of editors, owners, business managers, reporters, and other employees of newspapers in this state. No fewer than seven weekly newspapers have women for their editors. Two of these are full owners. One, the Long Creek Ranger, conducted by Grace Porter, is a one-woman paper, for Miss Porter does all the work herself, editorial, business, and mechanical. Another one of these papers, the Maupin Times, conducted by Mrs. Jessiline E. Morrison, is an all-woman paper, with no man employed in any capacity about the place.
While the publications of less frequent issue are not included in the present list, owing to the failure to receive a complete return from them, a directory of these will appear in an early number. Approximate statistics on the newspaper profession as a whole can be made up for Oregon on the basis of the information submitted by the publishers in this and the later issue. As nearly as can be ascertained from the data prepared by the editors and publishers, there are 771 persons employed in the editorial, business and circulation departments of the daily, semi-weekly, and weekly newspapers of Oregon. Of these, 140 are women. The monthlies and quarterlies will bring these figures up close to one thousand. The mechanical employees of the newspapers and their attached job offices will virtually double this total. This is aside from the personnel of the purely job-printing offices not attached to or connected with newspapers. These are outside the scope of the present survey.
Following is the directory for the dailies. semi-weeklies, and weeklies as submitted from their respective offices:

[Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel and president of the Oregon State Editorial Association, contributes an article on his summer and fall vacation trips to Minnesota. Written in his well-known light vein, the article contains also some heavier stuff of value to Oregon newspapermen.]

Each of these departmentals would take up certain general subjects in their department for a short session and would then divide up into discussion of each of its departments,
An idea in Advertising
The Cottage Grove Sentinel put over a Christmas advertising stunt that brought in a number of extra shekels. During the two weeks carrying the bulk of holiday advertising, special sample-copy editions were issued and a charge of 10 cents the inch additional was made for insertion in the special edition of any ads appearing in the regular edition. Every local advertiser came in and the make-up of the

“The business department would have so much longer a program that some of their problems could be thrown into the
ial edition. This method reduced the cost to a minimum. A thousand extra copies of the paper were sent into territory in
general discussion of the business office and again some of these problems such as newsprint, labor and circulation could be taken up in general discussion of the
tions of Lane county tributary to Cottage
departments.
“In the arranging of our conference in to departmentals we should bear in mind that some of the discussions may be of interest to other departments than those which are holding same; i. e., the country
weeklies may want to sit in and listen to the business office talk about advertising, circulation, etc., as well as with the news office in their discussion of features, cor respondents, beneficial state propaganda,

Some newspaper men might argue that this was an admission to its advertisers that the Sentinel did not fully cover the field it should reach, but no advertiser
presented that argument. The territory that can be developed as a trade territory is much larger than the natural news paper field. No extra copies were sent into the local field, which the Sentinel
claims to cover thoroughly. The fact that every local advertiser
came into the special edition showed that the idea was appreciated by the business

interests. “I believe this to be a complicated pro
gram to accomplish but worth giving con siderable thought to so that we may get the benefits of the other publishers’ ex perience as well as listening to special speakers who would appear before the differentdepartments as well as in gen eral conference.
“Every editor should feel free to say what he thinks of this idea, and what his ideas are. If there is anything that can be suggested in a definite way of benefit to the publishers, it should be brought forward from the publisher’s viewpoint.”
If a newspaper does not cover
a certain territory, the only honest thing to do is to admit the fact. That gives the newspaper an opportunity to suggest a way of reaching that tenitory, with additional profit to itself. It gives the paper the opportunity to make itself the only advertising medium needed by its
advertisers. Instead of leaving the adver tiser to doubt the newspaper’s circulation statements, it cashes in on honesty and adds to its prestige. —~

[By the time this reaches the readers of Oregon Exchanges, its author will have changed her name to Mrs. Harold McDonald. But that’s another story. As Lucile F. Saunders the writer is known to newspapermen and newspaperwomen all over Oregon and all over South America, having been for several months employed in the Buenos Aires headquarters of that newsgathering agency. She is now a rewrite woman on the United Press in New York City, where she has been since returning from the land of the Prensa and the pampas. Miss Saunders has given here a most interesting detailed description of newsgathering and news-distributing methods in the world’s greatest city.]

News Service Staff Small
Before being initiated into the mysteries of the rewrite system, I had the idea that each office in New York handling a news service of this type had a mammoth staff. There were precisely five on the United Press day desk, handling the local distribution for New York state and New Jersey, tending the cable amplifications and the big stories for all wires. Of course, there were others supervising distribution, but this was the entire writing and reporting staff.

[71 Page:Oregon Exchanges volume 5.pdf/217 BUILDING UP THE SMALL PAPER
OREGON EXCHANGES has long had the theory that the quality of a newspaper is more directly dependent on the ability and enterprise of the publisher than upon the size of the town. The recent achievements of Nelson & Ray with the Junction City Times is another example of what two up-and coming newspapermen can accomplish in a small community—for, with all due respect to Junction, which is a fine little place, it is by no means a metropolis.
Let Jasper J . Ray, secretary-treasurer of the Artgraph Publishers, of which Thomas Nelson is president, and which publishes the Junction City Times and the Monroe News, tell how this concern has been building up in the last half year:
Business in our shop was as good as usual last July. The office force had enough to keep them busy, but somehow there was a feeling that we could do more. So Thomas Nelson, now editor-in-chief of the Junction City Times and the Monroe News and also president of this firm, known as the Artgraph Publishers, and I began to plan bigger things. These larger fields of endeavor, of which we mention a few below, have been made possible by the careful planning, farsightedness and guidance of our president, whose wide range of newspaper experience in dealing with the public for the last 34 years has been remarkable. During this time he has worked on both daily and weekly papers and in job offices, in practically every capacity from devil to foreman in the state of Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and California, and has owned and operated five different newspapers of his own.
Volume Nearly Doubled
At this writing we can truthfully say that our business has nearly doubled since last July. We will mention a few of the principal factors which helped to bring about this additional business.
Instead of being interested in ourselves and our own little world, we began to take interest in the other fellow. Not an issue of the paper was permitted to go out of the office without a writeup of some successful farmer or business man in our vicinity. Mr. Nelson, with others from the office, made special trips into the berry patches, gardens, orchards, etc., and talked with the owner on his own soil or at his place of business. Many people became so interested in telling us about their accomplishments that in many cases we were kept several hours listening to the story of how a portion of a man's life had been spent in improving conditions, producing wealth and discovering ideas for the good of himself and man kind. When it came time to return to the office our car was loaded down with the choice specimens to be displayed in our office window, and in nearly every case we were urged to take home products from the farm for our own personal use.
Paper's Improvement Noted
The demand for extra copies of our paper began to grow, and those who showed little interest before were now telling us how fast the paper was improving. As many as 25 extra copies have been ordered by a single person whose name appeared in the article, and in many cases eight- and ten-dollar print ing jobs, which were entirely new business, have been created.
Forgetting self and thinking of the other fellow, in our estimation, is one of the most important factors in the newspaper business. The interest we show in others will return, like the bread cast on the waters, in the form of the other fellow's interest in us.
The Coos Bay Times will issue an annual industrial edition about the middle of December.

HELPFUL COMPARISONS
How many of us have the habit of comparing our particular newspapers with others published in similar fields? Here is one of the first essentials of improvement. The comparison should be made frankly and without too many allowances for the peculiar difficulties which, we may suppose, the other fellow need not face. Perhaps his special problems are not known to us. Along about New Year’s is the traditional time for so called “good resolutions.” December, 1922, is a better time for a good resolve than January of 1923. However, January is probably better than February to put into practice an idea we may gain from perusal of the other fellow’s paper.
Everything depends on the spirit in which this is done. Little can be gained by the editor who is too ready to see how much better his paper is than that of a neighbor town. Even a poorer paper may have some one idea you want. Frequently someone presents a useful idea through Oregon Exchanges; the annual conferences and conventions do their part. But there is no substitute for keeping in close first-hand touch with other papers. Suddenly you see someone trying out an idea you were half afraid of. Or you come in contact with new ways of telling the old stuff, which still needs to be told but which is hard to keep interesting.
On the business end you meet new ideas in advertising. Some other paper is doing more with the farmers’ ads than you, perhaps. Some other is getting livelier copy than you have been trying for. Some other is typographically stronger. An open mind on these things is a long step toward success.
Setting of the dates for the next Oregon Newspaper Conference reminds us that the value of the conference is enhanced by suggestions made to the program committee by the newspaper men over the state. What subjects would you like to have discussed? What ones particularly emphasized? Preliminary announcements indicate a most inspiring and helpful conference. There is still room for more features, however, and the program committee will be glad to receive suggestions on what the editors and publishers want at the next meeting.
Elbert Bede’s most interesting article on his middle-western trip calls attention to the unusual prosperity enjoyed by the Oregon editors and publishers. Further confirmation of this fact may be obtained from a comparison of the newspaper directory list published in this issue with the list in the 1921-’22 Blue Book of the state. Within the two years since the collection of the data for the Blue Book, only three weekly papers of general circulation in the state of Oregon have suspended. This is a much better showing than in the previous two years, when casualties were heavy. On the other hand, the list of employees given indicates that many small papers are enlarging to the point where the editor and publisher does not find it necessary to be his own printer also, thus giving himself more time to develop his field.
Read George P. Cheney’s short article on fire insurance rates, on page 11 of this issue. Why would not that subject be worthy of a place on the program of the
next Newspaper conference? Page:Oregon Exchanges volume 5.pdf/220 Page:Oregon Exchanges volume 5.pdf/221 Page:Oregon Exchanges volume 5.pdf/222 Page:Oregon Exchanges volume 5.pdf/223 Newspaper Directory of Oregon
