If you live in the Portland, OR area and you are in or like observing the local media scene, you may have seen the blog
PDX Media Insider. It was a really fun blog--newsy, gossipy, and everyone in the biz (and a lot of ex-biz folks like me) hung out there.
The anonymous, eponymous PDX Media Insider "retired" last week, in no small part I think because his bosses were triangulating in on him (assuming it's a him). A couple of blogs have popped up hoping to keep the magic going, and one of them is mine.
Oregon Media Insider is for the entire state now, not just Portland. It's for anyone who watches, listens or reads, and especially for the folks who report, shoot, cut, direct, anchor, write and otherwise toil in the bowels of the various newsrooms of Oregon.
Come check it out, I would love some Kossack local media criticism:

Me? I'm a former insider, happily outside since 1992. :)
