One winter morning this year, @noellecrombie and I drove together to a funeral home in Gresham to attend a memorial service for a young man neither of us had ever met.

It is fitting that our last story in our series on the decline in Oregon students choosing to go straight to college from high school ran today in @Oregonian, on the final day of this 2023-2024 school year, w/ stunning photos by @bethnakamura. 🧵 https://t.co/k0Qx1x9tug

As our 2022 series on Rosemary Anderson High School’s Rockwood campus came to a close, I promised Duke Mitchell I would return to report on his graduation. Such a privilege to get to know this young man, captured so well by @bethnakamura.

I'm so happy to finally unveil a series of stories I've been chipping away at for the last six months + amazing photography by @bethnakamura. Oregon high school graduates are opting out of higher ed. That's a problem for equity and the economy. https://t.co/EVHpki4Y8y

Penelope Vega messaged “Dr.Skripts503″ on Telegram, “you have oxy?” A week later, Julie Vega found her 17-yr-old daughter unresponsive in her bed. Months later, a 19-year-old was led before a federal judge on his first charge as an adult in her death https://t.co/0wI5PChPsr

Excited to be bringing these stories to the forefront with @DiscoveryID and @hbomax! #LostWomenOfHighway20

Also for the first time in memory did not link to my twitter at the end of my story so waning days I guess. Posting here out of like weird sad nostalgia

Well I guess I’m officially very definitely not in New York anymore

A medley of public policy, social forces & economics play into Portland’s plight: a downtown depleted by still-empty offices, scarce affordable housing and cheap & plentiful fentanyl. Add to the mix Measure 110. w/@bethnakamura

In the latest installment of The Oregonian’s series scrutinizing its racist legacy, the newsroom revisited one of the most profound changes in Portland’s racial makeup: The arrival of 20k Black people during WWII and a decades-long effort that pushed them out of Albina. (1/4)

"Sharon Gary-Smith’s childhood home at 1835 N. Benton Ave. disappeared without a word in The Oregonian." How The Oregonian masked the destruction of Albina with the shiny gloss of progress. Story @robwdavis. Photos @bethnakamura. Design @mfriesen. https://t.co/e1ADrkO6Mg

#WorldPressFreedomDay: We won’t let them take our voices away. Women and non-binary journalists disproportionately face threats, from stigmatization to sexist hate speech, trolling, physical assault, rape, and even murder. But we stand strong together.

Longtime Portlander Jeanne Shioshi, who experienced forced relocation to prison camp during WWII, turns 100
