Description
This year, 2024, is a big political and election year, and Oregon faces many serious and complex issues. The Oregonian/OregonLive Editorial Board meets regularly to talk about significant issues where the newspaper as a local institution might weigh in.
Editorials are written by Opinion Editor Helen Jung and appear on the Opinion pages. The opinions of the editorial board are independent of the news operation and the reporters in the newsroom work independently from the board.
Editor Therese Bottomly speaks with Jung and Managing Editor Laura Gunderson, who oversees areas such as politics and business, about the goal of editorials. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the board’s process.
Among the topics:
--How the candidate endorsement process works. The board now videotapes endorsement interviews, which are held jointly, for publication on OregonLive.
--What Jung looks for in local op-eds, commentary articles written by community members.
--What is on the board’s radar for 2024, as laid out in this agenda-setting editorial.
