Paul Neevel has shot more than 600 portraits over the past 12 years for the Weekly's "Happening People" feature, and now some of the best are on display at the Jacobs Gallery in Eugene. The 68-year-old Neevel "has been taking pictures for the Weekly since 1989, in the days when the alternative newspaper was called What's Happening," the Register-Guard reports. "This has got to be the best job in the world," Neevel says of doing the "Happening People" feature. "I get to visit these interesting people, and they are willing to sit with me and tell me their whole life stories.”

The Rake, which was founded in 2002 by Tom Bartel and Kris Henning, announced this week that the March issue will be its last, citing declining print advertising revenue, the Star Tribune reports. The magazine will continue as a web operation, and 15 of its 16 full-time employees will be laid off. "Things have changed radically in the last six years, and I think it's going to get worse long before it gets better," Bartel says. "It's too expensive to produce journalism and then have Google come along and take all your advertising."
