The Portland Mercury

Like the city it serves, the Portland Mercury is decidedly creative and independent. Founded in 2000 as a sister publication to Seattle’s The Stranger, the Mercury offers a unique point of view that Portland, Oregon trusts and relies on.  Reaching outgoing, fun-loving, and politically active young urbanites, the Mercury differentiates itself from the local media pack with brash, irreverent wit and insightful investigative reports. Bright, sometimes bruising, and undeniably funny, the Mercury details local music, arts, and politics with passion and authority.
