History
Two former environment reporters for The Oregonian have been the main force behind Cascadia Times since it launched its first issue in March 1995. Kathie Durbin and Paul Koberstein helped initiate and develop The Oregonian’s award-winning coverage of the Northwest and its natural resources in the 1980s. They brought to Cascadia Times a reputation for tough, thoughtful investigative journalism and a desire to educate the public about the continuing changes affecting the region’s economy, communities and environment.
In 1996, TheUtne Reader named Cascadia Times as among the most outstanding new publications in the country. In its first year, Cascadia Times was one of the first publications to report on new scientific findings linking chemicals in the environment to reproductive problems in humans. Other indepth stories that first year reported on the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii), the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and invasive species.
In 1997 and 1998, Cascadia Times investigated poor mining practices causing severe degradation of the Northwest’s rivers. The June 1997 "Special Mining Issue" was distributed to 33,000 households throughout the region, our largest single press run to date. Our May 1998 expose of hazardous urban air pollution led directly to a decision by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to force oil companies to install pollution control equipment – virtually eliminating the equivalent of a major oil refinery’s emissions from the Portland air
