The Wilsonville Spokesman is the local weekly newspaper in Wilsonville, Oregon, United States. Published on Wednesdays,[2] the paper is owned by Pamplin Media Group, which owns other local newspapers in Oregon such as The Newberg Graphic and The Canby Herald.
The Valley Publishing Company launched the Wilsonville Times in 1972. It was a free weekly newspaper delivered to 4,600 residents in Wilsonville, Oregon.[3] The Times folded in 1984 due to it being an unsuccessful business venture for its entire existence.[4] The following year Thomas Russ Dillon, who worked at Eagle Newspapers as publisher of the Canby Herald, founded a paper to replace the Times called the Wilsonville Spokesman.[5] The paper was originally a combined edition titled the Canby Herald & Wilsonville Spokesman. The two papers were separated after a year.[6] In January 2013, Eagle Newspapers sold the Spokesman to Pamplin Media Group.[7][8] Robert B. Pamplin Jr. sold the company in June 2024 to Carpenter Media Group.[9]
