Spokesman Review

United StatesSpokane, Washington, United StatesEnglish

Serving as the primary source of news for the Inland Northwest, this long-standing publication chronicles regional issues with a legacy dating back to the late 19th century. It is widely recognized for its independent editorial voice and comprehensive coverage of politics, community affairs, and local sports across Eastern Washington and North Idaho.

MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN WASHINGTON

Pacific Northwest print media reflects a stark divide between heavily consolidated suburban weeklies and historically independent metropolitan dailies. The Seattle Times stands out as a rare, locally family-owned broadsheet boasting the highest circulation in the region, while The Spokesman-Review dominates the eastern half of the territory under long-standing Cowles Company ownership. Along the primary western highway corridor, the national chain McClatchy operates several vital mid-sized dailies, specifically the Tacoma News Tribune, The Olympian, and the Bellingham Herald. The metropolitan areas also sustain a notable alternative press tradition, anchored by the biweekly publication The Stranger.
