The Willamette Valley
Observer, Eugene’s "alter
native news magazine”
since 1975, has gone the way
of The Washington Star and
The Philadelphia Bulletin —
belly up
Ken Doctor, editor and pub
lisher of the Observer, said
Wednesday that the paper
"got caught in the same
squeeze” as other folding
Eugene businesses Falling
revenues caused by poor
advertising sales were the
main reason for shutting
down, Doctor said
In the seven and a half years
it has been in business, 331
issues of the Observer have
been published The last issue
made it to the newsstands
Wednesday.
No one has offered to buy
the paper. Doctor said "We re
just going to liquidate and pay
off our debts ”
After the Observer shed its
non-profit status in 1977 and
began publishing weekly
instead of biweekly, financial
problems mounted. "By sheer
will and stamina we kept it go
ing,” Doctor said
But now his stamina has run
out, he said
“It’s that combined with the
The only editor the Willamette Valley Observer has ever had. Ken
Doctor is now a publisher without a paper
frustration of putting out a
smaller product. It's not the
product we want,” he said
The Observer started as "a
community effort” in 1974,
with a core of about 15
workers, Doctor said It incor
porated as a non profit
company and published its
first issue Jan 5, 1975, relying
on advertising and volunteer
work to keep going
In a "post mortem” pub
lished in the final edition, Doc
tor wrote: “February. 1980
marked the beginning of the
nightmare, and it's been the
kind of bad dream you keep
waking up from, trying to
shake and then experience
again and again, until you
awaken, convinced that
sleepless wakefulness is
better the bad dream
