4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2018 Forum: ‘We are told more, but we know less’ Continued from Page 1A Now, from his Grant County ranch, he is the editor and publisher of the weekly Malheur Enterprise. This year, he founded the Salem Reporter, a digital news service based in the state capital that has partnered with EO Media Group — the owner of The Daily Astorian — and Pamplin Media Group on expanded coverage of politics and government. Zaitz cited a number of reasons for the distrust, with both journal- ists and news consumers to blame. America is divided. As a result, news consumers often only trust outlets that affirm their “tribal” viewpoints, he said. “There’s a big difference between something that’s made up and reading something that’s true, but you just don’t like it and you declare that it is false,” Zaitz said. For journalists, much of the dis- trust is born out of economic hard- ship and the profession’s response. With less advertising and sub- scription revenue, many news out- lets have been forced to dramat- ically cut staff. Fewer stories are covered, and the ones that are can be rushed. Journalists rarely falsify or mis- lead intentionally. But some sto- ries have been given more attention than they deserve, while important ones fall by the wayside, Zaitz said. He referenced the New York Times’ reporting of a past incident in which Supreme Court Justice Brett Kava- naugh allegedly threw ice in some- one’s face at a bar while in college. “The press clearly has its prob- lems,” Zaitz said. “We are told more, but we know less.” So what can be done? The news-thirsty public must invest in local journalism, both financially and by informing local outlets about crucial stories they may be missing, Zaitz said. For its part, the press can re-educate peo- ple about its mission of truth, integ- rity and fairness. “For far too long, publishers, editors, reporters, TV newscasters, have just assumed that each one of you knows that we operate with this framework of ethics and stan- dards,” Zaitz said. “We’re not in the assumption business. If we’re going to tell you the truth about what’s going on in the community, we need to tell you the truth about what motivates us and share that with you.” W EDNESDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM Private developers donate 111 acres By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian MANZANITA — In its larg- est land acquisition ever, the Lower Nehalem Community Trust now owns 111 acres of forestland on the south slope of Neahkahnie Mountain for conservation. The property, known as “The Headwaters,” is connected to the southern edge of Oswald West State Park and runs nearly a mile south. The area holds ecological signifi- cance both for its large, mixed-age timber and for the tributaries that feed into the Neahkahnie Creek watershed below, the land trust said. “We’re pretty excited. The fact the community gets to have community forestland like this is a big deal for us,” Doug Firstbrook, a board mem- ber for the land trust, said. The acquisition began last sum- mer when Firstbrook heard about 181 acres near Neahkahnie Moun- tain was going to be logged. He got ahold of plans published by the Ore- gon Department of Forestry and con- tacted the local point person who rep- resented the landowners, which were two California-based development companies: Seventeen Enterprises LLC and Pacific Land Conservation LLC. Firstbrook told the representative he was concerned about how a log- ging operation would affect properties the land trust had worked to restore downstream, including a marsh resto- ration project above Neahkahnie Lake and Alder Creek Farm, a community garden and ethnobotanical trail. The companies took a tour with Firstbrook to look at areas of concern, but ultimately logged about 30 acres of the property later that summer. About a year later, Firstbrook heard again from the development compa- nies, but this time they asked if the trust would be interested in acquiring the land for conservation. “They needed a mechanism for a tax write-off and were looking for a conservation group,” Firstbrook said. “My name came up because of the tour we took before.” In September, the development companies donated 111 acres — along with about $22,000 for replant- ing and maintenance costs — to the land trust. The companies still own the other 70 acres, which are zoned residential, for future development, Firstbrook said. “We’re pleased it happened so quickly. Often these kinds of proj- ects can take an inordinate amount of time,” he said. In addition to its conservation value, the land is also significant due to its proximity to one of Oregon’s largest state parks. The land trust is in conversations with Connie Soper, a trail advocate working with Man- zanita to extend the existing Neah- kahnie Hiking Trail. Doing so would help connect a gap in the Oregon Coast Trail, which now routes hik- ers out onto U.S. Highway 101 before reconnecting at Manzanita Beach. Firstbrook said the land trust has to consider whether it has enough to resources to take on the responsibil- ities of ongoing trail maintenance, as well as look into whether the trail would have any negative impacts. Trail or not, the land trust consid- ers the donation as a conservation win. “We feel any significant amount of ground we can protect, any trees we can see grow … is an imperative eco- logical service to provide to the pub- lic,” he said.
