About The
Portland Observer:
In 1989, Joyce Washington purchased the
Portland Observer, a northeast Portland
weekly newspaper. The paper’s corporate
name, Cory Publishing commemorated Cory
Washington’s contribution to the paper. He
was shot to death following a basketball-game
dispute in Peninsula Park in 1991. After Joyce’s
passing in March of 1996 her son Charles
Washington steped up and became publisher.
He was a fierce advocate, a tireless worker,
and an uncompromising humanitarian. Charles
Washington passed away in December 2012.
Their legacies live on through the newspaper
and surviving family members. Mark and
Rakeem Washington oversee the daily
operations of the paper and are heavily involved
in supporting the youth of Portland, just as
Joyce and Charles Washington did for decades.
