Hoodview News, a 40-page, full-color newspaper distributed in Clackamas County, seems like a valuable source of community news at first glance. However, a closer look reveals that the newspaper is less about unbiased journalism and more about pushing ultra-conservative views on topics like transgender rights, critical race theory, and climate change. Mike Wiley, a longtime political operative with a history of anti-LGBTQ activism, is behind the newspaper. Despite Wiley’s past with the Oregon Citizens Alliance, a group known for pushing anti-LGBTQ measures, he now uses Hoodview News to spread his transphobic worldview.

As local newspapers in Oregon continue to disappear, Hoodview News positions itself as a community newspaper trying to inform the public. However, critics argue that the publication is promoting propaganda and fearmongering while cloaked in the guise of journalism. Anti-LGBTQ organizations have specifically targeted Clackamas County, where Hoodview News is distributed, resulting in events like the cancellation of the Molalla Pride festival due to violent threats.

While some readers appreciate Hoodview News for covering local events, others are pushing back against its conservative and divisive content. As media outlets across the state struggle, Hoodview News remains one of the few newspapers mailed directly to residents in Clackamas County. Despite controversy surrounding its publisher’s views, local businesses like car dealerships continue to advertise in the newspaper to reach the community.formedURLException This article originally appeared on Oregon Public Broadcasting and highlights the complexities surrounding Hoodview News and its impact on the community.
