The St. Johns Review is the oldest extant neighborhood newspaper in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] It is circulated monthly throughout 13 neighborhoods in North Portland.[2]

History

[edit]

Its first issue was published on November 11, 1904 by publisher J.C. Crome.[3] Gayla Patton ran the paper for 26 years until selling it to Richard Colvin on December 30, 2022. The newspaper went on hiatus in June 2024 after Colvin was arrested for threatening a woman. As of July, Colvin was in the process of transferring ownership to the paper's director Anisha Scanlon.[2]
