We truly appreciate our paid subscribers at The Western Edge because we are a bootstrapped media organization, and we simply could not do our reporting without you. So, we wanted to offer a bonus to those subscribers!

Our new video series, Notes from the Edge, will offer behind-the-scenes looks at the reporting we do, talking about details that couldn’t make it into the story. For our inaugural episode, we are talking about our March feature, “The Shady Cop Who Haunts Halloweentown.”

We share how we first came across Police Chief Brian Greenway while reporting on the second season of the podcast Hush and what the political turmoil in St. Helens, Oregon, tells us more broadly about cultures of grievance.
