Underscore News

Underscore News produces collaborative journalism framed by justice to promote civic engagement and a fair-minded society. Founded in 2019 as an independent nonprofit, Underscore exclusively covers issues that impact Indigenous communities in Oregon and Washington through a twofold vision of providing Native communities with access to critical news while also delivering that news to non-Native audiences, facilitating a deeper understanding of Indigenous people and issues. 

In doing so, we have carved out a unique position in the growing national landscape of emerging news organizations and models, and we are playing a lead role in elevating Indigenous voices — through authentic and nuanced representation — in the broader public dialogue and policy discussions.
