The Northwest salmon crisis has spawned a $150-a-year
journal devoted, says its editor, to “the most significant
environmental restoration effort ever undertaken in the United
States.” Bill Crampton, a fourth-generation Oregonian and former
newspaper editor, started the Northwest Salmon Recovery Report in
February to provide an independent voice on regional salmon issues.
Crampton, who publishes the 15-page newsletter every three weeks,
says he hopes to attract government officials, politicians,
farmers, environmental groups and scientists. “We are trying to
fill a niche,” Crampton says. “The mainstream press cannot cover
(this issue) as intensively as we can.” For more information, call
