History

The organization was established as the Oregon Press Association in 1887. It was renamed the Oregon State Editorial Association in 1909, and adopted its current name in 1936. [3] It has about 80 member newspapers plus additional associate member and collegiate member newspapers as of 2014. [4]

In 2025, ONPA expanded its statewide newspaper contest to include newspapers in Idaho and Washington state, and the competition's name was changed to the Pacific NW News Publishing Contest. [5]

Mission

Besides providing advertising distribution, it also provides aggregation of public notices and other information from its member newspapers, [6] including state and city calls for bids, changes in municipal code, foreclosures, estate claims, forfeited property, probate, summons, and similar information. [7]

It also may sponsor and organize political debates, such as the 2014 governor candidates' debate. [8]
