The Outlook is a newspaper published in Gresham, Oregon, a suburb of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. It was founded in 1911,[2] [3] and is owned by the Pamplin Media Group.

History

The newspaper was named the Gresham Outlook from 1911 to 1991 and was published by H. L. St. Clair,[4] who incorporated the business as the Outlook Publishing Company in 1917. The paper was renamed simply The Outlook in 1991.[5]

The newspaper was purchased in 1960 by Lee Irwin and Walt Taylor,[6] and Irwin was its publisher from 1960 to 1982.[7] He was followed by Robert Caldwell for a relatively short period, with Steven J. Clark being named publisher effective April 4, 1983.[8]

Irwin and Taylor sold the Gresham Outlook in 1977 to the Democrat-Herald Publishing Co., which published the Albany Democrat-Herald.[9] Capital Cities purchased the company in 1980,[10] which itself was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 1995.[11] Disney sold its Oregon newspapers to Lee Enterprises in 1997,[12] and three years later Lee sold The Outlook to Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. in 2000.[13]
