Talk:Portland Alliance

Citations needed
A couple statements currently cite the Portland Alliance website, but need additional citations from independent sources. They are the circulation of 22,000, and the "award-winning series on health care and homelessness in the 1990s". I was unable to find any sources outside the Portland Alliance website for these two facts in my lengthy search a few months ago; anyone know any possible leads? -kotra (talk) 20:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Concerning the circulation, I think it may be possible to find another source. The Oregonian cites an independent source, for example (though the Oregonian is many times larger than the Alliance, so that may not be a good comparison). -kotra (talk) 20:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I found a few sources: 21,000, 8,000, 8,000
 * The second two are probably inadmissible, as editorials, whereas I think the first may qualify as a reliable source, at least in conjunction with the Alliance website citation. Unfortunately though, the two editorials confirmed my suspicion that the "22,000" figure is greatly disputed (unless the paper somehow nearly tripled its readership in a couple years). I've added the first citation, but the WW editorials make me uneasy... -kotra (talk) 21:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Those are really interesting. How did you find them?  Did you search Google Books separately and the Willamette Week separately?  (I'm interested in helping with citations and so it's a web research question.)  Thanks again for looking at this article so much - it's really helping me.

 * Sorry for the slow response. I did a normal Google search for "Portland Alliance" circulation (this). Your results may vary (if you're logged into a Google account, it will personalize the result ranking). Other places I use to find sources are Google News, Google Books, Google Scholar, newspapers' websites directly, or WorldCat. -kotra (talk) 03:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
