I love the Oregonian for the following, in no particular order:

1. Analysis of state-wide political races and ballot measures. There's really nowhere else to get this.

2. The Oregonian's main editorials, which are thoughtful and give me important information to help me understand important issues

3. Columnists, like Thomas Friedman

4. Reviews and articles about cultural events, such as the opera, first Thursday, theater, etc.

5. In-depth articles on important issues, such as the fate of salmon, taking down of dams, etc.

And I love being able to take the paper with me in the car, on the airplane or to bed.

It serves a very important function!
