Data centers are everywhere (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Data centers are at the heart of heated conversations in communities around the country, and Oregon is no exception. These facilities store and process data that make all kinds of connectivity possible — posting updates to social media, streaming movies and TV shows, online banking, telehealth, and of course, artificial intelligence. There are about 125 data centers in Oregon. The AI boom has rapidly increased the demand for this infrastructure. And with that has come increased awareness about t
Oregon’s tattoo culture is older than Oregon itself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The history of tattoos dates back thousands of years. In the Northwest, people have been getting tattooed since long before Oregon even existed.

Corrina Campbell, 32, visits the food bank twice a week, and says feeding her two kids means that on some nights she goes to sleep hungry. The high cost of groceries and the fe
Remembering the explorer named York (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When people think about the Lewis & Clark expedition, they probably think about Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and maybe Sacagawea. But there’s one member of the Corps of Discovery who isn’t as famous: York. York was an enslaved Black man who was just as essential to the success of the expedition as anyone else, but didn’t receive credit for his work afterwards. We dive into York’s story and remember one who may have been overlooked in American history. You can learn more by watching the Oregon
