From a story on Inside Higher Ed by Peter Laufer headlined “A Plan to Save the Daily Paper”:

Travel with me to my not atypical college town, Eugene, Ore., where I’m privileged to labor as a professor at our University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication. Ours is a fast-growing city of some 175,000 people, straddling the sparkling Willamette River. We’re a cultural, political and economic powerhouse sporting big-city accoutrements such as a magnificent hall for our symphony, a heated mix of blue and red politics, and a thriving business sector producing world-class commodities ranging from fine pinot noir to state-of-the-art electric bicycles. All that minus most typical big-city woes.
