Who, What , Where, and Why

ThePortlander, is a web application that allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a news article it will be placed in the area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page.With all of the access to news all of us have we thought it would be nice to pull all of it into one place where every Portlander can become his or her own journalist. For too long we as Portlanders have had to be subjected to the ramblings of four local news stations, with antique websites which are more Ad than news. Which sadley and archaically report the same thing time after time. The founders felt that when you turn the news on or open the paper you want to read relevent news that means the most to those who its ment for. Make ThePortlander what you want and do everything you can to find and submit news thats not only about our great city but also about our great citizens.
