Looking for media coverage of the #PDX #HandsOff protests yesterday, the most comprehensive seems to be from the local TV news stations ([KATU2](https://katu.com/news/local/nationwide-protests-erupt-against-trump-tariffs-and-policies), [KOIN6](https://www.koin.com/news/protests/hands-off-protests-oregon-washington-040525/), [KGW8](https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/protests/hands-off-trump-musk-protest-portland-waterfront/283-74f242cc-242f-40f8-b5e1-3a1ad0ebf415), [FOX12](https://www.kptv.com/2025/04/06/thousands-gather-hands-off-rallies-across-portland-area/)), while most newspapers are lagging or silent. [Oregon Public Broadcasting](https://www.opb.org/article/2025/04/05/hands-off-protests-oregon-washington/), the [Portland Tribune](https://www.portlandtribune.com/news/huge-crowd-protests-trump-musk-in-portland/article_75cc5303-51f9-4f2f-94f2-9b28dce1d965.html), and the [Oregon Capital Chronicle](https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/04/05/across-oregon-thousands-join-hands-off-protests-against-trump-musk-and/) had full stories as well. But the biggest newspaper here, [The Oregonian](https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2025/04/thousands-in-portland-protest-trumps-policies-weve-been-very-ready-to-get-out-and-march.html), mostly live-blogged street closures and shared reports from two small towns around the state. The Portland Mercury and Willamette Week have nothing yet; the Mercury reported on last weekend's much smaller Tesla Takedown protest several days later, so maybe they'll get around to this one eventually. Willamette Week seems to be not covering protests at all though. Special mention to [Jonathan Maus](https://bikeportland.org/2025/04/05/immense-crowd-at-anti-trump-hands-off-rally-and-march-393865), the solo journalist behind bikeportland.org, who published the collection of photos he took while he was (naturally) biking around the march.
