Learn the history of the Bend community's newspaper, the people who made it happen and what makes the legacy of The Bulletin unique in Oregon journalism.
James L. Crowell
Crowell, a Bend resident since 1940, is uniquely qualified to speak about the history of The Bulletin. After earning his bachelor’s degree from University of Oregon, he returned to Bend to serve as a photographer and sport reporter for The Bulletin. After stints at both the LaGrande Observer and The Oregonian he returned to University of Oregon where he earned his master’s degree in Journalism. His master’s thesis was a biography of George Palmer Putnam, the first editor/publisher of The Bulletin as a daily newspaper, which he eventually published, Frontier Publisher (Deschutes Historical Society, 2008). A former assistant to the president of Central Oregon Community College, Jim is the author of four plays (all four produced) that have been staged in San Francisco, Denver, Eugene, and Bend.
