PDXS

PDXS

PDXS was a biweekly tabloid newspaper in Portland, Oregon from the early 1990s until the early 2000s. It was founded by Jim Redden, a reporter formerly with Willamette Week and subsequently with the Portland Tribune, and his brother Bill, a public defender. PDXS focused on arts and culture, as well as news coverage (typically exposé journalism and conspiracy theory.)

Redden wrote a serial article entitled "The Larry Hurwitz Story" that appeared in 23 issues, in which he uncovered the mystery surrounding a previously-unsolved 1990 murder. Largely as a result of Redden's investigative work, Hurwitz was arrested in 1998 on tax evasion charges, and subsequently pleaded no contest to murder, receiving a 12 year sentence.[1]

Novelist Katherine Dunn contributed a regular boxing column, which typically featured news about local matches. Following boxer Mike Tyson's controversial match with Evander Holyfield, however, Dunn wrote a piece that bucked conventional opinion, contending that Holyfield provoked Tyson with illegal head butts.[2][3][4]
