Mission Statement

sagacity logo

Smart. Authoritative. Entertaining. With a bold design, eye-catching photography, and an editorial voice that’s at once witty and in-the-know, Portland Monthly is our city's indispensable news, culture, and lifestyle magazine. From newsmakers to tastemakers, we canvas Oregon’s cultural capital for the people and trends that are changing the way we eat, play, dress, and think. Every month, in every issue, we deliver our signature mix of in-depth news stories, provocative essays, and essential guides to the best of the city. Our singular goal? To inspire our readers to get out and explore the vibrant and rapidly growing metropolis they call home.

Portland Monthly is published by SagaCity Media Inc, a multimedia company with magazines constituting its core business. In addition to our proprietary titles, we maintain a thriving custom media and Web business. Our goal as a local media company is to create community by providing an authoritative voice and a public forum for the metropolitan areas of Seattle and Portland as well as special interest groups throughout the Northwest, from tourism to bridal and from design to golf. We are also dedicated to effecting positive change within our markets through our fundraising efforts and in-kind donations for the nonprofit community.
