Nicole Vulcan became Editor of the Source in 2016 and was promoted to Editor in Chief in 2024, managing the Editorial Board and the news team's many investigative projects. She's also at work on her debut book of journalistic non-fiction, titled "Self Medication," which traces Oregon's drug decriminalization efforts in the 21st Century, and tells a parallel tale of her own family’s losses from fentanyl addiction in the age of Measure 110. With all of that on her plate, send snacks. Catch up with the adventures at her book's Substack, called Self Medication.

Television personalities come and go — but in Central Oregon, one guy has enough name recognition to have 1. A slogan he’s well known for, and 2., a stack of “Best Of” awards, after winning Best TV Personality over 20 times in the Source Weekly’s annual readers’ poll. Bob Shaw spent four years in the […]

And while we know you’re gearing up to cast your ballot and nominate some awesome winners in our annual Best of Central Oregon readers’ poll, it never hurts to refresh your memory about who’s won in past years… […]

The east-Bend complex near the hospital on NE Cushing Drive already has some hot spots for food and drink, including Sunriver Brewing, Hablo Tacos and Lone Pine Coffee, to name a few.
