The Columbian
The Columbian is a daily newspaper for Vancouver, Washington, and Clark County, Washington. The paper was published for its first decade (1890-1900) as a four-page daily that was meant as a counterweight to the local Republican newspaper "The Independent". Printer Tom Carolan began publication of "The Vancouver Columbian" on October 10, 1890. It successfully hedged out daily competition, such as the former Independent, to become the sole daily in the city today. A former weekly "The Sun" which published for 39 years prior to going daily; was absorbed by the "Columbian" and for a time the paper was published as "The Vancouver Columbian and the Sun". It has been owned by the Campbell family since 1921; current president and publisher Ben Campbell is the fourth generation of the family to run the paper. It is the newspaper of record for both Vancouver and Washougal.

Members of "The Columbian"s editorial board are Scott Campbell, Jody Campbell, Ben Campbell, Craig Brown and Greg Jayne.
