PDXS was a biweekly tabloid newspaper in Portland, Oregon from the early 1990s until the early 2000s. Founded by former Willamette Week reporter Jim Redden, 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]
