2007 marked the inception of Oregon-News, a platform dedicated to providing comprehensive and timely news coverage of Oregon’s diverse landscapes, communities, and events. Our journey began with a small team of journalists and enthusiasts committed to filling a critical information gap on the internet—a gap that left many without access to accurate, locally relevant news.
Over the years, Oregon-News has grown from a nascent blog into a respected news website. Our milestones include expanding our coverage, diversifying our content, and developing a robust platform that has become a trusted source for Oregonians and those interested in the state’s affairs. Significant achievements along the way have included groundbreaking investigative pieces, recognition from industry peers, and a steadily growing readership.
Our purpose is to inform, engage, and empower our audience by delivering unbiased news and insightful analysis. We are guided by core values of integrity, fairness, and accountability, ensuring that our reporting upholds the highest journalistic standards. Our mission is to be the leading source of news for Oregon, fostering an informed citizenry that is actively involved in shaping the state’s future.
The founding of Oregon-News was motivated by a keen awareness of a void in online news coverage specific to Oregon. We recognized that residents and interested parties alike were underserved by mainstream media, leading to a misalignment between public interest and news dissemination. Our commitment to addressing this information gap has led us to consistently prioritize local stories, diverse perspectives, and accurate reporting.
Our team comprises seasoned journalists, dedicated editors, savvy social media managers, and support staff who are all deeply rooted in the culture and communities of Oregon. The team is as follows:
