Overview
The Oregonian in Portland, published online as OregonLive, is Oregon's largest newspaper by circulation and the main paper for the Capitol in Salem and the Multnomah County courts. The Register-Guard in Eugene, the Statesman Journal in Salem, the Bulletin in Bend, the East Oregonian in Pendleton, the Daily Astorian, the Herald and News in Klamath Falls, the Corvallis Gazette-Times, the Albany Democrat-Herald and the Grants Pass Daily Courier cover their regions, and the Oregon Capital Chronicle covers state government online. Medford lost its daily when the Mail Tribune closed in 2023, and the Rogue Valley Times now covers Jackson County.
Oregon newspapers carry the legal notices state law requires for trustee's sales, estates and government actions, publish obituaries for 36 counties, and hold court coverage that pairs with Oregon eCourt case information.
