The Rogue River Press is a weekly newspaper serving the southern part of the U.S. state of Oregon, established in 1915.[1] It is published in Jackson County and circulates about 1,630 newspapers[2] to Rogue River, Gold Hill, Wimer, and the Evans Valley.[3] It is a venue for reaching the public, though its selection over the larger Mail Tribune for publishing foreclosure notices in 2012 was part of an effort that met with criticism.[4]

History

The Press was founded in 1915.[2] Hal Wood owned the paper for about two years until selling it to Umpqua Free Press, Inc.[5] The paper has been owned by Valley Pride Publications since 1994, and its publisher is Teresa Pearson.[3][1][6]
