An innovative news source providing accurate in-depth and enterprising local coverage online is coming to Salem in September.
Salem Reporter, locally owned and managed, will provide readers a mix of investigative reports, clear and compelling coverage of local government, and insights into the people who hold power in the Salem community. The site fills an important gap in an area where news coverage has been on the decline for several years.
Salem Reporter is poised to be a national leader in the industry by providing high-quality news online to paying subscribers. This mix is projected to make Salem Reporter LLC a profitable, growing business at a time media organizations across the country are reducing staff and news coverage. Salem Reporter intends to become a model for how locally-based news organizations can thrive in service to their communities.
The news site at www.salemreporter.com is scheduled to begin delivering news on Monday, Sept. 17.
