Rogue Messenger
Launched in 2014, the Rogue Valley Messenger started at a time when people said that newspapers are dead.
We are proud to prove them wrong.
We appreciate the interest and enthusiasm that Rogue Valley residents have expressed in what we have to say, and to write.
We see ourselves as community-builders—providing important information and insights about the people and politics, and culture and curiosity of southern Oregon.
We strive to publish fun, smart and engaging articles, from music and food reviews, to investigative stories that ask tough questions, and consider the successes and failures of local government agencies.
We try to provide as much news, entertainment and information that we can pack into each issue, and address the many aspects that make life in southern Oregon exciting, with regular columns like:
“Rogue Sounds,” a listen to local bands;
“Drink Local” sampling local beers, wines and cocktails;
“Public Profile,” a Q&A with civic leaders;
“Go Here,” suggestions for nearby outdoor activities;
“Mind Your Business,” a profile of a regional entrepreneur; and,
“Art Watch,” a consideration of a gallery or artist.
And, of course, every issue hosts the region’s most comprehensive listing of events and cultural happenings, to point you in whatever direction.
We distribute our newspapers every other week throughout the Rogue Valley, from Ashland to Grants Pass, and many points in the Applegate Valley and Cave Junction, and those in-between.
