Internet News from an Inner Perspective

Want to know what it's really like to run a news site for five years?

(SALEM, Ore.) - If journalists hungry for a change could see what an average day is like for me, they would be more than intrigued. Over the course of five years I have gathered so many news contacts that I literally can't keep up some days.

So I move forward and try to keep the pace, taking in email that ranges from contributions from our regular team of writers, to press releases from the widest variety of sources imaginable. Our writers send stories that address all kinds of subjects, and they bring a flavor to the site that no press release ever could.

Salem-News.com blazes the trail for "New Media" and wants you to come along.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A news group in Oregon has been on a path toward reinventing the way news is presented in the United States for the past five years. Salem-News.com is staffed by a team of volunteer writers and every one has invested a great deal of time, money and labor, to get to this point.
