The News-Review is the daily newspaper for Douglas County. The county stretches from the Pacific Ocean at Reedsport very nearly to Crater Lake National Park in the Cascade Mountains and is about the size of the state of Connecticut.
The News-Review is part of Lotus Media Group, locally owned media company. The News-Review prides itself on being a community-oriented newspaper. The print product and online website are market-leading providers of breaking news, investigative exposes, and opinion. The News-Review is among the oldest businesses in the state of Oregon, but it has been an early adopter of technology including an early word processing system. The newspapers website, now nrtoday.com, was the first newspaper to go online in Oregon. The newspaper is regularly recognized for editorial, advertising, and printing excellence at state and regional competitions.
