Your life is busy. Your time is valuable.

Our team of reporters, photographers and editors is locally based. We live and work here just like you, and we know the importance of a robust local newspaper.
So why should you subscribe to the Statesman Journal? Here are five of many reasons:
Subscriber-exclusive stories
Subscribers to the Statesman Journal have access to subscriber-exclusive stories. Recent stories have included a look at the impact of cities updating their rules restricting homeless camping, news of when Bentley's Grill will reopen downtown, Mid-Valley baseball teams to watch in the OSAA playoffs, and an older favorite on a secret Salem museum housing one of the world's largest muscle car collections.
