Reviving The Brownsville Times: A Bold Community Comeback

The Brownsville Times, Oregon’s oldest continuously operating newspaper, is roaring back to life thanks to a passionate grassroots movement. At a time when many small-town papers are folding, Brownsville is flipping the script — rallying together to save a vital piece of its identity and history.

This is more than a revival — it’s a full-force community comeback. Local residents, historians, writers, and volunteers have rolled up their sleeves to relaunch The Times as a dynamic, reader-driven publication. Together, they’re building something bold: a weekly paper packed with local news, school stories, events, business highlights, and inspiring features that reflect the true spirit of Brownsville.

Historical photos and curated retrospectives will connect readers to the town’s rich past, while fresh voices bring new life to its pages. An impressive team of local writers — seasoned journalists and emerging talents alike — have already begun crafting original content that informs, entertains, and strengthens community bonds.

This isn’t just a newspaper — it’s a movement. A symbol of what a town can achieve when it bands together with heart and purpose.

The first issue of the revitalized Brownsville Times hits mailboxes the first week of June 2025, with both print and digital editions available. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this historic return — The Times is back, and it’s better than ever.
