The Brownsville Times:
A Revival Gaining Momentum

Seven issues in, and the spirit of The Brownsville Times is stronger than ever.

After a brief pause in 2024, one of Oregon’s oldest newspapers has returned — not just as a publication, but as a community-powered movement. What began as a bold effort to preserve Brownsville’s local voice has quickly grown into a vibrant weekly tradition once again.

This isn’t just a revival. It’s a testament to what’s possible when neighbors, writers, historians, advertisers, and volunteers come together with a shared purpose. The Brownsville Times is now packed each week with hometown stories, school news, business highlights, event coverage, historical retrospectives, and fresh commentary — all created by people who know and love this community.

Whether you’re turning the pages in print or reading online, you’re part of something meaningful. Thank you for helping write the next chapter of The Brownsville Times — and it’s only just beginning.
