Since the first edition of the Statesman Journal’s predecessors rolled off the press more than 150 years ago, their mission has remained the same: to be the mid-Willamette Valley’s primary source for local news and advertising information. The Statesman Journal is the largest news-gathering organization in the mid-Willamette Valley, focused solely on keeping readers informed about the events and people in their communities. Plus, their local news Web site keeps you informed on breaking news as it happens, 24 hours a day. Their company core values guide them in providing readers and advertisers the best products and services possible. They are committed to serving the increasingly diverse Salem/Keizer community by providing timely, credible and relevant information, products and services.

They do this by setting and meeting high standards and being accurate, fair, consistent and ethical in their news coverage and advertising, their management and our relationship with customers. They also have the courage to affect positive change in the community through innovation and by taking sensible risks. As an equal opportunity employer, we recognize and appreciate the benefits of diversity in the workplace. The Statesman Journal’s Diversity Statement reflects this commitment. Many weekly newspapers were launched in pioneer times in Salem and other Western towns. Only two Salem newspapers survived to become modern dailies, the Oregon Statesman and the Capital Journal.
