Rogue Valley Times

The Rogue Valley Times provides a vital service to all of the Rogue Valley. Areas across the country are news deserts that have no one to report the daily events, keep the politicians honest, post the obituaries, report on sports and schools; all of the things that make up a community and thankfully we have caring professional news people at the R-V Times to do that. Without them this place would only get information from the big city broadcast media, which really isn’t much interested in us and what we do here. We need local news and the Rogue Valley Times is the best place to get it.

I’ve paid for RV Times since they came to town because local journalism is nice to see. I especially like the in depth articles Buffy writes. I also appreciate the crime stuff and the obits. All for a fair price too.

Thank goodness for the Rogue Valley Times. After the abrupt shuttering of the Mail Tribune, I thought we would become yet another news desert. No local news means that horrible people, corrupt businesses and even government agencies will manage to skirt being held accountable by the hardworking citizens of the Rogue Valley because the awful things don’t get reported to the public. They do that stuff on the sly and behind closed doors. It takes solid journalism to bring it to light. The TV news stations’ 3 min “reports” don’t quite do it for me. I’m relieved to have a paper that reports “the good, the bad and the ugly.” It’s a shame that more people don’t support their local paper because there’s a reason why some news is free. Free news isn’t accurate or comprehensive news. As the saying g

I recently subscribed to the Rogue Valley Times. I missed the paper, sitting and actually reading print, with a cup of coffee or in the evening, and not from a phone. It reminds me of my dad, reading the newspaper back in the day and us kids loved reading the comics. The articles are informative and each reporter writes in detail about the subject. Everything you want in a paper is in the RVT.

It's a relief there's still some reporting being done here in Southern Oregon which benefits everyone to make informed decisions about so many things from knowing where politicians stand on issues to how robust our business community is in the Rogue Valley and who may perhaps need a lift up when it's deserved. The people who do the deed(s) aren't being paid fairly either, so do know their wages are stagnant or worse perhaps similar to you. We're almost one of those 'news deserts' happening and it's unconscionable to contemplate being without the Rogue Valley Times and local news coverage. Thank you RVT for all you do with the skeleton crew putting the paper out.
