The Tillamook County Pioneer is a rapidly growing, online-only, free to read news source covering the entire county from Manzanita to Neskowin. Since we entered the world of online news in July, 2013, we have an average of 50,000 unique visitors per month, and have reached over 1,000,000. In fact, between 15 and 20 percent of them are lingering on the site for 10 minutes or more. Meanwhile, our Fa

cebook likes are growing steadily at over 11,000, with 200 to 300 new "likes" each week and our page is reaching an average of over 60,000 people per week, and recent reach over 300,000! We believe independently owned and operated online news sources that offer free editorial content to readers are the wave of the community journalism future, in part because they make readers happy and draw more traffic than sites with paywalls, which makes advertisers happy. While naturally the majority of our readers live in Tillamook County, roughly 17.5 percent live in the Portland Metro area. Another 6.5 percent live in Hood River, 2.5 percent in Salem, 2.5 percent in Beaverton, 2 percent in Hillsboro, 2 percent in Lincoln City and 2 percent in Eugene. In fact, we receive email and phone queries from people who live outside Tillamook County asking about local events on a fairly regular basis.
