Publisher/owner Bonnie King is pleased to bring this full service multimedia news site to the world, staffed by award-winning
professional journalists and a wealth of diverse writers from all over the world. states, we are also based in Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Cambodia, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Great Britain, India, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Denmark, Palestine, (West Bank and Gaza) Russian Federation, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Uganda and Vietnam. Salem-News.com was created as a present and future answer for the needs of a wide range of news consumers in Oregon, across the nation and around the world. Salem, Oregon is one of many locations in the U.S. of 250k or more, that are not adequately supported by a local television market. We see the 'New Media' revolution as an opportunity to bring more news to these areas and also as a venue for emerging and veteran journalists, and we want it to be more than just an extension of the existing overly commercial mainstream news market.
