ABOUT
THE TEAM
We're proud to be here sharing Oregon with you.
Here is Oregon is produced by Oregonian Media Group in collaboration with our newsroom and marketing departments.
Teamwork drives us. Here we bring you stories that lift and celebrate Oregon. We share stories from our news teams, our community, our partners, and our supporters. In some cases, we include the work of freelance writers, photographers and designers hired to help illustrate the people, places and experiences that are distinctly Oregon.

WHAT DO
OUR BYLINES
MEAN
Newsroom features that are independently conceived, developed, and produced by TheOregonian/OregonLive content teams, in some cases, may be first shared on OregonLive.com and then posted here, and vice versa.
Original Here is Oregon stories and videos that are produced exclusively for HereisOregon.com and related social media platforms. These stories are produced by teams outside the newsroom and may include links to content residing on OregonLive.com or third-party platforms, including other noncompany-owned information, news or social media sites.
Community members from across the state are encouraged to share their stories with us.
Stories created by an outside agency or content team, transparently labeled as "sponsor content" and shared by our Here is Oregon partners through our marketing and advertising department.
