History
The newspaper was founded in 1914 by E. M. Bogardus as the Gold Beach Reporter. The Gold Beach paper was sold in 1917 to A. E. Guyton and John A. Juza, with Juza assuming complete ownership in 1922 and W. E. Hassler becoming editor. The paper's name was changed around 1926 to the Curry County Reporter.
In 1952, Wesley and Jennie Burton sold the paper to Wicks Shaw and George Megarth. Four years later it was purchased by Robert and Betty Van Leer. It gradually expanded though the 1980s, at which point it employed six full time and two part time workers. Robert and Betty Van Leer passed it to Jim and Molly Walker, their daughter and son-in-law, in 1997. Joel Summer and Rebecca Macko owned the paper for seven years until selling it to Matt and Kim Hall, owners of the Port Orford News in February 2016.
