Coverage for Central Oregon, by Central Oregonians.
100% Local. No Paywalls.

Every day, the Source publishes a mix of locally reported stories on our website, keeping you up to date on developments in news, food, music and the arts. We’re committed to covering this city where we live, this city that we love, and we hear regularly from readers who appreciate our ability to put breaking news in context.

The Source has been a free publication for its 22 years. It has been free as a print version and continued that way when we began to publish online, on social media and through our newsletters.

But, as most of our readers know, times are different for local journalism. Tech giants are hoovering up small businesses and small-business advertising—which has been the staple for locally owned media. Without these resources, journalism struggles to bring coverage of community news, arts and entertainment that social media cannot deliver.

Please consider becoming a supporter of locally owned journalism through our Source Insider program. Learn more about our program’s benefits by clicking through today.

Source Weekly

Melanie Kebler, candidate for Bend City Council position 1, joins Editor Nicole Vulcan of the Source Weekly for "My View," a video series inviting local candidates to share their views on a host of topics ahead of the 2020 election, while sitting in front of a view they enjoy.

Kebler chose Hollinshead Park in northeast Bend—where her family had a community garden plot growing up, she said.

Stay tuned for the Source Weekly's endorsements of local candidates, on stands Oct. 22, 2020. The My View video series will continue with video interviews for local city, county and state races, all the way up to the 2020 election.

COVID protocols: Since the interviews take place outdoors, the Source team invited each candidate to go without a mask, so voters can get to know them and see their faces as they talk.
