History
The newspaper was first published in 1904.[1] Until 1960, it was known as the Siuslaw Oar and The West.[2][4][5] Dave and Marge Holman purchased the paper in 1958. Two years later they merged it with the Florence News to form the Siuslaw News. The couple sold the paper to their son Paul Holman in 1980 after they retired, and he sold it to News Media Corporation in 2000.[6] The company sold the newspaper in September 2023 to Country Media, Inc.[7]
