About The Times-Journal

Serving the frontier counties of Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler in North Central Oregon

One of the oldest Oregon newspapers still in publication, The Times-Journal was founded in 1886 as The Fossil Journal. Today, The Times-Journal serves as the newspaper of record for Wheeler County, Gilliam County and Sherman County in North Central Oregon. We provide news coverage for the rural communities of Arlington, Condon, Wasco, Fossil, Mitchell, Rufus, Spray, Grass Valley and Wasco.

The Times-Journal is widely read by community members and those living outside of the geographical area with ties to the region. The newspaper is published every Thursday by Stephen and Renee Allen, Bighorn Press. Digital subscriptions are available; print issues are mailed weekly to local and nationwide subscribers.
