Lake County Examiner

The Lake County Examiner is a weekly newspaper published in Lakeview, Oregon, United States.

In addition to the weekly newspaper, the Examiner staff publishes a number of special editions each year along with a local real estate guide and a twice-weekly news flyer.

The Examiner is a community newspaper that primarily covers local news, sports, business, and events.

The newspaper maintains an online presence through www.lakecountyexam.com, a web-site that features local news, commentary, sports, obituaries, and community announcements.

[6] In addition to the weekly newspaper, the Examiner staff publishes up to twelve special editions each year.

The special editions focus on local industries such as farming, ranching, and forestry as well as events like the Lake County Fair and Lakeview's annual hang gliding festival.

[12] However, the newspaper's main source of income was legal notices for land claims, which homesteaders were required to post publicly.

[11] After a few years in business, the Examiner installed an Eight-Medium Gordon-Franklin job press and changed to a new larger print style.

While the State Line Herald was Lakeview's first newspaper, established in 1878, the combined publication kept the Lake County Examiner name.

However, the Examiner staff rescued enough equipment and material to publish a special edition the day after the fire.

Upbeat business articles about Lake County were common along with announcements for community events and meetings.

[12] In 1911, the Examiner was purchased by Fred P. Cronemiller, who also owned the Evening Herald in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
