The Umpqua Post

The Umpqua Post was a weekly newspaper serving Reedsport, Oregon, United States and the surrounding area in Douglas and Coos counties from 1996 to 2020.

The Umpqua Post was first published on November 4, 1996, by founders Elizabeth Adamo and Nancie Hammond.

This made the town one of two Oregon cities to have two general-circulation weekly newspapers, with the other being John Day.

At the time, publisher Ben Kenfield cited the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for the closure.
