YACHATS — The Lincoln Chronicle’s staff is inviting Yachats and Waldport-area residents to the second of three community meetings Thursday afternoon to hear more about its operations, plans and the state of local news in Oregon.
The informal meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday, June 19 in the Civic room of the Yachats Commons. Light refreshments will be available.
The Lincoln Chronicle is published by the 6½-year-old nonprofit YachatsNews, which changed its website’s name in late March to reflect the hiring of an additional reporter and wider coverage of news in Lincoln County.
During the meetings, Lincoln Chronicle editor Quinton Smith will talk briefly about the news organization’s history, operations, local news philosophy, the state of local news in Oregon, introduce Chronicle reporters Garret Jaros and Shayla Escudero and freelance writer Cheryl Romano of Yachats, and answer questions from the audience.
The news organization’s first community meeting was held Tuesday in Newport. The third community meeting is planned for 3 p.m. Thursday, June 26 at the Newport Public Library, 35 N.W. Nye St.
