In the article entitled "Why the Salem Monthly?" [ [http://www.salemmonthly.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=163&Itemid=97 willametteLive.com || ] ] , editor and publisher AP Walther writes:
We have created Salem Monthly to give our community exposure to local news, thought, and culture in the greater Salem area. We want to feature stories about what's going on in your area, to give you a sense of place. Salem is nestled in the beautiful Willamette Valley, a stone's throw away from towering mountains and a roaring ocean. We have many great cities and towns as our neighbors, and we are excited to bring you quality information from those communities.
By covering much of the mid-
Willamette Valley , Salem Monthly wants to be your guide to what's going on at home. We are including listings of events spanning many categories in order to give you more options and ideas on how to get involved in your community. Our goal is to spread as much information as we can about Salem and the surrounding towns.References
