The Banks Post is an independently owned and operated digital newspaper launched in 2017 in Banks, Oregon, beginning as an online-only outlet before growing into a full-time digital publication with some print options. It serves Banks and the surrounding communities of Timber, Buxton, Manning, Hayward, Mountaindale, and Roy. The paper is solely owned and operated by co-founder Chas Hundley, a native of Gales Creek with deep family roots in the region and a hereditary connection to local journalism his great-grandmother wrote a rural column for the Forest Grove News-Times in the early 1900s. The Banks Post is reader-supported, with the majority of revenue coming from digital subscriptions.
