he Philomath News is a locally owned, independent news outlet serving the community of Philomath, Oregon, founded in 2020 by Brad Fuqua, a longtime local journalist who previously served as editor of the now-closed Philomath Express from 2015 to 2020. When the Express shuttered, Fuqua launched the Philomath News to ensure the community continued to have access to dedicated, trustworthy local coverage. The outlet operates on three core principles reflected in its logo: local, independent, and trusted. Local means the publication is owned by a community resident, not an outside media company. Independent means it has no affiliations with outside organizations or political interests, publishing objective and unbiased news. Trusted reflects Fuqua's longstanding reputation in Philomath as a reliable and professional journalist whose consistent approach to coverage has earned community confidence.
