The Heppner Gazette-Times is a weekly newspaper serving Morrow County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It has a circulation of 1,430.[1]

History

The Gazette was founded in 1883.[2] At the time of its launch, the city of Heppner had a population of 370; the newspaper was started with contributions from a number of citizens.[3]

Vawter Crawford bought the paper in 1910, and two years later purchased the Heppner Times, which had been founded in 1897, and merged the two papers. It was a consistently Republican newspaper.[4]

David Sykes bought the paper in 1980.[5] He appointed his son Chris Sykes as publisher in 2022.[5]

Archives from 1951 through 1976, as well as many pages from its predecessor newspapers, are available through the Oregon Digital Newspaper Program.[6][7]
