Welcome to Siskiyou News — your independent, community-driven source for news across Siskiyou County and beyond. We believe every voice matters, and every story deserves to be heard.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to shine a light on local stories, keep the community informed, and strengthen civic engagement. We cover local government, environment, public issues, community life, and the stories that shape everyday life in Siskiyou County.
Why We Started
Siskiyou County is rural, spread out, and often overlooked by larger media organizations. Siskiyou News was created to fill that gap — to deliver ground-level reporting that understands the people, the land, and the challenges unique to this region.
About the Founder
Jay A. Martin — Author, Editor, and Owner of Siskiyou News.
“Never underestimate the impact of a single voice seeking the truth — sometimes you find the story, sometimes the story finds you… and occasionally, it trips you on the way out the door.”
– Jay Martin
