History
editTracing its roots to 1881, the paper covers Central Oregon where it is the newspaper of record for Crook County.[2][3] In 1921, a merger of the Prineville Call and the Crook County Journal formed the Central Oregonian.[4] The Journal had previously absorbed the Mitchell Monitor.[5]
Doris Donnelly owned the Central Oregonian until selling it in September 1969 to Eagle Newspapers.[6] Eagle sold the paper to Pamplin Media Group in June 2013.[6][7] As of 2014, the paper was published on Tuesdays and Fridays.[3]
In October 2018, implemented a paywall on its website, under which users are permitted free access to three stories per calendar month, after which payment of per-story fee is required for non-subscribers.[8]
