Here’s the latest from Keizertimes

Hello Keizer….

Good morning….

Readers reacted strongly to the story about the power play on the Keizer City Council. It was the most read story on our digital service in recent days.

That demonstrates to us again the enduring deep interest you and others have in keeping up with Keizer.

One resource that helps us do that: You.

This is a big and growing city. We can’t be everywhere. We welcome tips from readers, whether it’s a question about something they see, a person they think did something noteworthy, or an event coming up.

Keizertimes also recently brought on a Corban University student, Riley Ellis, to spend a few weeks as a reporter. He is finishing his university studies, but he’s also eager to study at the “University of Keizertimes,” learning the techniques of journalism. We’re glad to have him aboard and happy for the chance to develop new talent for our profession – and our community.

If you have suggestions, questions or even concerns, reach out. Send a note to Editor Les Zaitz (publisher@keizertimes).
