VIDEO: The Silverton Standard rides again!

The Silverton Standard has been the subject of a number of recent videos highlighting the historic newspaper’s importance to the community and its struggle to survive as a nonprofit – “Silverton Public Newspaper.”

In May 2012, the NBC "Today Show" broadcast a short documentary on the Silverton Standard in the "American Story" segment with reporter Bob Dotson:
