About

Your stories are welcome here.

MyEugene is a community-driven news site. MyEugene features conversations and stories that were created or suggested by the people of Eugene—for the people of Eugene.

That’s right. MyEugene is for people – not politicians or pastors. MyEugene is for citizens, not consumers. MyEugene is for neighbors, not tree-huggers or tree loggers.

Purpose:

• To inform community about micro-news and happenings
• To provide a channel for community voices and a means for large-scale conversation
• To shine a light on neighborhood stories not shared in mainstream media
• To share news that is important to you
• To develop stories with you

MyEugene is for you. MyEugene is your voice. So let’s hear it.

Sincerely,
Jaculynn Peterson
