What are the local media outlets?

A primary source of print and online news for the area is the Salem Observer. Because Salem is a border town with Massachusetts and falls with the signal range of major Boston radio stations, its airwaves enjoy the full complement of big city programming from NPR to Top-40 to talk news programming.
