[edit] History
The World was first published in 1878 as The Coast Mail. During the first half of the 20th century, many name changes and mergers took place. Eventually, owner/publisher Sheldon F. Sackett changed the newspaper's name to The World in the 1960s. Sackett owned several media outlets including KISN, a radio station in Portland.
The paper's website, theworldlink.com, was launched in 1999. Southwestern Oregon Publishing Company purchased the Bandon Western World in 2003 and the Reedsport Umpqua Post in 2004. Both weeklies are printed at The World in Coos Bay. [2]
