East Oregonian
The East Oregonian (EO) is a daily newspaper published in Pendleton, Oregon, United States and covering Umatilla and Morrow counties.[1] The newspaper was established in 1875 as a weekly by M. P. Bull.[2][3] In 1882, C. S. "Sam" Jackson purchased the EO.[3] Within a year it had become a semiweekly, and in 1888, the paper was published every day except Sunday.[3] Jackson went on to become the publisher of the Oregon Journal in Portland.[3]
The newspaper is owned by the East Oregonian Publishing Company and as of 2011, it is published Tuesday through Sunday and has a circulation of 7,797.[4] The Tuesday through Friday editions are afternoon papers, and the Saturday and Sunday editions are morning papers.[1] The paper maintains a bureau in Hermiston.[1] The EO is the newspaper of record for Umatilla County.[5]
