The East Oregonian (EO) is a daily newspaper published in Pendleton, Oregon, United States and covering Umatilla and Morrow counties.[3]
The newspaper was established in 1875 by M.P. Bull, as a weekly.[4][5] In 1882, C. S. "Sam" Jackson purchased the EO.[5][6] Within a year it had become a semiweekly,[5] and in 1888, the paper was published every day except Sunday.[6] Jackson went on to become the publisher of the Oregon Journal in Portland.[5][6]
The newspaper is owned by EO Media Group, which prior to January 2013 was named the East Oregonian Publishing Company.[3] The paper is published Tuesday through Saturday mornings. As of 2013, its circulation was 7,014;[7] in 2020 it was 6,889.[8] The paper maintains a bureau in Hermiston.[3] The EO is the newspaper of record for Umatilla County.[9]
The EO was the first-place winner of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association General Excellence award in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021.[10][11]
