The Daily Barometer

Description

The Daily Barometer is Oregon State University's student-published campus newspaper. The content is written and edited by Oregon State students and includes news articles, editorials, and advertisements. This publication documents the full range of campus programs and activities including academic and research initiatives, student activities, athletics, campus buildings and facilities, as well as local and regional news and events. The first issue was published on March 16, 1896 as The College Barometer; publication continued monthly until 1907 in a magazine format. In the fall of 1907, The College Barometer became a weekly publication in a newspaper format; semi-weekly publication began in December 1909. A daily newspaper was launched in 1922 and the title changed to The Daily Barometer to reflect this expanded publication. The first summer issues were produced in 1965. In 2016, the campus newspaper reduced print publication to a weekly, switched from broadsheet to tabloid format - rebranded The Baro - and delivered daily news online through the Orange Media Network website. Amidst these changes, no Summer 2016 print editions were published. The newspaper also ceased publication from March 2020 to January 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic. When the paper returned, it did so as a monthly print publication. This site provides online full-text-searchable access to issues of The Barometer throughout its evolution.
