History
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]
In June 2024, EO Media Group announced the East Oregonian will go from two to one print edition day each week. Moving forward, EO will serve as a regional newspaper for all of northeastern Oregon and publish news from five newspaper that went online-only: The La Grande Observer, Blue Mountain Eagle, Hermiston Herald, Wallowa County Chieftain and Baker City Herald.[10][11]
