History
The newspaper was established in 1875 by M.P. Bull, as a weekly.[6][7] In 1882, C. S. "Sam" Jackson purchased the EO.[7][8] Within a year it had become a semiweekly,[7] and in 1888, the paper was published every day except Sunday.[8] Jackson went on to become the publisher of the Oregon Journal in Portland.[7][8]
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.[11][12]
