University Of Oregon Media

The University of Oregon has a diverse array of student-run and non-student-run media outlets.

Newspapers

''Daily Emerald''

The ''Daily Emerald'', published Monday through Friday, primarily features news items and commentary pertaining to the University community, and is considered the daily paper of record. In addition to the print newspaper, the ''Emerald'' publishes its features on the internet. The ''Emerald'' has been in publication for more than 100 years. A court case involving the ''Emeralds publication of several first-hand student accounts of drug use during the 1960s became the basis for the subsequent creation of the Oregon Shield Law. The paper became independent in the 1970s after editor Paul Brainerd realized the potential conflict of interest between acting as a watchdog while simultaneously receiving direct funding and oversight from the university. Today the paper is supported by advertising revenue and is distributed free to students because of a subscription fee paid by the ASUO with incidental fees.

''Student Insurgent''

The ''Student Insurgent'' is a journal of radical politics published by a collective of students and community members. The paper's coverage shifts periodically, but has covered anti-capitalist, radical environmentalist, and anti-war topics. The ''Insurgent'' has expressed solidarity with such groups as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth First! organization. It has also rallied for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal and Jeff Luers, a local eco-anarchist whose 22-year arson sentence was later overturned on the grounds that it was excessive, as well as other imprisoned radical-left voices, often claiming that they are wrongly held political prisoners.

''Student Insurgent'' printed "The Jesus Issue", featuring commentary on Christianity and cartoons of Jesus, including "Jesus with erection", in response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Bill O'Reilly called for the firing of university president David B. Frohnmayer and invited members of the ''Insurgent'' and the ''Commentator'' onto the O'Reilly Factor, but only ''Commentator'' staff accepted.
