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 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;[9] in 2020 it was 6,889.[2] The paper maintains a bureau in Hermiston.[3] The EO is the newspaper of record for Umatilla County.[10]
