The East Oregonian (EO) is a daily newspaper published in Pendleton, Oregon, United States and covering Umatilla and Morrow counties.[3]

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]
