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.[8] Within a year it had become a semiweekly, and in 1888, the paper was published every day except Sunday. Jackson went on to become the publisher of the Oregon Journal in Portland.

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.[9] [10]
