The Eagle, officially known as The Bryan-College Station Eagle, is a daily newspaper based in Bryan, Texas, United States. Centered in Brazos County, the paper covers an eight-county area around Bryan-College Station that includes Texas A&M University.[2] [3]

History

First published by attorney Richard M. Smith as the Weekly Eagle on October 26, 1889,[4] it transitioned to a daily in 1913.[5]

The Eagle was owned by the Evening Post Publishing Company from 2001 to 2012, when it was sold to Berkshire Hathaway to become part of its BH Media Group subsidiary.[6] [7] At that time, the paper's average weekday circulation in 2012 was 19,132.[8]

Previously, the newspaper was owned by Belo Corp. from 1995–2001, Worrell Newspapers from 1988–1995, Harte-Hanks Communications from 1962–1988 and local ownership prior to that.[9] As of 2020, Lee Enterprises owns the paper.

Starting June 20, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.[10] [11]

Awards

The Eagle has won multiple awards, including Texas Associated Press Managing Editors awards,[12] [13] as well as Newspaper Association of America circulation awards.[14]
