The Linfield Review is a weekly newspaper produced by students at Linfield College. Since 1896, the Review has reported college and community news, featured studentauthored opinions and covered college athletics as well as offered in-depth feature stories. The paper has been a member of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association Collegiate Division for eight years. The adviser for the Review is Professor Will Lingle of Linfield’s Department of Mass Communication.

The Review is published every Friday during the school year, with the exception of school breaks and the month of January.

Special editions are published, as well, such as the Back-toSchool Issue, the Commencement Issue and the Renter’s Guide.

In addition to the 1,000 copies printed for community distribution, almost 100 subscribers also receive weekly issues.

These subscribers include parents of Linfield students, college alumni and other colleges in the Northwest. Funding for the Review is generated through advertising revenues and the Associated Students of Linfield College.

The staff of the Review comprises 17 full-time students whose jobs range from copy editor and page designer to ad salesperson and photographer. Each semester, a new set of Linfield students sign up to report for the Review. Participation in the publication is open to students from any department and any year.

The ultimate goals of the Review are to act as a practical learning tool for Linfield students interested in any aspect of newspaper publication or media studies and to produce a highquality publication representative of the college. The experienced staff members strive for professionalism and consistency in every issue. Last spring, the Review received 11 awards at the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association Collegiate Newspaper contest, the second-most in our circulation group.
