IN THE LIMELIGHT “You have our attention. At my metro newspaper and all the others. We’ve been waiting for someone to wake up. Now, give it all you got.” — Editor in the Midwest
“Even in its nascent stage, the Emerald’s creation should serve as an instructional, inspirational model for other professional and student news outlets seeking to reinvent, truly reinvent, in the digital age.” — Dan Reimold, College Media Matters
“WOW. I am incredibly impressed with the University of Oregon’s student newspaper’s digital reinvention. Smarter than most pros.” — Carrie Brown-Smith, University of Memphis
The Oregon Daily Emerald’s 92year streak as a Monday-to-Friday newspaper will end soon. But the Emerald Media Group’s run has just begun. Next fall, we will launch a new Emerald completely rebuilt for the digital age. The daily newspaper will be replaced by a modern college media company. We know what you’re thinking: Another college daily goes down, buckling under the pressure of advancing technology and retreating readership. That’s not our story. Yes, we confront the same challenges as every American media company, but this is not a move made out of financial desperation. The Emerald, as a nonprofit organization, is having its best year financially in more than a decade. We have no debt and a solid reserve fund. We are adapting to a new model to deliver on our mission to serve our community and prepare our student staff for the professional world. We will continue to offer the independent, student-led journalism that has won us national recognition. But we will also offer much more. This is a big change. We know. It wasn’t a decision we made lightly. We did our homework and concluded that this is the best approach for our readers, our staff and our campus.
