Portland State Vanguard
Portland State Vanguard, formerly known as the Daily Vanguard and Vet's Extended, is an independent student newspaper for Portland State University, in Portland, Oregon, United States.
The tabloid format newspaper has a circulation of 5,000, and is distributed for free in and around the Portland State campus area. Until fall 2010 it was published Tuesday through Friday during the academic year, and once a week during the summer. Tuesday, Friday and summer issues were 12 pages, while Wednesday and Thursday issues were eight. As of 2013, the Vanguard publishes once a week on Tuesdays. Exclusively online stories are also released daily. As of 2016–17, the paper is known as the Portland State Vanguard and publishes weekly, every Wednesday.
The Vanguard is composed of four sections: News, Opinion, Arts & Culture and International. The news section provides coverage of significant events relating to the university, administration, student government and the city of Portland. The opinion section offers a variety of views on local and national news and politics and provides a forum of discussion and debate for students and faculty. Arts & Culture covers arts, entertainment and popular culture around campus and Portland. The international section provides coverage of world news and Portland State international and multicultural student organizations and events.
The newspaper's approximately $200,000 annual operating budget is funded in part through student fees and in part through advertising revenue.
The Portland State University Media Board, which consists of four students, four faculty members, and one community member, acts as the Vanguard's publishing body. The board hires the Vanguard's editor-in-chief at the end of each academic year and the remainder of the editorial staff is hired by the editor-in-chief. Editors serve a term of one academic year, beginning and ending in June.
Established in 1946, Vanguard was originally the newspaper of the Vanport College Extension in Vanport, Oregon, from which the Vanguard name is derived. The Vanport College Extension relocated to downtown Portland, Oregon after it was destroyed by a flood on May 30, 1948, and eventually became Portland State College before becoming Portland State University.
The newspaper's first issue was published by founding editor Don Carlo, a blind military veteran, on November 16, 1946, under the temporary nameplate Vet's Extended. The first article on the front page was a story covering the student council elections. The first editorial was titled "The Spirit of a Student Body," and declared:
We, as students, are helping to start a new idea for colleges. For it is true that there was no school here before, and it is also true that this organization was only started to alleviate the congestion created by the emergency....and though the only romantic thing around here is the cinder path from Portland to Oregon Halls, we do have the proper shift of....a University. But even without all of the atmospheric attributes, we have within us the insatiable search for knowledge that was born while waiting for the end of the war. Many of us waited years so that we might have an opportunity to attend such a school.
