The Journal
The Journal is Western Oregon University’s weekly student newspaper since 1923. It has gone through six name changes since it has begun publications. Currently The Journal is in connection with KWOU, and the Northwest Passage. These three are known as the student media board and are located on the bottom floor of the Werner University Center.

The Western Oregon Journal has at the heart of its mission publishing news, information, and opinion articles for and about student, faculty, and administration activities, interests, and policies; maintaining a high ethical standard with regard to personal and legal rights, responsibilities, and above all else, accuracy; providing a public forum that encourages and prints free and responsible expression of student opinion and presents well-balanced, locally researched issues of broader student interests; striving for a high level of competency in the technical aspects of writing, including grammar, spelling, clarity, and precision; welcoming diversity and increasing the scope and depth of its coverage in order to heighten mutual understanding and awareness throughout the entire campus community; and fostering the development of professional journalism at Western Oregon University in light of the campus’s lack of a formal journalism program.
