The East Oregonian (EO) is a daily newspaper published in Pendleton, Oregon, United States and covering Umatilla and Morrow counties.[2] The EO was the first-place winner of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association General Excellence award in 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012 and 2011[3].

The newspaper was established in 1875 by M.P. Bull, as a weekly.[4][5] In 1882, C. S. "Sam" Jackson purchased the EO.[5][6] Within a year it had become a semiweekly,[5] and in 1888, the paper was published every day except Sunday.[6] Jackson went on to become the publisher of the Oregon Journal in Portland.[5][6]

The newspaper is owned by EO Media Group, which prior to January 2013 was named the East Oregonian Publishing Company.[2] As of 2013, the paper is published Tuesday through Saturday mornings and has a circulation of 7,014.[7] The paper maintains a bureau in Hermiston.[2] The EO is the newspaper of record for Umatilla County.[8]
