The Daily Barometer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Daily Barometer is the official campus newspaper of Oregon State University, in Corvallis, Oregon.
The Barometer is published five days a week during the fall, winter and spring quarters, and weekly during the summer,
OSU eliminated technical journalism as an academic program at the college in the early 1990s following state budget cuts, a move that sent most aspiring journalists to other schools and left the student-produced paper with little formal direction.
But in 2001, led by a team of young editors and reporters who saw the poorly supervised paper as a place to explore new ideas in journalism, The Barometer was named the best all-around daily student newspaper in the country by the Society of Professional Journalists.
The same year, Barometer staff development editor Matthew D. LaPlante won the top award for feature writing. His series, "Five Hearts" chronicled the struggle of a lesbian couple forced into life-changing decisions after learning one partner was pregnant with triplets.
