A weekly newspaper, new issues of The Oakland Post are distributed free of charge every Wednesday to locations on campus at Oakland University and select local off-campus locations. The Oakland Post switches to monthly production during the summer months of May, June and July because of low traffic to the commuter-driven campus.
The two opinion sections of the newspaper are Perspectives (opinion and editorial) and Mouthing Off (satire and humor.) The Campus section covers campus issues and events. The Sports section provides comprehensive coverage of Oakland athletics and professional sports. The Life section replaced the "Features" and "Scene" sections in 2012 to better present stories in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The Local news section covers the efforts of students of Oakland and coverage of surrounding areas.
The paper was ranked second in its region and division by the Society of Professional Journalists in 2009.[1] It is currently ranked first in its division by the Michigan Press Association [2] and is an Associated Collegiate Press national newspaper Pacemaker finalist.[3] The 2010-11 staff garnered an ACP Best of Show award the 2010 National College Media Convention.[4]
