Since 1896, The Barometer has been OSU's premier news source. In that time much has changed in the field of journalism, but the Barometer team's dedication to accuracy and excellence has never wavered. Now a monthly publication with daily online content, the printed Barometer is distributed every first Monday of the month (unless there is a holiday or school break), with online and social media content every day.

Camera-ready ad due by noon on Monday 3 weeks prior to publication. Publications go out every Monday while classes are in session.
