History
From 1902-1934, the University student publication was a monthly magazine published as The Columbiad. In 1934, The Columbiad became a weekly broad-sheet and was renamed The Beacon when the name of the University was changed from Columbia University to the University of Portland. From 1935-2016, The Beacon newspaper remained a weekly print publication until 2016 when it moved to a digital format. Today, The Beacon is an online campus news source that continues to be published by dedicated student journalists at the University of Portland.
