Local Newspaper Index-Meriam Library

About This Index:
The purpose of these indices is to provide users with a source of local information related to campus and community issues. The user may find information in both newspapers on a particular subject but may find it useful to target a specific topic by narrowing searches to one newspaper only. For instance, campus issues are more thoroughly covered and accessible by using The Orion as a source, while wider, community based issues are generally covered in depth by the Chico News and Review. Although not mutually exclusive, this is the advice we give to users as a rule of thumb.

Our indexes do not cover incidental stories, reviews, or editorials; because of time and resource constraints, we index only major topical stories. Please browse the subject authority list (the list we use to index articles) as a starting point for your search.

The Orion is indexed from February 4, 1981 to present, Chico News & Review is indexed from January 20, 1983 to present. Currently these papers are being added on a regular basis. To find a specific newspaper not yet listed in the index, please consult Special Collections staff.

About These Newspapers:
The Orion, established March 12, 1975, is the official student newspaper of the California State University, Chico campus and is published weekly during the school year. This award winning newspaper is published by the Center for Information and Communication Studies.

The Chico News & Review is a local community newspaper that began as a student publication on the CSU, Chico campus. The history starts with The Wildcat newspaper that was published between October 8, 1926 to March 22, 1977. The newspaper was taken off campus in the Spring of 1977 and was organized as an independent, biweekly publication known as the Wildcat News and Review. August 30, 1977 the name was changed to Chico News & Review. Today it is published once a week and has circulation statistics of approximately 50,000 throughout the Chico area.
