E-clips: A quick summary of UO in the daily news
E-clips provide a snapshot of media coverage of the University of Oregon. Each day’s edition (Monday-Friday) is compiled by the Media Relations office using a variety of search engines of online news sources or other reports. Our daily edition of E-clips, including full stories, is distributed by email to members of the UO community who subscribe to the service. (See below for how to subscribe to your campus address.)
Below you will find a brief summary of the day's top story or stories chosen from the each day's full E-clips.The summaries do not include the full stories because of the often short life of media URLs and copyright considerations. (Monday's E-clips each week includes stories from the weekend.)
