Overview
The newspaper was first published in 1874, making it one of the oldest college newspapers in the nation.[5] The tabloid-sized newspaper, with a circulation of 1,700,[5] is published roughly 25 times during the academic year from its office in the basement of Burton Hall. It is printed by PM Graphics.[citation needed]
The newspaper's format has remained relatively constant despite rapid turnover in staffing. Its 16 pages are currently divided into five sections: News, Opinions, This Week in Oberlin, Arts and Sports. Past semesters have also included a Features section. In 2008, editors introduced a color front page, back page and centerfold.[citation needed]
Awards
The Review has won numerous awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. From 1994 to 1996, it won the Collegiate Silver Crown awarded by that organization.[6]
