The Portland State Vanguard, formerly known as the Daily Vanguard and Vet's Extended, is an independent student newspaper for Portland State University, in Portland, Oregon, United States.
The tabloid format newspaper has a circulation of 5,000, and is distributed for free in and around the Portland State campus area. Until fall 2010 it was published Tuesday through Friday during the academic year, and once a week during the summer. Tuesday, Friday and summer issues were 12 pages, while Wednesday and Thursday issues were eight. As of 2013, the Vanguard publishes once a week on Tuesdays. Exclusively online stories are also released daily. As of 2016–17, the paper is known as the Portland State Vanguard and publishes weekly, every Tuesday.
The Vanguard is composed of four sections: News, Opinion, Arts & Culture and Sports. The news section provides coverage of significant events relating to the university, administration, student government and the city of Portland. The opinion section offers a variety of views on local and national news and politics and provides a forum of discussion and debate for students and faculty. Arts & Culture covers arts, entertainment and popular culture around campus and Portland. The sports section provides coverage of Portland State athletics teams, campus recreation and student-run recreational clubs.
The newspaper's approximately $200,000 annual operating budget is funded in part through student fees and in part through advertising revenue.
The Portland State University Media Board, which consists of four students, four faculty members, and one community member, acts as the Vanguard's publishing body. The board hires the Vanguard's editor-in-chief at the end of each academic year and the remainder of the editorial staff is hired by the editor-in-chief. Editors serve a term of one academic year, beginning and ending in June.
The Vanguard is entirely student run, employing about 60 paid student writers, photographers, graphic designers and section editors. Contributors are freelance and are paid per contribution.
The current editor-in-chief is Colleen Leary. The current advertising manager is Tim Sullivan. The Vanguard's adviser is Reaz Mahmood, who replaced Jud Randall a former editor at The Oregonian.
