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:

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

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
