MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN COLUMBIA

The local print market is uniquely structured around a dual-daily system where a traditional commercial publication competes directly with a university-operated paper. Owned by Gannett, the Columbia Daily Tribune serves as the primary commercial daily for the region. It operates alongside the Columbia Missourian, a general-interest newspaper founded in 1908 and staffed by students at the Missouri School of Journalism. The collegiate community is additionally covered by the independent, student-run Man Eater. Paperboy lists 4 newspapers in Columbia.
