The Eastern Progress
The Eastern Progress is EKU's student-produced, weekly newspaper. This award-winning newspaper includes upcoming events, articles on student life, notices of important dates and policy changes; in short, it keeps you up to date on what's happening, where and with whom on campus. The editorial page frequently takes campus administrators to task for some current issue and the "Police Beat" is always of interest. The Eastern Progress is FREE and is widely distributed, every Thursday, in the lobbies of most campus buildings.

Society of Professional Journalists
The Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to the perpetuation of a free press as the cornerstone of our nation and our liberty. To ensure that the concept of self-government outlined by the U.S. Constitution remains a reality into future centuries, the American people must be well informed in order to make decisions regarding their lives, and their local and national communities. It is the role of journalists to provide this information in an accurate, comprehensive, timely and understandable manner.

The Society of Professional Journalists works to improve and protect journalism. The organization is the nation’s most broad-based journalism organization, dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior. Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, SPJ promotes the free flow of information vital to a well-informed citizenry; works to inspire and educate the next generation of journalists; and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and press.
