READ

As Eau Claire’s primary daily newspaper, the Leader-Telegram is your source for the most current regional news. While their website requires a subscription, the Leader-Telegram newspaper is offered for free as part of the university’s readership program, along with The New York Times and USA Today.

Volume One, the Chippewa Valley’s arts, culture and entertainment magazine, is released bimonthly and can be picked up for free from Volume One newsstands almost anywhere in Eau Claire — in campus buildings, at coffee shops, at restaurants along Water Street and even at the Oakwood Mall. V1 includes stories and profiles on local artists, musicians and events, as well as an in-depth event listing in the back of every issue to provide readers with details on the hippest happenins’ all over the Chippewa Valley.

UW-Eau Claire’s student newspaper founded in 1923, which you, lucky reader, are holding right now. New issues of The Spectator are released every Thursday and can be found on The Spectator newsstands in every campus building.
