The Oracle is the long-established student-run newspaper based on the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida. As of fall 2022, we are no longer doing print production, but we are still posting stories on our website four days a week — Monday through Thursday.

The paper has earned a national reputation for excellence, receiving numerous national and regional awards for its journalism, including being voted by the Society of Professional Journalists as the Best College Daily in the Nation in 1990, and is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame.

The Oracle has served as a training ground on the Tampa campus for journalists and others devoted to the idea of a free press.
