The USF Oracle is a daily newspaper in Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida, USA published for school students, faculty and alumni.
The newspaper is published 4 days each week, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
The Oracle, the University of South Florida's (USF) student-run newspaper, made history when it was first published on September 6, 1966. It was the first college newspaper in the United States to feature full color photographs on the front page of each issue. The Oracle replaced the USF Campus Edition of the now-defunct Tampa Times, which had previously served as the school's news publication. In 1966, English professor Arthur M. Sanderson entered into an agreement with the St. Petersburg Times to print an entire stand-alone newspaper which would be distributed on campus each Wednesday. Associate communications professor and Oracle general manager Steve Yates, editor-in-chief Harry Haigley and photographer/reporter Tony Zappone collaborated in naming it The Oracle, a Greek term signifying an infallible authority, among other things. (One consideration had been to name it the "USF Bull Sheet.")
Circulation estimate: 12,000
