Founded in 1946, the Vanguard newspaper was originally the Vanport Extension College in Vanport, Oregon, which derives its name from Vanguard. The Vanport Extension School moved to downtown Portland, Oregon, after being destroyed by a flood on 30 May 1948 and eventually became Portland State University.

The tabloid newspaper with a circulation of 5,000 and is distributed free on the area of the Portland State campus. It is published Tuesday through Friday during the academic year and once a week during the summer. The Journal of approximately $ 300,000 annual operating budget is funded in part by student fees and partly by advertising revenue.

The Vanguard is entirely student run, employing about 60 paid student writers, photographers, graphic designers and editors. The newspaper and its staff have won several collegiate journalism awards, including the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association General Excellence Award and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Gold Circle Award.
