Manchester University's campus newspaper The Oak Leaves is published weekly, except for semester breaks during the academic year. Established in 1913, the paper serves as a forum for community commentary and opinion, and as a vehicle for news that relates to the Manchester campus.

The Oak Leaves is edited by current Manchester students, who are appointed by the faculty advisor. Unpaid staff writers are often members of journalism or editing classes, but any student is welcome to work for the paper as an extra-curricular activity. Students interested in writing, copy editing, photography, advertising, business and newspaper design are encouraged to get involved. Any full-time student may apply for an editorial or managerial position. For more information, emailoakleaves@manchester.edu.
