About Us

The Clarion is the official student newspaper of the University of Denver, serving as the community's voice. Founded in 1899, it covers campus and local stories with the highest level of journalistic integrity possible. Every article is published weekly at duclarion.com, which reaches more than 50,000 viewers. The Clarion does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the faculty, staff and/or administration of DU, and the opinions expressed by columnists and contributing writers do not necessarily reflect those of the Clarion. New to the Clarion? Thinking about joining? Here's what you need to know: We welcome undergraduates and graduate students of all skill levels, political affiliations, races, genders, sexual orientations, etc. We cover News, Opinions, Sports and Arts & Life. We are seeking writers, photographers, illustrators, videographers, editors and the like. None of those suit you? We need loyal readers to follow us on social and read our website! No experience necessary! The Clarion is a great way to improve your writing, photography, etc. We are flexible. We meet at 6 p.m. in the Academic or Community Commons room 340. But if that doesn't work for your schedule, email duclarioneditor@gmail.com. We will send the weekly pitch list, so you can still contribute. If you're having a particularly busy quarter, feel free to take a few weeks off and come back to us another time. This is a great resume builder, especially if you study things like media, journalism, film, writing, business, political science, etc. There are also paid positions available. If you work hard for us, you may get the opportunity to apply for a staff position or internship. If you are interested in contributing, contact our Editor-in-Chief at duclarioneditor@gmail.com
