What Is The Poly Post?

The Poly Post is the student newspaper of Cal Poly Pomona (CPP). It publishes campus-focused journalism — news, arts and culture, and student life coverage — written for the CPP community. If you are looking for reporting on university decisions, campus events, or student perspectives at Cal Poly Pomona, this is the publication to check.

What it covers

The paper's sections and story selection point to a campus-first editorial scope:

• News — institutional and campus developments. A current example is the report that CPP will combine its winter and spring terms beginning in 2027.
• Campus life and community — coverage of how students mark events and respond to issues. Recent examples include students commemorating the 9/11 anniversary through community service, and reporting on recent earthquakes raising concerns about preparedness at CPP.
• Arts and Culture — a standing section for creative and cultural coverage on and around campus.

Who produces it

The Poly Post is a student newspaper, which means its reporting is produced by student journalists. That shapes what you get: coverage written from inside the campus community, with the access and perspective that comes with being part of it. It also means the publication functions as a training ground for student reporters and editors, so the scope stays centered on Cal Poly Pomona rather than regional or national news.

When to use it

The Poly Post is useful when you want:

• A campus-level account of a decision or policy change at CPP
• Student reaction and community response to events affecting the campus
• Coverage of arts, culture, and student activities at Cal Poly Pomona

It is not a general-purpose news source, and it is not the university's official communications channel — it is independent student journalism about the campus. For official institutional announcements, go to CPP directly; for how those announcements are reported and received on campus, The Poly Post is the relevant source.
