Who produces the content on The Poly Post?

The Poly Post is produced by student journalists and editors at Cal Poly Pomona, where it serves as the campus student newspaper. That means its reporting, writing, and editorial decisions come from students rather than a professional outside newsroom — a useful fact when you're weighing its perspective, sourcing, and how you should cite or rely on it.

Who is behind the content

• Student journalists and editors create the publication's content, according to the site's own description of itself as "Cal Poly Pomona's Student Newspaper."
• Because it's a student-run outlet, the people reporting and editing are also members of the campus community they cover.
• The paper functions as a platform for student voices and campus reporting, not as an independent commercial or professional news organization.

What that means for how you read it

If you're evaluating credibility, treat it the way you would any student publication: strong for campus-specific reporting and student viewpoints, but worth cross-checking against other sources for high-stakes claims.

What it covers

Based on the site's own sections and headlines, coverage includes:

• News — campus developments such as "CPP to combine winter, spring terms beginning 2027" and coverage of recent earthquakes raising preparedness concerns at CPP
• Arts and Culture — cultural and creative coverage on campus
• Campus community events — for example, students commemorating the 9/11 anniversary through community service

This mix shows the paper's focus on issues and events directly relevant to Cal Poly Pomona students.

When to rely on it

• Use it for campus news, student reactions, event coverage, and a student perspective on university decisions.
• Verify elsewhere when a claim affects decisions with real consequences — enrollment, finances, safety — since student reporting may have fewer editorial resources than professional outlets.
• Cite it as a student newspaper when you need a campus-community source.
