EnglishIs the Clarion at cccclarion.com an official Citrus College publication?
Updated
ccclarion.com publishes student-life and campus news about Citrus College — sports, theatre, student government, campus crime, and community events — but the pages available here do not state an official affiliation with the college. Treat it as a Citrus College–focused news site whose official status you should confirm through Citrus College itself before relying on it as the college's voice.
What the site actually publishes
The homepage is a rolling feed of dated, bylined articles, mostly about people and events connected to Citrus College:
| Section | Example story | Byline / date |
|---|---|---|
| Sports | "A new era of Citrus men's soccer begins under Coach Steve Jimenez" | Rory Byrne, Oct. 14, 2026 |
| Arts & Entertainment | Review of Citrus Theatre Company's "Dog Sees God" | Sophia Chapman, Oct. 14, 2026 |
| Campus Crime | Former student government member convicted of possession of child pornography | Allison Chung, Oct. 12–13, 2026 |
| Student Features | "The drive for automotive" — automotive career pathway at Citrus | Emma Fischer, Oct. 8–13, 2026 |
| Community News | Claremont's Village South Plan public comment period | Connor Fegert, Oct. 2–13, 2026 |
Two patterns stand out. First, coverage is anchored to Citrus College institutions — the Haugh Performing Arts Center, Citrus Theatre Company, Associated Students of Citrus College, and the athletics teams. Second, the site also reaches beyond campus into local municipal news (the Claremont Village South project), which is typical of a community-facing outlet rather than a strictly institutional one.
Why the official-status question matters
If you are citing the site for a class assignment, a news tip, or a public comment, the distinction changes how you should attribute it:
- As a student publication — attribute to the outlet and the individual reporter, as you would any newspaper.
- As an official college channel — you would expect statements to carry institutional authority. Nothing in the available page evidence establishes that.
The site's own name field is empty ("(no title)"), and there is no "About," masthead, or publisher statement in the material reviewed. That absence is not proof either way; it simply means the claim can't be verified from the site alone.
How to verify before you rely on it
- Check Citrus College's own site for a student newspaper or journalism program listing, and see whether it links to this domain.
- Look for a masthead or "About" page on cccclarion.com naming advisers, a journalism department, or a publishing entity.
- Contact the college's media relations or journalism department and ask directly whether the outlet is affiliated.
- Cross-check a specific story against a college press release or an independent local outlet covering the same event.
If steps 1–3 come back empty, cite the site as an independent Citrus-focused publication and name the reporter and date, which the articles do provide.
Practical takeaways for readers
- Useful for: campus event coverage, student athletics results, theatre reviews, and student-life features with named reporters and dates.
- Not sufficient for: official college policy, enrollment or financial aid information, or statements you need to attribute to the institution.
- Watch for: articles that mix campus and municipal news — check which body a claim is actually about before quoting it.
