What Kinds of Stories Does the Citrus College Clarion Cover?

Updated

ccclarion.com is the website of the Citrus College Clarion, a student-run news outlet covering Citrus College and the surrounding community. Its published stories fall into a few clear categories: campus athletics, theater and performing arts, campus crime and student government, student feature profiles, and local community issues. If you want campus sports results, arts coverage, or reporting on local civic debates, this is the kind of site to check.

Campus Athletics

The site covers Citrus College teams with game recaps and program features. Examples from the published stories include:

  • A feature on the start of a new era for Citrus men's soccer under Coach Steve Jimenez.
  • A recap of Citrus Volleyball's five-set loss to Bakersfield City College in its conference home opener, including both teams' records.

Coverage tends to combine results with context about the season and the people involved, rather than just scores.

Theater and Performing Arts

Arts and entertainment is a substantial part of the site. Stories include reviews of campus theater productions, such as the Citrus Theatre Company's opening night of "Dog Sees God," and coverage of events at the Haugh Performing Arts Center, including a Selena Quintanilla tribute show performed by the Anything for Salinas Band. These pieces describe the event, the turnout, and the performance itself.

Campus Crime and Student Government

The site also reports on campus safety and student governance. One example is a story on a former Associated Students of Citrus College legislative liaison who was arrested and later released in connection with a criminal charge. This category is where institutional and accountability reporting appears.

Student Features and Career Programs

Feature stories profile students and programs, such as a piece on students pursuing automotive careers at Citrus College. These are useful if you want a sense of what programs exist and what student experience looks like.

Local Community News

Coverage extends beyond campus to nearby civic issues. One example is reporting on the City of Claremont's public comment period for the Village South townhome project, which summarized generally unfavorable public feedback.
