ccclarion.com

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.

How to Use the Site

Each story carries a byline and a publication date, so you can judge how current a piece is. Because the site is student-produced, expect campus-level reporting rather than regional or national news. For a quick read on what's happening at Citrus College and in the surrounding area, browsing the section that matches your interest is the most direct approach.

To find a story on cccclarion.com, start from the homepage feed: every item is labeled with a section (Sports, Features, Arts & Entertainment, Campus Crime, Community News, Reviews, Theatre, Music, Student Features, VolleyBall) and shows a headline, publication date, and author byline. Scan or search the page for the headline you remember, then use the section label or byline to browse related coverage. This works best when you know at least part of the headline, the section, or the writer's name.

Browse by section label

The homepage organizes stories under visible section tags rather than a single menu. Examples from the current front page:

Some stories carry two labels (for example, "Arts & Entertainment" plus "Music"). If a story doesn't appear under the first label you try, check the second one.

Locate a story by headline and date

Each feed item pairs the headline with a publication date, which helps when several stories cover the same topic. Current examples:

• Soccer feature — October 14, 2026
• "Dog Sees God" review — October 14, 2026
• Campus crime story — October 12, 2026 (updated October 13, 2026)
• Automotive feature — October 8, 2026 (updated October 13, 2026)
• Selena tribute — October 5, 2026 (updated October 13, 2026)
• Volleyball recap — October 2, 2026 (updated October 13, 2026)
• Claremont Village South — October 2, 2026 (updated October 13, 2026)

Because many items share an update date, use the original publication date plus the headline to tell them apart.

Find more work by the same writer

Bylines appear at the end of each summary. Writers visible on the current page include Rory Byrne, Sophia Chapman, Allison Chung, Emma Fischer, Hannah Chang, Bianca Rodriguez Gonzalez, and Connor Fegert. If you liked one piece, search the page for the byline to surface that writer's other stories.

Common snags

• No search box is visible in the page content. Use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) on the homepage and type a distinctive word from the headline.
• Headlines are truncated in the feed ("…Continue Reading"). Match on the first several words, not the full title.
• Section names are inconsistent — "VolleyBall" is capitalized as one word, and some stories sit under two categories. Try the broader label (Sports, Arts & Entertainment) if the narrow one fails.
• Dates can mislead. A story published October 2 may show October 13 as its update date; sort by the earlier date when you know roughly when it ran.

If you can recall the section and approximate date, the feed order plus the label is usually enough to reach the article in one pass.

ccclarion.com is the website of the Clarion, a student news publication covering Citrus College and the surrounding community. It publishes campus news, sports coverage, arts and entertainment reviews, campus crime reports, and community news, with articles written by student contributors and dated with bylines.

What the site covers

The homepage is organized into labeled sections, and each story carries a section tag, a headline, a publication date, and an author byline. The sections visible on the page are:

• Features — campus and student life stories
• Sports — coverage of Citrus College teams
• Arts & Entertainment — theatre, music, and reviews
• Campus Crime — crime and public safety reporting tied to the campus
• Community News — local stories from the surrounding area
• Reviews and Theatre — subcategories under Arts & Entertainment
• Student Features — profiles of students and programs

Examples of published stories

The mix of content shows how the publication splits its attention between the college and the wider community:

Who writes it

Articles are attributed to individual student contributors — for example Rory Byrne, Sophia Chapman, Allison Chung, Emma Fischer, Hannah Chang, Bianca Rodriguez Gonzalez, and Connor Fegert. Bylines and dates appear on each story, so readers can check who reported a piece and when it ran.

When to use it

Use cccclarion.com if you want student-reported coverage of Citrus College events, athletics, performances, and campus issues, or local news from nearby communities such as Claremont. It is a news site, not an official college administrative page — for enrollment, schedules, or official policies, go to the college's own site instead.

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:

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

1. Check Citrus College's own site for a student newspaper or journalism program listing, and see whether it links to this domain.
2. Look for a masthead or "About" page on cccclarion.com naming advisers, a journalism department, or a publishing entity.
3. Contact the college's media relations or journalism department and ask directly whether the outlet is affiliated.
4. 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.

ccclarion.com publishes dated news and feature stories, and its most recent items are from October 2026. Each article carries an explicit publication date, and the site presents stories in a reverse-chronological feed, so the newest coverage appears first while older articles remain accessible further down or through the archive. Recency therefore depends on when you visit: the top of the feed reflects the latest publishing cycle, not a fixed snapshot.

How dates appear on the site

The homepage excerpt shows a consistent pattern: a headline, a date (sometimes two, likely publication and update), an author byline, and a short teaser ending in "Continue Reading." Examples from the visible feed:

Two things stand out. First, several stories show a later "updated" date than their original publication date, which suggests editors revise pieces after they go live. Second, the feed mixes campus news (student government, athletics, theatre) with community coverage (Claremont's Village South plan), so "current" applies to a broader local scope than just the college.

What the feed structure tells you about freshness

The ordering is reverse-chronological by original publication date, not by update date. A story published October 2 but updated October 13 still sits below an October 14 story. If you are checking whether a topic has new developments, sort by the update date in the byline area rather than assuming the top item is the most recently revised.

The visible spread—October 2 to October 14, 2026—covers roughly two weeks of publishing. That density suggests a regular cadence during the academic term, but the excerpt alone cannot confirm whether the site publishes through breaks or how often it posts. Treat the feed as the source of truth for what is newest at the moment you load it.

Practical checks before relying on a story

• Confirm the date on the article page, not just the teaser. The homepage shows dates, but the article itself is where you verify publication and any update timestamp.
• Check for an "updated" line. Stories with two dates have been revised; the later date is the one to cite if you need the current version.
• Look at the section tag. Campus crime and community news may be updated as situations develop, while reviews and features are typically static after publication.
• Use the archive for older coverage. Older posts remain available alongside newer ones, so a story dropping off the visible feed does not mean it was removed.

What this means for you

If you need the latest campus or local coverage, start at the top of the feed and confirm dates on the article pages. If you are citing a story, use the most recent date shown and note whether it was updated. If you are researching a past event, the archive keeps older dated articles reachable, so recency is a matter of where you look rather than whether the material exists.
