Topics edit

The Clarion covers stories happening on the University of Denver's campus, and local stories happening in Colorado in sections such as News, Opinions, Sports and Arts & Life.

Other coverage edit

The Clarion is active on multiple social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

Although the DU Clarion has covered many controversial topics throughout the duration of its presence on the DU campus, coverage by outside sources has been somewhat limited. However, some stories have received attention from beyond the university’s campus.[citation needed]

On January 12, 2010, an article titled "Fancy That: Seven women you meet at DU" was published in the opinion section of the Clarion.[2] The article sparked much debate.[3] The article itself was eventually removed from the website and created enough buzz to generate a petition.[citation needed]

The DU Clarion also published coverage of the first United States presidential debate of 2012, which was hosted at the university's Magness Arena.[4]

During the 2018-2019 school year, The Clarion began the "Driscoll Green Cannabis Column," where writers can publish articles related to cannabis.[5] It is one of the few college newspapers to feature a column on cannabis.[citation needed]

In April 2024, DU Clarion resumed its weekly print edition after a four year absence.[1]
