Topics

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

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.

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

The DU Clarion also published coverage of the first Presidential Debate of 2012, which was hosted at the university's Magness Arena.[1]

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

gollark: Mass deployment of nuclear power (and more funding for fusion research, which apparently has not received much), elimination of coal power plants, intra-city short-range electric carpools, sort of thing.

gollark: The incentives are not in favour of this.
