The Clarion is the official student newspaper of the University of Denver. It serves as the voice of the Pioneers.

As of recent, the paper is printed on recycled newsprint containing post consumer waste.
Topics
The University of Denver Clarion covers university-related information in seven areas: News, Lifestyles, Opinions, Entertainment, Sports, Multimedia, and a "Special" section.
The Multimedia section consists of pieces written about various mainstream arts, such as music, movies, television shows, and University Senate Group events. In the online publication, the Multimedia section includes a student blog, Live Coverage. The "Special" section of the newspaper includes previews for various University sports teams such as men’s and women’s basketball and hockey. It also includes a guide to new University students.
Other Coverage
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]
