The Clarion

Advertising

The Clarion has been the place Madison College students turn to for news, information and entertainment since 1971. We know students better than any other local media outlet. Why? Because we are students ourselves. Everyone who works on The Clarion staff is a student, from the editor-in-chief to the guy who draws our cartoons. Because of this, we are able to connect with students in a way other publications can’t. We publish every other week throughout the school year, with a circulation of 3,000 issues. We’re distributed widely at the Truax campus and Downtown Education Center, West and South campus and reach as far away as the regional campuses in Fort Atkinson, Portage, Reedsburg, and Watertown.
