The Columbia Chronicle

The Columbia Chronicle is the college’s student newspaper that distributes 7,000 free newspapers every Monday morning during our fall and spring semesters. The Chronicle is delivered to more than 40 campus locations, as well as 35-plus additional news stands throughout the South Loop community.

Since 1966, The Columbia Chronicle has been serving the Columbia College community by reporting up-to-date news and events throughout its four sections: Campus, Commentary, Arts & Culture and Metro.

Columbia College is home to the unique atmosphere of an urban campus, allowing students to experience decades of culture during their daily commute. The college has created an identity based on creativity, professionalism, and innovative ideas.

Columbia is the country’s largest arts and communications college. With an ever growing student population, the college currently has an enrollment of more than 12,500 students with 3,500 living on campus. Because Columbia is a commuter school, we use the city as our playground and rely on our campus’ newspaper to steer us toward new and interesting things happening in our city.

By choosing to reach out to this demographic, you are not just reaching “regular college students,” you are targeting artists, entertainers, communicators, performers, and media technicians that are diligently working their way through school to become some of the country’s finest professionals.

There are a variety of ways to reach this diverse market: The Columbia Chronicle, www.ColumbiaChronicle.com, and our sister publication ECHO magazine.
