About The Student Life Newspaper

The Student Life is the oldest college newspaper in Southern California. It serves as the newspaper of record for the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of seven highly selective liberal arts colleges and graduate schools in Claremont, California, with a combined student body of around 7700. TSL is published weekly on Fridays during the academic year in print and online. Each issue contains coverage in four sections: News, Life and Style, Opinions, and Sports. TSL is entirely student written and managed, and employs a staff of approximately 120 students per semester, including writers, columnists, photographers, videographers, designers, copy specialists, business associates, and editors. It is funded primarily by the student governments of the colleges. TSL holds itself to the highest possible journalistic standards, providing an opportunity for 7C students to gain practical experience as journalists within a traditional newspaper structure. TSL is committed to developing the skill set of each staff member through workshops and one-on-one consultations with experienced staff members. As the largest and oldest news source on campus, TSL has built a reputation for covering breaking and controversial news in a thorough, respectful, and neutral manner. Beyond the news section, TSL engages with student life by spotlighting noteworthy student achievements, while also providing consistent coverage of cultural events and sports on campus. TSL also serves as a platform and forum for discussion that showcases the wide array of opinions and identities throughout the 7C community.
