The Poly Post, Cal Poly Pomona's student run newspaper, has been providing coverage of the campus and local community, for the school's student body and faculty since 1940. The Poly Post is an independent publication supported primarily by advertising revenue. Each semester, a staff of student journalists provides news to the campus community through print and the web every Tuesday. In addition to serving as a valuable news source for the university, The Poly Post is a learning lab for students in the fields of print journalism, photojournalism and multimedia journalism. This follows the university’s polytechnic approach, “learn by doing.”
