Whatcom Community College’s student-run newspaper for all things Whatcom.
The Horizon has been the student newspaper of Whatcom Community College since 1973. It is student-produced and funded primarily by S&A fees and advertising. The Horizon is considered a public forum and therefore, articles, commentaries, photographs, and cartoons are welcome from any enrolled students for possible publication (see below).
Editorials and reviews reflect the opinion of the author. Advertisements in the Horizon do not reflect the opinion of the newspaper. When funding allows, the print version of The Horizon is distributed free on and around campus, entitling each person to one copy.
Thank you for supporting democracy in education. Your paper, your voice!

Annette is a returning student on a non-degree track to add and update her skills towards a freelance writing and editing career. She stepped into the Managing Editor position at the beginning of Winter 2024 with a vision of bringing The Horizon back to a visible presence on campus: “During my previous time as a WCC student, The Horizon was an active part of student life. I would love to see it become an integral part of student life again.” She encourages all WCC students to submit articles, commentaries, photographs, and cartoons for consideration. In her free time Annette can be found spending time with her family, gardening, crafting, ‘hobby’ farming, and enjoying the beautiful PNW.
