About

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!

We accept submissions for our magazine – comics, art, photography, articles, reviews. The audience for this publication is WCC students, staff, faculty, and the local community, so if you feel you have a piece that is relevant for that audience and provides nonfiction commentary or information, this might be the spot to send it! You may contact us at horizon@whatcom.edu.

Some of the Horizon editors also work on the Noisy Water Review, an annual anthology of outstanding WCC student writing and art. The NWR showcases the best academic and creative work done by WCC students, and provides you an opportunity to publish and get your work seen! If you are interested, you can submit your work here for consideration by the review board – a collection of WCC students, faculty, and staff member who enjoy your work!
