The Paper
ABC Clarion is a student newspaper run by Chinese students (hence the name, American-Born Chinese). We post articles relevant to the daily grind of high school students, as well as the struggles of Chinese/Asian high school students. Our paper is special not only for our cultural basis, but for our publication of personal essays/memoirs, and the occasional poem or art piece. Unlike other high school papers, it is entirely run by students, with an adult advisory to help format the paper and publish it on our parent paper, Global Chinese Times, a Chinese newspaper. Our articles are based in English (we're American born after all). If you are interested in joining our writing staff, email [email protected] with a 300-800 word application essay or sample article, and we'll consider you!
