The Telescope newspaper is student-run and independent from Palomar College. Students have been reporting and writing about Palomar College since 1948, a year after the college opened. The Telescope stopped printing during the 2020 pandemic and choose to stay online only to focus on technological advances in journalism. Now, we have a robust news website, which won Best of Show in the San Diego County fair in 2024. The Telescope can also be found on Instagram the_telescope and Tiktok thetelescopepalomar.
