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\u00a0website<\/a>, which won Best of Show in the San Diego County fair in 2024 and numerous other awards since, including this latest round in Spring 2026. The Telescope can also be found on Instagram the_telescope.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
