<p>What's the difference between these two? </p>
<p>Also the admissions office has been sending me the Chronicle in the mail. Has any one received this subscription too?</p>
<p>mmm, significant difference.</p>
<p>Chicago Chronicle is published by the U of C Public Relations people. It's a newspaper with only good news in it. It's quite interesting.</p>
<p>The Chicago Maroon is a student-run paper, running both things laudatory and critical about the school.</p>
<p>The Chronicle is more for alumni (and is thus a bit more like propaganda), and the Maroon is directed more towards students.</p>
<p>Yes, I have received 3 issues of the Chronicle. I find it uninteresting to read.</p>
<p>I've been getting the Chronicle...I like it. It's cool to see what's going down in Chi-town. (yes, I rhymed and you liked it) I kinda spazz out whenever it comes in the mail. I love UChicago.</p>
<p>^^Yeah same here! But I wish there were more references to the lives of undergraduates.</p>
<p>Read the Maroon online! Newly revamped website-- it's a little web 2.0, but still sparkly:</p>
<p>Chicago</a> Maroon</p>
<p>Of the regular publications:</p>
<p>The Shady Dealer is basically the onion for campus. It comes out every month-or-so, and is awesome. No site.</p>
<p>The Chicago Weekly is a UChi student paper published with help from NewCity, an Arts weekly. It is campus news/politics/criticism and greater south-side culture stuff. They are chicagoweekly.net</p>
<p>The Maroon is a much more comprehensive newspaper, and twice as frequent, but it is also known to take somewhat extreme positions on both sides editorially, and misrepresent touchy issues. Most people I know read it, most don't take it too seriously. The weekly covers less and is read less, but is a somewhat more reliable paper.</p>
<p>There are also countless less frequent publications, litmags, critical journals, political journals, Korean poetry journals, photo magazines...</p>
<p>Thanks for the info guys! I'll be sure to check out the Maroon online.</p>
<p>I've been getting it in the mail, too . . . it makes me :-) . When I got the first issue I was like ??? Are they sending these to all the EA accepteds? It seems like a ton of paper and postage, but I'm glad they do it. :-)</p>
