When it comes to The Clarion and Us Weekly, in a way, we really aren’t that different. We are both a news platform that works hard to deliver interesting and well-written stories to the public. But when it comes to content genre, Us Weekly focuses more on pop culture news, while The Clarion focuses on news mostly relating to Hawthorne High School. However, I thought it would be fun to switch it up a little bit, by taking a page out of Us magazine (quite literally) and completing a column they are very well known for. 25 Facts About Me is a column Us does where they feature a different celebrity every week and the celebrity lists 25 facts the public may not know about them. This week in The Clarion, the featured celebrity is my cheerleading coach, Drew Dehart.
