Clareification is the weekly student newspaper of Clare College, Cambridge, a college of Cambridge University. One of the things which marks out Clare as a particularly friendly and informal college is the staff's ongoing toleration of this publication. Every week in term, students write satirical articles mocking Cambridge traditions, report on silly student antics, and print college gossip in the infamous "Clareifornication" column. Clareification evolved gradually in the mid-late 1990s as a newsletter of the Union of Clare Students which was padded out with comedy articles, and gradually turned into a weekly 8 page comedy paper with only the occasional piece of real news. Spoof formattings of real-life newspapers and magazines are common. It is widely read by Clare students on Friday lunchtimes with fish and chips, but academic opinion of it is sharply divided.
