About Us

The Caravan is the bi-lingual weekly student newspaper of the American University in Cairo, offering the community a combination of reporting and commentary on campus life, politics, popular arts and culture and the latest developments in the worlds of business, science and technology in both English and Arabic. Our guiding mantra and endeavor is to carry the voice of the AUC community;both the print and online editions are entirely student-run by a team of dedicated staff members, freelancers and community contributors. The Caravan is as much an institution as the university itself, tracing its roots back to its foundation in 1921. The Caravan is a registered Egyptian newspaper that complies fully with Egyptian publication law. Its mission and function is to:

• Be the voice of the community, including the student body, faculty, staff and alumni.
• Provide coverage of events that involve the AUC community, directly and indirectly.
• Consistently and accurately deliver news, features, and analysis of interest, significance or utility to readers.
• Provide a forum for open and civil discourse on community concerns.
• Exercise, develop and refine student journalistic skills and creativity.
• Cultivate ethical and professional attitudes and standards in student journalists.
