Chicago Arts and Communication magazine was first published in 1991, begun as an annual class project. It explored subjects taught at Columbia College Chicago and how these disciplines were practiced in the city of Chicago. Changing its name in 1997 to Echo, it remains focused on arts and communication, continuing to explore the campus and Chicago intersection, delivering campus, local, national, and international topics of interest to the Columbia community. The publication is written, photographed, and edited by current students of the College.
