A Fresh Look at the American Media.
A New York Times Pick of the Week
"What we see at the Collegian is a resonant microcosm: This paper's crucible is every paper's." - The Boston Globe
"These kids are fascinating... Provides insight into the problems facing all news organizations." - Philadelphia Inquirer
From gay rights to racial bias, from plummeting circulation to "infotainment," from burnt-out reporters to hard-bitten editors, THE PAPER goes inside the newsroom to reveal the drama of deadline journalism. But this is not some big-city major daily. It's The Daily Collegian, published by students at Penn State University who, in the course of one crisis-filled year confront urgent media issues in a gripping story that interweaves the drama of deadline journalism with the idealism of youth.
