Summary:
Documenting a crisis-filled year at Pennsylvania State University's campus newspaper, The Daily Collegian, this film explores the vital role of the press from a fresh perspective: the young journalists whose disillusionment and determination are shaping the news of tomorrow. At a time when Penn State is churning with heated rallies, political debates and community concerns, the year's biggest stories are the Collegian's own problems: falling circulation, lack of diversity in the newsroom, faulty coverage of sexual assault, and limited access to university officials. How will the newspaper stay financially viable as well as true to its mission of being the "independent eyes and ears" of Penn State? How will journalism students deal with such issues as decreasing circulation and rising barriers to investigative reporting?
