Plot
From gay rights to racial bias, from plummeting circulation to “infotainment,” go inside the newsroom to witness the pressures and problems of today’s media. But not some big-city major daily. The Daily Collegian is published by students at Penn State University who, in the course of one crisis-filled year, struggle to save their paper. Interweaving the drama of deadline journalism with the energy and idealism of youth, urgent media questions are tackled from the fresh perspective of tomorrow’s journalists.
