• “No holds barred” reporting at Penn State. State College and Penn State University are served by really good newspapers that are not holding back “just because the news is not good news … not pretty news … in fact, ugly news.” The Daily Collegian and The Centre Daily Times are doing what responsible media do. They report the news as it happens … not just the gooey, happy, rumor and “good old boy” news. Bravo! Great job chronicling your communities, Daily Collegian and Centre Daily Times.
