The Paper, a documentary about The Collegian will are on PBS on December 11:
STATE COLLEGE – 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 Pennsylvania State University who, in the course of one crisis-filled year face crashing deadlines, ethical dilemmas, doubts and disagreements, all the while shouldering courses, homework and exams.
It appears The Paper was filmed around 2004-2005. I’ll post broadcast times when they become available. I’ll be very interested to learn what Collegian alumni think of this documentary.
