A fresh look at the American media
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.
The Paper takes an in-depth look at the pressures and problems of modern journalism as faced by the staff of a university newspaper embroiled in controversy. Following a year in the life of Pennsylvania State University's, The Daily Collegian, the film features first-time journalists struggling with the greatest challenges to the field: plummeting circulation, barriers to investigative reporting, and criticism of coverage. The Paper is by turns inspiring and astonishing in its exploration of tomorrow's journalists wrestling with today's national media questions.
