From gay rights to racial bias, from plummeting circulation to “infotainment,” THE PAPER goes inside the newsroom to reveal the pressures and problems of today’s media. But this is not some big-city major daily. It’s The Daily Collegian, 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, THE PAPER tackles urgent media questions from the fresh perspective of tomorrow’s journalists. Screening at over 150 consulates around the world through the U.S. State Department.

Funding from Independent Lens, The Sundance Institute and ITVS. Screened at several festivals including St. Louis Int’l Film Festival, Cine Golden Eagle Award, Atlanta Film Festival, Independent Film Festival of Boston, Philadelphia Film Festival and Sidewalk Film Festival.
