Onward State is Penn State’s blog.
Since publishing our first post on November 17, 2008, Onward State has established itself as one of the quickest and most informative places for Penn State students, faculty, staff, and alumni to find the news that matters most to them. Our team of writers, photographers, videographers, and editors works hard to produce content that is, above all else, interesting and relevant.
Onward State in the News
In February 2009, the U.S. News & World Report’s Paper Trail Blog included Onward State in its annual Best of College Newspapers competition. Competing against older sites such as Bwog and Wesleying in the Best Alternative Media Outlet category, we ended up claiming the title. The Daily Collegian wrote about the victory.
In January 2010, the Chronicle of Higher Education profiled Onward State. During that same month, Onward State repeated as Best Alternative Media Outlet champs.
In March 2010, Mashable examined how Onward State and its differences with The Daily Collegian typify the old/new media divide.
