This fall was Onward State's second full semester at Penn State. Our readers are probably aware that we spent much of it preparing to become a business. We have paused those plans.


Onward State is not unique in our approach to covering the news; we are hardly the first to crossbreed snark with objectivity. New (and old) media outlets all over the world been forced to develop new paradigms of entrepreneurial journalism. Reacting to this new era is occasionally fruitful, but always tentative. Frankly, nobody knows what the media will look like five years from now.
