The Penn State Student Newspaper Readership Program, now a nationwide model on college and university campuses, provides students with a broader perspective on global, national and local issues. It aims to enhance the learning environment on campus, increase students’ knowledge of domestic and world events and encourage a lifelong practice of daily newspaper readership.

The program was initiated in 1997 after University officials recognized that students could benefit from domestic and global news exposure by making newspapers widely available to them. At University Park, students have access to copies of The New York Times, USA Today, Centre Daily Times and The Daily Collegian at no extra charge with their PSU student ID cards.

More information about online versions of newspaper supported by the program can be found on the Newspaper Readership Program website.
