the author makes sense in trying to point out the harm in being a number one party school. he also tries to point out the problem of alcohol on college campuses especially state school. Penn State is merely the face of the problems he is trying to get across to the audience. the reporter makes note that binge drinking is a major problem in college life and even in high school. he also points out that tail gating and public drinking makes the atmosphere seem to make underage and binge drinking okay to do. i feel that these are accurate claims. the reporter also said the atmosphere at Penn State is inviting and very cultural so its hard to resist doing it with fellow peers. the reporter does a great job of getting quotes and talking to students about specific issues they are trying get across to the audience. i don't like what some of the students were saying about the university. they were kind of bad mouthing the university to the point to make it seem as if they were mad to be here of they never took place in any of the activities. though Penn State parties a lot it is still respected as one of the most priestliest universities in the country. there are a number of college kids here in the middle of no where. they come to college to get an education and to party. some kids do go further than they should when they drink but its not Penn State that's making this happen. they would do this anywhere. the author wants to represent the views of the non college students who live in state college. they families who live here. he wants to represent the people who aren't drunk that watch and are affected by some of the drunk people. my overall feelings about this broadcast is that it shows some of the stuff that goes on on campus, but it makes Penn State seem to be a bad place and an atmosphere where people are drunks and don't get anything done. i feel this is a one sided investigation.
