Editorial: Peer pressure
It has been said that journalists write the first draft of history. Newspaper reporters operate under a tremendous amount of pressure in the hope of delivering a representative document of the moment.

We know we don’t always get the story right, but at the Vanguard we try very hard to serve the PSU community, and we’d like to think that we succeed more often than we fail. Last Friday, the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association gave us even more reason to think that this is the case.
