From the supplier: Many newspapers with reputations for excellence in investigative journalism continue to avoid substantive coverage of local colleges and universities. The coverage that they do offer is usually superficial and unprovocative. Members of the larger national media have exposed corruption and pork barrel scandals and other newsworthy events. However, journalists on a local and regional level tend to protect their campuses from such scrutiny. This protection may be due to the staff's idealization of their collegiate days and a desire to maintain the reputation of their alma mater.
