Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Patriot-News Gets Pulitzer for Sanduskygate

Posted on Written by

AP blurb: “The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. ??? ???? , has won the Pulitzer in local reporting for breaking the Penn State sexual abuse scandal that eventually brought down legendary football coach Joe Paterno.”

I think lead crime reporter Sara Ganim did one helluva job, although the AP got it wrong. It was cancer, not Ganim’s reporting, that brought Paterno down. ??? ????? ?? ???????? ????? He would have retired one way or the other. ???? ?????? ?????

Ganim left the crime desk of the Centre Daily Times to join the Patriot-News midway through her investigation.

PennLive.com has the full scoop, including the particular stories that won the Pulitzer. Congratulations to them, especially Sara Ganim!

Sandusky Case Podcast

Sara Ganim of the Harrisburg Patriot-News
Sara Ganim

Sara Ganim is the lead reporter for the Harrisburg Patriot-News for the sordid Sandusky affair. She is a 2008 Penn State grad who started as crime reporter for the Centre Daily Times and then moved over to the Patriot-News. Dan Wetzel’s current podcast for Rivals features a lengthy discussion of the Sandusky affair between Sara and Dan.

They touch upon all the current subjects about which you undoubtedly have questions, including the strange case of the missing Centre County DA, Ray Gricar, what the Costas interview accomplished, and where this thing is going once it gets to trial. You’ll find that Ms. Ganim is lucid, engaged, and extremely knowledgeable. ???? ???????

I highly recommend listening to this compelling podcast if you have any interest in the Sandusky affair at all.
