The Indiana Primary is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 3 and that means that the road to the White House is coming through the Michiana area. A group of passionate Penn journalism students are on the Campaign Trail providing coverage on Penn News Network to the rest of Penn High School. Since last Tuesday, April 26, three of the four Presidential Candidates have been made stops in our area, with Ted Cruz coming twice.
The students first covered Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton’s visit to Mishawaka’s AM General Plant on April 26 (click here to see the coverage). Republican hopeful Ted Cruz held a rally the following Thursday, April 28, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz held a rally at the Century Center in downtown South Bend (click here to see the coverage). Democrat Bernie Sanders also held a rally at the Century Center on Sunday, May 1 … and the students were there covering it with the rest of the local media.
This morning (Monday, May 2) Cruz came back to Michiana visiting Bravo Cave in Osceola, not far from Penn; however, with this event being during the school day, the students did not cover this event. But they will be back downtown this evening (Monday, May 2) when Republican Donald Trump rolls into town for his rally at the Century Center.
The Penn student reporters have even made the mainstream news themselves being profiled by WSBT-TV and ABC 57.
Be sure to keep checking PNN’s website for their coverage of the Sanders and Trump rallies.
