The Harrisburg Patriot-News ran a front-page editorial on Tuesday calling on Penn State University President Graham Spanier to resign over his failure to “do what is right – for his school, or more importantly for the alleged victims of coaching legend Jerry Sandusky.”
The strongly worded editorial takes up the entire front page, an according the editor David Newhouse, it was inspired by the 9-11 anniversary front page from its sister paper the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
Newhouse told newspaper design blogger Charles Apple that he expected substantial negative feedback to the editorial. “Instead,” he says, “nearly all the feedback has been positive, some extremely so.”
