More General News

The assignment was to submit two photos that depict general news. This news wasn't general, but it was the biggest story this school year for any Penn Stater. Here are a few shots from the Joe Paterno funeral procession.

Students, fans and community members take photos with their phones and cameras as the funeral procession of Penn State former head football coach Joe Paterno makes its way through Penn State campus on Jan. 25, 2012 in State College, Pa.
