The Spectator
The Spectator is PennWest Edinboro's campus newspaper published online by students under the direction of a faculty adviser. The Spectator started in 1935, but was not the first Edinboro student newspaper - the Normal News was printed in 1865. Through the years, The Spectator has been given opportunities to cover famous people such as President William Howard Taft in 1912 poet Robert Frost in 1940.
PennWest has promoted 22 of its faculty for the 2025-2026 academic year.

K-pop Demon Hunters is a film that came seemingly out of nowhere on Netflix and became so popular that it is breaking ground in other ways as well. The film has a great message for kids and teens while being enjoyable enough for adults not to get sick of it easily.
