Previous Week's Speaker: CDT editor Bob Heisse

Bob Heisse from the Centre Daily Times spoke to the club about the paper. There are 25,000 papers in circulation and 34,000 on Sundays. Bob says he likes "people"stories and wants locals to do columns. He hopes to have more readership of the paper.

Bob says he sees the paper becoming a real county paper for more than State Colege and Bellefonte.

He is expanding football coverage and there will be a new look to the paper on Sundays. The Web site will be changed too. There will be a new section to run in the middle of the week for ages 18-34 (on campus and downtown delivery).
