THE DISTRICT'S OWN CHANNELS

The one institution that publishes to every Granger household on a schedule is the school district, and its press belongs mostly to other legs. The Penn-Harris-Madison district's publications are carried here at the pointer strength the brief assigns them. At the district's seat — Penn High School stands in Mishawaka, and its student press is Mishawaka-seated and that city's whole — the record is documented in the 2006 Bittersweet yearbook: the Pennant, Penn's student newspaper, with sixty-four staff members, print issues and a webpage; and the Penn News Network, PNN, the student broadcast whose stated goal the yearbook quotes — "to get you your news, on time, every gold day." Granger's children staff both, and Granger's households are their audience; the desks stand across the line. The district's own voice runs in its corporation publications (the #PHMExcellence magazine-brochure the district prints for its community) and, in the current form, in the per-school newsletter stream — the Smore-format Kingsmen Nation at Penn and the elementary and middle-school newsletters the district's sites archive — in which the Granger-seated schools (Mary Frank, Prairie Vista, Horizon, Northpoint, Discovery) speak to their own catchments weekly. A student publication seated inside the designated place itself — a Discovery Middle School newspaper or broadcast — was tested and not found in the record reached; it stands as a named gap in the closing article, with the district's own archives as its settler.
