The film follows The Spirit’s reporters as they gather news in the Punxsutawney area. It examines the network of contacts used by them in keeping up with the news and explores the occasionally ambivalent attitude reporters and sources have toward one another. By documenting the relationship between staffers and townsfolk, the film elucidates values peculiar to rural communities. Produced by P J O’Connell for Penn State Public Broadcasting and The Rural America Documentary Project. ©1976
