The Scranton paper sends a reporter to Africa

Kudos to The Times-Tribune of Scranton, which sent reporter Sarah Hofius to Uganda and Tanzania for a week to report on Marywood University's work to improve Catholic education in the African countries. The stories are relentlessly glowing in their portrayal of the church's work -- "Across the continent, Catholic sisters are stepping in where no one else will" -- but the newspaper deserves credit for being ambitious enough to undertake the stories.

Did the paper pay her way or did Marywood?

Could you believe she waited until the 7th paragraph to mention the word classroom????? OMG!!! Class act. That's worse than Ed Lewis waiting unil the 6th paragraph to mention the word "books" in his story about the Hoyt roof collapse. Puuuuuuu----lllleeze!!!!!
