PITTSBURG -- Resources and strengths that Pittsburg State University can offer The Morning Sun -- Pittsburg’s newspaper since 1887 – will help prop it up at a time when newspapers across the country are folding. Josh Letner, who graduated from Pitt State in 2009 and 2010, went on to a career in the radio and newspaper industry and earned awards for his coverage of the May 22, 2011, tornado in Joplin. He taught in the Communication Department for four years and since 2017 has overseen the publication of the university’s student newspaper and yearbook.
