There are two things on the back of Colin Kavanaugh's laptop. The first is a sticker of the Daily Pennsylvanian. The second is a political bumper sticker. Colin Kavanaugh's laptop goes further to explain him than words ever could -- journalism and politics are the two things he loves most. They also happen to be the two things he is most talented in. Colin is not only an incredible writer and reporter; he has found his specialty early. After covering Sens. Clinton and Obama's mad dash through Philadelphia in the six weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania primary, Colin has gained experience and produced incredible work for the DP.

One of Colin greatest strengths as a reporter is his knowledge about his beat, politics and the thorough context and depth he adds to his articles. There is probably no one on Penn's campus who knows more about politics than Colin, and his articles for the DP reflect this. Especially during the weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania primary, Colin's stories -- including those on routine campaign stops -- provided readers with a deep and complete understanding of the issues the candidates discussed.
