Cathedral High School
Publication Name: TheMegaphone
Adviser: John Hannan
Editor: Alexandra Juckno
Judge’s edited issue: Vol. 83 • No. 3


Positive Comments:

• Clean pages with great photo/color reproduction – could crop some photos a little tighter
•Good dominant per page
•Good leads with active verbs
•Upcoming events – nice teaser, but run a little smaller (lots of wasted space there)
•Nice Photo Poll down side of forum page
•Teen Suicide headline nice change – other headlines all seem same in weight and size (vary them)
•Good use of pull quotes.
•You are a good contender for a Hoosier Star – you have good content coverage, good photos, writing. Work on the small stuff that keeps you out of the running. Nice publication.

Constructive criticism comments:

• Opinion columns are too “I” centered – should be a student forum page

•Face off – good idea, but look for more in-depth issues
•Editorial cartoon normally goes with staff editorial – yours went with columns, but wasn’t on same page
•Watch size on summary decks below head – should be three (or four at the most) lines.
