Positive Comments:
•Very good mix of
content, breadth of coverage
•Nice sports calendar and jock briefs.
•Good writing and style
•Lots of art/photos
•Good mix of reviews
•Good teasers across top of Page 1
•Good mix of sports stories
Constructive criticism comments:
•Too many “Is” in columns – it’s a forum page for readers,
not for staff
•Editorializing – example, Page 1, cutline for Band story – With
puzzlement, senior drum major (who said it was with puzzlement); Band story,
second to
last graf: “With all the hard work and dedication the band has put in through
the last couple of years, this trip for them is very much deserved.” Says
who?
•Nameplate: I don’t’ see connection between an Indian chief and
Booster.
•Eliminate
screens behind pull quote
•No differentiation on headline size, weight – each page needs a dominant
story and art
•It’s OK to add some world news, but readers can get that through
local paper. Better to do school news.
•Some very busy pages
•Work on quality/composition of photos
