High School Paper Reviews

Saint Ignatius Spirit
-The Good

• The front page had a schedule of events around the school, which helps to keep students informed about what's going on
• The question of the week was a creative and innovative touch, mixing multiple brands of media to establish a better following
• Very professionally looking, has the look of a real newspaper
  

-The Bad

• Low quality images on the front page of the newspaper
• Very religiously centered, takes away a some of the objectivity that a newspaper is supposed to have
• Didn't use space as effectively as they could have 

The Pritzker Press

-The Good

• Several restaurant reviews gave the feeling that the paper was more connected than just with school news 
• For a staff size of 5, to be able to produce a pretty full-length newspaper on such a short time schedule is pretty impressive
• A few advertisements throughout the paper give it a more professional feel, and actually could be a way to increase revenue if done right with the Beacon
  

-The Bad

• None of the newspaper was in color, doesn't draw attention in the way that it could have very easily
• Frankly, it was a pretty boring newspaper, and a lot of the stories were purely informational, without distinct writing style from the various journalists
• The paper was of a low quality, and gave a non-professional vibe, much like our current paper source

The Lane Tech Warrior
-The Good

• The graphics and photographs in the paper were very strong, and if we utilized our resources (camerapeople, editors) more, I think we could get images of the same caliber
• The paper was of nice quality, and right off the bat left a good impression in my mind about the paper
• The amount of pages Lane is able to produce without having a newspaper production class is very impressive
  

-The Bad

• The text was small, and at some points hard to read
• Articles seemed to be just a little too long; the editors could've trimmed a lot of the fat and not lost too much of the sentiment behind the articles 
• Only about half of the articles had a headshot before them, and that kind of inconsistency was pretty unprofessional
