cool cans story--no seriously i wanna know if we beat the record..follow up maybe?

picture of the cards is a little weird on the front i mean i understand it..but still..blur it or something dont just put black bars over it

very nice review of Tempest-a little wordy though..i mean great adjectives and everything but possibly overboard. Great pictures though! Glad they finally worked

this ad about the village with sally..umm makes me laugh

rso of the week--good info, i love santas miracle fund..but i even heard him say that he didnt' want just a picture of him for it..its not about him..get some old pictures from last yaer i know there are some.

interesting tattoo story--front page worthy..idk..

dishes for wishes..yay!!!

i'm glad someone finally interviewed the horse guy at that 441 church..i've always wondered..great story idea!! great story, considering where the info was coming from and on short notice.

i like the name that bobcat art on the sports page..adding some color and spice..nice.

not a big fan of the Q&A format..what happened to bobchat?

Nov 9

Good article on Carmen Bass...did her justice. upbeat but yet very somber and was a good rememberance..
um wow whats up with the runaway b-ball player..crazy
really really like the house ad..high five to mary and christa

like the new cartoons..finally something i actually understand and is funny!

airing gcsus dirty laundry-good picture, good story. very interesting and informatitive.
drug busts-random story--it starts out with people stealing food from sodexho..very random, ends better but still random--
registrar- well written and informative. All that stuff is annyoing and i'm glad it got covered.
-i like how we do pictures with info boxes to describe stories we dont cover--they add more color and pictures, which most people look at.
chemistry week-one of the paragraphs starts out--Int he maze uests..thats not my language, even though i can guess it means in the maze guests, ya that needs to be caught. Otherwise i like the article, i saw some of this on campus it looked interesting i wish i had checked it out.
Drought--like the pull quote.
Opinion page--i dont see why my group did a survey on the opinion page when i dont even enjoy reading it myself, i only read it because i have to..because i have to write on this thing about it--the two columnists bore me! You might say i'm just ignorant and dont know anything about politics and you are partly true but still they are boring. The Voice on the other hand i enjoyed greatly, usually do actually. Good points, well written and nicely put! Well done.
Drama, poetry combine for accounts of violence--like the entro, very feature-esk.
Stand has a nice spread, pull quotes, picture headline..nice.
what happened to all the sports pictures..most were taken by austin so i know they were good..but why are they so fuzzy? nice stories though..

Interesting front page picture..a girl in my spanish class actually said "really, shots on the front page" and i mean the girl is smiling..who smiles while getting a shot?? Good article though, nice open and close--funny close actually. informative
Jumps for both the Leland and Parking are switched.
Oh and one of Lelands quotes was changed or something...doens't work..it might be what she said but aren't you suupposed to fix that stuff if it will make the person look back..and she is the dean of our schooL!
Is it just me or are the pictures kinda blah this week? really just a picture of a banner for zta think pink, and the fair picture is actually really cool looking, but i think people at the fair doing the things that are written about like the concerts, eating, riding the ferris wheell would have been better. Also the parking picture was used like 2 weeks ago.
I like the meet the candidates box. Other than that though, it was kind just ehh..lots of words, what happened to the alternate story forms we were saying were so good last week?
Banned books was a good read, but i think it should have come out the friday of that week..not really that timely.
This article was the one of the frist times i laughed at the cartoon..maybe its just b/c our group had an issue with them this week..but seriously..power issue going on there!
...how come both of the columns were about politics..we are surveying people in our group to see what people are interested in..and yes politics is a big one..but both columnists shouldnt' write about politics the same week.
*if we name our mascot bobby i might cry...
i will say that the features and sports pictures were much better than the news ones..except the potato drop one..get some people!

Love the head picture--and not just cuz the photographer is my amazing roommate. It has a lot of color and doesn't look posed! The story is also very informative, made me excited about the "den"..i wanna go!

I am so glad an artciel was written on the Grim Reaper, i saw them before my 2 class and it really upset me, there were so many people watching too, it was awesome. I like the campus involvement and i think this was def a story needing to be coverd. It is something that is well written from both sides the Marines and the GR..might have needed a little more input from people supporting the marines though...
Glad to see the Grove ad is gone..oh wait..just moved..its starting to look a lil better though

We need better beat questions..seriously if you saw a man hit a woman?? thats just ridiculous.
NICE letter to the editor..that a way to piss someone off enough to write to us.

Nice pictures and layout for Sylvia, but the headlines of the two articles kinda blend..i know there is a vocab word for that..but i dont remember it..
Why has the litter box been empty lately..aren't we supposed to increase reader response..and the litter box is one of the major things read by students.
Jena 6: i like the article. That is a huge issue lately and I dont know who all is in "the know" of whats been going on, i knew some of the stuff but havent really had time to catch it on the news..so i really like the fact box as well as the article tying GCSU to Jena 6.
Nice Column for corey--but the braves are still better--even if we are done..haha
Maybe for sports we should do like a weekly top player thing--didn't we used to do that? Idk but there was a comment form someone on how much they liked the soccer one the other week..this should be continued! Also i like the Short Stop--i just keep forgetting to mention that in here--its informative adn easy way to get info.
Didn't our class come up with alternate story forms for this energy article...yet it is just text..hmm interesting..
I liked the article on the condom suit of armor..informative and entertaining. I think its a great thing they are doing. Contraversal but good.

Good colonnade this week!

the pictures on the front aren't of great quality--kinda dark
Learning Police Procedure was interesting--our cops are crazy..thats alot of arrests

Baggy Pants story-great lead, informative nut graph. "Such bills are already in effect in numerous citites and state legislatures from Louisiana in the deep south, Virginia and to New Jersey up north" awakard and long sentence. In one sentence the major is captilized in the next it is not. They are both after the name. I like the text box!
I dont understand the cartoon..i mean i know we have two separate things..but what?

in the words of my roommate( no literally she just said this) "what is with this picture, i mean what is it anyway (looking at the grove ad) ..we need to fix this!
Great color in the picture of the jugglers-good read to..thats really interesting and a good idea
Nice Picture for Syliva!

For the sports terminology i was kinda expecting something different. LIke a text box or chart or idk something to look at--if i need to know words i want them defined out for me, it made it kinda just blah!

the magnolia ad looks better!

I like how in "fraud strikes gcsu" the story is more focused on what can happen, and what goes on during the scam rather than the actual story about the girl. I mean ya its important to know what happened to her, but just having a little info is great!--the check photo is good too! i like the tips, all very good and alternate ideas
Macs-cute headline--yay for our school!! and getting more macs..now i need one! ha
Tyler Flowers--jumbled lead, he's not really an alumni either..we had to write a press release on this for PR writing and he really isn't an alumni until this internship is over with. a little editorial with the description of tyler, thats the writer saying it, not a quote...it should be in a quote from someone, even if the writer knows him. "University TV station." does university need to be captilized “At GCSU, it’s a small enough college to get help and the experience you need,” says Flowers. --i know thats a quote but it doens't sound right! Why is it not till the end that it is explained that he is helping with the stupid human and pet tricks segments of the show, thats interesting and important..up top!! Not a great quote for the ending either, should be more interesting closer!
Anticipating Disappointment-no quotes around a quote, good read though-helpful
Coming home from downtown- wow in your face lead, i like it..haha..drunk frogger!! hehe thats a funny image. i really liked this article, good read, informative, good quotes, and ends well with a dont be stupid line! i woul dhave liked some alternate storie forms with this one, maybe prices of cabs, polls of what people actually do, etc..
nice tennis picture-informative story..the sports stories do their job
