Let’s take a trip, shall we, to an exotic locale we call the Pathfinder ...
THE GOOD
More design gold from Jed with his excellent use of submitted photos on the cover. Very resourceful.
Page 2’s Opinion lineup was once again solid, including my favorite writing of the issue, from Kasi’s column:
“I think what scares me personally is the hierarchy. Especially in the world of the Internet, there’s always a more snarky and better educated woman who’s perched at her keyboard, ready to tell you that you’re not good enough to be a member of the clan."
Nice use of the archive photo to illustrate the staff report on Multicultural Week.
The murderers' row of Kaylee, Jeremiah and Alex all stroked moon shots with their A&E entries. Especially liked the analysis of “Easy A.” Would it have earned five stars in Kaylee’s estimation? Just curious. Continue to be impressed by Jeremiah’s musical range. And Alex’s foray into airport cuisine is cleared for takeoff. Add to all this a book review by Kelly-Rae and you’ve got a black-and-white-and-read-all-over winner on your hands.
Outstanding debut story from Sarah Hennessey on the Study Abroad program. Excellent lead paragraph pulled me right into the story and proceeded to keep me there.
Sports coverage continues to cover all of LCSC’s bases. I found the idea of a championship playoff between teammates Connor McCracken and Drew Reinland fascinating and think it would make for an interesting feature story down the road (Get on it now or the Trib'll scoop you!). Also good to have included the results — what we in the journalism game call "agate" — from the tournament.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Jed’s “Sports Shorts” column is one of the most engaging, enlightening and just plain entertaining features around. Super lead this week. I do have to point this out, though: Green Bay’s quarterback is Aaron Rodgers (not Rogers).
Nice touch, working the Study Abroad topic into “Word on the Street.” Bellissimo!
THE NOT-SO-GOOD
As mentioned earlier, the cover was solid; I would, however, have tried to better distinguish the teasers for non-Study Abroad stories. It was a little odd to read about the review for “Easy A” superimposed on the photo of a woman standing in front of the Eiffel Tower.
When you’re jumping a personal column, it’s always best to use the writer’s last name as the tagline; in the case of Kasi’s column, would have been better to say “See KLIMES, Page 7.” You did it right with Jeremiah’s album review on Page 6.
Let’s just try to run an album cover with the next KLCZ Artist of the Week feature. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.
Forgot the page number that held the jump from the movie review. It was Page 12. Oh, well. Merde happens.
As much as the music press (Rolling Stone, Spin, et al) would like Iron Maiden to be a “their,” it’s not. It’s an “it.” At least until there’s a larger consensus on the plurality of a group of musicians.
Composition titles are always set off by quote marks. Re: “Enrique’s Journey.” (In headlines, remember to use single quotations.)
Dana Elliott’s role in the Study Abroad program — director — needed to be referenced earlier in the story.
