Other High School Newspapers

1. My favorite cover was the The Roar because it was very neat and professional looking.
2. The Mustang immediately grabbed my interest because the cover was very interesting looking and I was curious to see how interesting the inside would be.
3. I really enjoyed the Best of 2013 section. I was interested in it because I was curious to see what everyone thought of all the different subjects listed.
4. There are no stories on the cover page. There were 7 stories on the first pages.
5. All the newspapers each have their own style. Also, they all have a general layout.
6. Some have different types of pictures, some have just words and some have just pictures.
7. They all generally had a large headline on the cover and smaller stories with it. Some of the high school newspapers are more like magazines.

Front Pages of the World

1. My favorite newspaper cover was from Amarillo. I thought they had a very interesting main topic and it definitely drew in my eyes.
2. My favorite head line was "Beef Cloning Enters Next Phase". Its a very interesting topic and it seems very rare which made me want to know more about it.
3. There were 3 stories on the main page.
4. I noticed all the papers had their main story in the middle and it was the largest. The less interesting stories were smaller and placed around the main. Also, most had advertisements.
5. Some of the things that varied were things like some main stories had different amounts of pictures. Some had none at all.

When You Get Caught - Warm Up

1. If it was a big of deal as the company made it seem and it was worth being fired over, then no, one should not have a second chance to redeem themselves. They could've been lying about everything else the entire time and no one would have known.
2. The rest of his images should be taken into consideration forever since he is now known for untrue material. Caution should be taken in fear that he might pull the same thing again.
3. The AP should have these rules so readers can be let in on the true story. Their minds shouldn't have a twisted perspective of the real idea.
4. I think there may have been others or other cameras around that captured the same image that clearly had something different about it. Also, maybe the photographer didn't do the best job at photoshopping and you could see a mistake or flaw, clearly enough.

Magazine Cover Peer Review

FallCity Magazine - Shayla Perez 

- I liked how there was a lot of color, yet it didn't clash. I also really liked the photo she took.
- I think she could make some of the text a little more clear.
- How the photo was clear and the text was laid out well around the subject is what attracted me to this cover.
- There is a bar code. I think it did make it feel more like a really magazine.
- Yes you can tell it was a portrait.

N Photo - Audrey Dunne 

- I liked how your eyes were immediately drawn to the bold picture. I also liked how well the subjects stood out yet didn't clash.
- I think one thing that could be changed is not having the title going across her forehead.
- The bold picture and bright text attracted my eyes to this cover.
- There is a bar code. I think it does give it a more magazine feel.
- I can't really tell it was a self-portrait.
