The conclusion was a sentence, the beginning of the article didn't intrigue me much because it lacked emotion.

 My favorite photo is the one of Shane Lockhoof and friends because they all look happy and the collage is cute and fits the story. Some leading lines were used in this photo.

My least favorite photos in the paper are the series of photos of "The Humans of Bowie" because it didn't intrigue me to read it.

If I were a photographer on the newspaper staff, I would like to photo subjects outside of school because I feel that as a viewer, the outside of school events and stories entertain me way more.

On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this high but not the highest. Many photo rules were used which I liked, and I liked the stories, but occasionally the photos didn't add the to even written about.

Other High School Newspapers

1. My favorite newspaper front page is Breezeway because the highly experienced editing is evident and it still looks neat and intriguing.
2. The Breezeway also is the most attention grabbing newspaper because the boy in the photo looks 3D and the photo is large, very well taken, and gives insight onto a very interesting a fun topic: prom.
3. My favorite headline from this newspaper is "Let the Magic Begin" because the font is similar to the Disney font and it looks cute. Also, having a headline like that interests readers.
4. There are no stories on the front page of this newspaper, just one large photo and three smaller ones at the bottom along with a few headlines.
5. In many of the newspapers, I see that having at least one large, intriguing photo is an aspect they all have in common, having a visible title, and a few headlines.
6. Some varying aspects of the newspapers are the amount of photos, the layout, including stories on the front page or not and the size of the title.
7. I don't think these newspapers for schools were very similar to the ones around the world because the topics they covered were very different and usually cheerful.

2. My favorite headline from the newspaper is "Fire Guts Late Artist's Home" because although it's negative, it gives an insight into the day's main stories because the town is so small and homie.
