Judges’ comments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four-year Daily<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summary comments on winning entries:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A good mix of stories, including in-depth news and fun features<\/li>\n
  • Professional design with a voice<\/li>\n
  • Attention to detail<\/li>\n
  • Accurately reflected their communities and towns with story choice and presentation<\/li>\n
  • A diversity of stories – profiles, campus, community, world, sports<\/li>\n
  • Looked beyond the surface reporting<\/li>\n
  • Good storytelling – visual and written<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Summary comments on non-winning entries:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Inconsistent layout, random type faces<\/li>\n
    • Failure to set boundaries with writers (not every story is worth 40\u201d)<\/li>\n
    • Inattention to inside pages<\/li>\n
    • Pointless editorials<\/li>\n
    • Poor and inconsistent news judgment, knowing what is and what is not a good story<\/li>\n
    • Photos didn\u2019t do enough to convey story, poor basics (out of focus, bad cropping)<\/li>\n
    • Bad editing (AP style, grammar)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Four-year non-daily<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Summary comments on winning entries:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • They used different fonts sparingly. However, when they were used, they enhanced coverage and had impact.<\/li>\n
      • Stories, especially news stories, were clear and concise.<\/li>\n
      • Feature stories were compelling and a good read and written from interesting angles.<\/li>\n
      • They covered issues that were important to students, such as safety on campus, parking, budget cuts (impact on available courses and services, etc…) and included lots of student voices.<\/li>\n
      • They tried to do innovative things, such as alternative forms of storytelling<\/li>\n
      • They used graphics that were clear and readable and not oversized<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Summary comments on non-winning entries:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Broaden event coverage beyond the event itself – make it less about the event (especially since many of the papers were weeklies and the even was already old news)<\/li>\n
        • Use less reverse type<\/li>\n
        • Make better use of alternative forms of storytelling<\/li>\n
        • Offer a better balance of stories between campus events, university announcements, faculty news, campus issues, student features, national news, etc…<\/li>\n
        • Reduced the amount of spacing (leading) in stories.<\/li>\n
        • Headlines were frequently too big or small (most small), and therefore not proportional to stories.<\/li>\n
        • Eliminate or cut down on the use of static photos, instead using photos that help to tell the story and enhanced the design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Two-year<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Summary comments on winning entries:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Clearly masterd the balance between visual presentation and reporting\/editing quality.<\/li>\n
          • Reporting was local and original. Exceleltn job of localizing national and community news. Reporting was high quality.<\/li>\n
          • Visuals enhanced content, photography was sharp, well cropped, enhanced reader\u2019s understanding of story.<\/li>\n
          • Layout-design consistent, reader friendly, inviting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Summary comments on non-winning entries:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Lack of attention to headlines and subheads, too often repetitive and rewording of article lead.<\/li>\n
            • Lack of attention to cutlines, editing of both content and photos (selection and cropping)<\/li>\n
            • Clearly there was too often an imbalance between visual presentation\/design and written content.<\/li>\n
            • Limited number of contributors sometimes results in less insightful reporting and coverage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
