• 3/10 2:58 pm - Loved the shots in the intro- great vibe to start off with. Announcements at the start feel a little choppy and jump around a lot. I know this news program is listed as announcement-based...so, perhaps you could organize the announcements into categories (sports, fine arts, academics, student life, etc.) and have one anchor deliver all of the category related announcements? This may help the program's pacing and organization. B-roll with some of these announcements would also be ideal to narrate the news.
• 3/2 11:52 am - opening is nice, but could include more video to showcase school; Nice use of over the shoulder shots; professional looking and sounding anchors; use a transition to play any videos - jump jump seems random; it's a little awkward to have different anchors for next group of announcements - try to be consistent, or if you are going to use different anchors use a transition to introduce; professional credits at the end.

Positives: Announcements from the set - glad you put the websites up and told people where to find the information.

Improvements: I really would've loved to see a feature or a package in this newscast. It was just a bunch of announcements. the announcements in the middle - consider adding graphics or doing something so it isn't just two people sitting in the hallway talking about what's happening.

Judge 3

Positives: Graphic and opening well done. Good audio throughout.

Improvements: Some lighting issues with backdrop on main set and with talent standing in front of highly lit doors on location. Some talent spoke very quickly and hard to understand.
