• 3/10 2:49 pm - Anchors are very professional--from their dress to their tone. Unique story coverage shown here- the graduation gown topic was important and informative. Phone interview was narrated well with text and was an important addition. I also really liked the celebrity presidential piece- great use of teacher and student interviews to deliver this story. Roller-derby piece was a great, quick promo. I think the commercial break could have been cut-out completely from this edit. Ticker was a bit fast at the bottom, and created a rushed feeling at times.
• 3/2 11:49 am - Nice preview with video at start; good intro at start to showcase school; really professional looking anchors; over the shoulder images /video add interest; nice wording from anchors to introduce next stories; anchors are natural; weather is done nicely using green screen; format done well with hard news to sports/softer news at end; the sign off is natural and pleasing.
