No.1: "Obama: Troops coming home" -Ben Feller

The story flows smoothly and covers a lot of facts.

No.2: "District 7 follows Iowa trend as fatalities drop" -Peter Kaspart

There are a lot of good facts in this article. It explains the reasons for the statistics and it makes sense.

No. 1: "Three charged after bathroom brawl"

Some of the wording in the article is weird and kind of confusing. If they reworded the sentence, it would make sense and it would flow better.

No.3: "Thorson feted at pops concert Sunday" -Dolores Cullen

There is a couple places where I wasn't sure if things were spelled correctly. They might be but I may not be familiar with the vocabulary.

No.2: "She still faces passport fraud charge"

The article slows smoothly. I am easily transitioned to the different topics and understand it clearly.

No.2: "Jury Finds Tracey Richter Guilty..." -Jake Kurtz

I like the way the story transitions to the background story. Many people may not know the whole story behind the trial, so the background information after the pressing information make me feel informed and it makes more sense.

No. 1: "Timko a finalist at Miss Teen USA"-Mary Cullen

The picture is what caught my attention first. It is clear and big enough to make people want to read the article.

No.3: "Bit of Halloween history is a treat"

The article has good transitions. It flows smoothly and makes sense.

No.2: "Halloween Events For Everyone" -Paula Reece

The article has explanations and then lists the attractions for kids. It is neat and easy to read.

No. 1: "Different Genders, Same Dorm"

I would have liked it to be longer. It only gave an overview of the story and it didn't explain other details I would like to know.

No.3: "Thousands honor MLK at dedication of memorial" -Brett Zongker

The article talks about many different people that are nationally recognized, but one I didn't know. The article didn't explain who this person was, and it assumed that I should know who they were.

No.2: "Can 'Occupy' protests survive without established leaders?"-David B. Caruso

This had a lot of information about a variety of different places, but it wasn't super long. The amount of the front of the paper is just enough to peak your interests and make you want to read the rest of the story.
