Classmate Review: Skyler Markwell

One thing I have noticed about Skyler in Journalism1 class is that she always pays attention to the details. She can usually tell you exactly what someone said, even though they themselves might not even recall what they said.

Skyler's critique on the Courier Journal was very factually based; it does have way too many "fluff" stories, as I talked about in my critique of them. However, one part of her critique is not backed up by facts. She claims that they covered the Grimes vs. McConnell race very well, but how can this be if they had very few political stories? On October 28th, just 7 days before the election, the Courier Journal had only TWO stories about politics! 

Other than this slight mixup, Skyler's review was structured very well and had a lot of helpful information. Overall, this was a very good critique of the local newspaper, the Courier Journal.
