This document provides an evaluation of a student's media project creating a local newspaper. It discusses how the student incorporated several contemporary newspaper conventions, such as columns, mastheads, headlines, and photos, while also challenging some conventions. Specifically, the student included fewer and simpler ads than typical newspapers to avoid feeling advertising heavy. The evaluation covers the newspaper's audience, location, branding, journalistic style, and how its corresponding website expands access while focusing more on strictly local community stories.
