Herald-Dispatch Critique: Thursday, Oct. 22

The Thursday, Oct. 22 edition of The Herald-Dispatch was a relatively clean, major mistake free edition as the previous editions were.  There were no macro-editing issues and it featured solely micro-editing issues.  

The reoccurring theme of ending a lead paragraph with the time element was an issue.  Other issues included occasional wordiness, cliches, beginning a lead paragraph with a prepositional phrase and editorializing.  

But overall, this edition continued the theme of the previous editions and was well written and professional from start to finish.  The Herald-Dispatch is a high quality newspaper that continuously provides well written stories.  

Herald-Dispatch Critique: Thursday, Oct. 15

The Thursday, Oct. 15 edition of The Herald-Dispatch was well written and professional from start to finish.  Outside of the common micro-editing issues, there were no majors issues involved in this edition.

A common, reoccurring theme I found, much like other editions, was beginning the lead paragraph with a prepositional phrase.  I found the same minor issues of occasional wordiness, cliches, ending the lead paragraph with the time element and editorializing.

Overall, this edition was basically the same as the previous one's I have read through.  It featured the same minor micro-editing issues and featured no macro-editing issues.

Herald-Dispatch Critique: Thursday, Oct. 8

The Thursday, Oct. 8 edition of The Herald-Dispatch continued the theme of being well written and featuring few issues.  There were no macro editing issues, but there were some micro editing issues as with the previous editions I have read.

Much like the other editions I have read, beginning a lead paragraph with a prepositional phrase was a reoccurring theme.  There were also instances of wordiness, ending a lead paragraph with the time element and uses of too many cliches and editorializing.

Overall, this edition was on pace with the other editions of The Herald-Dispatch that I have read.  The only issues/errors within it were comprised of micro editing issues.  It was well written and professional, just as it should be.  

Herald-Dispatch Critique: Thursday, Oct. 1

The Thursday, Oct. 1 edition of The Herald-Dispatch continued the theme of being well written and featuring few issues.  There were few, if any, macro editing issues and most were micro editing issues as with the previous editions I have read.

The most reoccurring theme I noticed in this edition was beginning a paragraph with a prepositional phrase.  I also noticed a few instances of the word "host" being used as a verb.  I also noticed a few instances of wordiness as well.

Overall, this edition of The Herald-Dispatch was similar to the previous editions I have read.  It was well written and professional, featuring minimal errors.  I have yet to experience a major macro editing issue, and I suppose that's to be expected with a newspaper like The Herald-Dispatch.

Herald-Dispatch Critique: Thursday, Sept. 24

The Thursday, Sept. 24 edition of The Herald-Dispatch was similar to the previous editions I read through.  It featured minimal errors and was well written overall.  And it also continued the trend of micro editing issues rather than macro.

The front page of the paper had a story titled "Marshall celebrates namesake's birthday," however, The opening paragraph is non-objective by saying John Marshall made the U.S. Supreme Court what it is today.  Most of the other issues were the reoccurring theme of ending the lead paragraph with a time element.

There were also a few instances of cliches being used and lead paragraphs beginning with a prepositional phrase.  Overall, it continued the theme of being a well written newspaper aside from the few micro editing issues that pop up every once in a while.
