Caught Our Eye

The Force Awakens: OK, I admit. I’m a “Star Wars” mega-geek. So when I got to this spread, of course I had to pause. This staff does a great job covering a major cultural event, but maintains the focus on students to bring as many of them into the coverage as possible. A lovely but simple graphic of Darth Vader’s helmet serves as the backdrop for some fun facts about the series. Fun photos of students at the local theater are a must for this type of coverage. Once again, the fact that this staff was working chronologically helped them fit in an important event that might have been otherwise missed.
