Critique
of the newspaper
This
involves a review of stories, editing and heads in one
week’s editions of the paper (or a
specific section). I mark up heads and stories and write a detailed
evaluation for the editors. Ten papers--including The Washington
Post, Memphis Commercial Appeal and Buffalo News--have engaged me to
produce such critiques and reports.
Internet coaching alternative
One-on-one coaching of your reporters can also be done via the Internet.
