The Warrior Review

     I was less impressed by The Warrior than I was by The Saint Ignatius Spirit, however, I think that overall the paper was still very interesting and had several good elements in it. One small thing that I noticed right away was the cartoon. After first reading the cartoon I was extremely disappointed because the cartoon simply wasn't very funny. However, I noticed underneath the cartoon there was a small box underneath the cartoon saying "Cartoonist Wanted" and right next to that was another box saying "Advertise in the Warrior." I think that a cool addition to The Beacon could be to have a small section of ads from different organizations withing WY. For example, student council could advertise the next dance or NHS could advertise tutoring in the writing center. We could even put announcements from the administration in this section as another way of communicating upcoming school functions. Another interesting part of The Warrior was the fact that they had a section that included an advice column. I remember back when I was a freshmen The Beacon had an advice column and if there was someone in our class that would want to do it I think we could bring back an advice column to our paper. Hopefully in future years we could establish a large enough social media presence to receive questions through twitter, facebook, or even snapchat that our advice columnist could answer. The rest of The Warrior was pretty standard and nothing else really stood out to me. The kind of articles they wrote about were pretty similar to the ones we write in The Beacon. I will say, however, that the front page of The Warrior and even The Saint Ignatius Spirit were much better than our front pages usually are. I like that the front page of both of those papers were covered in pictures so that the majority of the front page was pictures and not words. I think their style of using more pictures just grabs the attention of students right away in a much more effective way than long articles.
