Taft High Schools' issue 6 of the "Taft Today" was much better than the last issue we reviewed. This issue seemed far more organized and the layout was much more appealing to the reader. Although I still believe that things like bolding proper nouns in every article and rounding off the edges of photos are weird elements to include in a newspaper, it is a stylistic preference and their editors will probably continue to keep them. Still, I thought this issue of the "Taft Today" had better written and more interesting articles than the previous issue. I liked that their sports page included articles that weren't solely based on the outcome of different teams' games such as the profile on one of Taft's gym teachers Mr. Madden and the article on dance at Taft. I also think that Taft's masthead could be better. The white font in front of a picture of their school is a little basic, however, I do like that the masthead also includes previews of other pages in the paper with pictures. Overall, I still have mixed feelings about the "Taft Today" paper. This issue was definitely an improvement from the last paper we reviewed by them, however I think that there are still several things we do better in "The Beacon" than they do in the "Taft Today."
