Charleston Daily Mail Sports October 28

This is the first section I found a grammar mistake and it was on the front page. Although it was minor, most people would catch it if they read that particular story. The writer put the word “an’ when it should have been “and.” Marshall football takes the front page acceptably since the story is very newsworthy to the sports readers around this area. There is a not a lot of copy and the stories seem shorter than usual. The cutlines are visible as well as the pictures. Surprisingly, the headlines do not leave much space, which is different than the past. The headline for the big story could be bigger to show how newsworthy it is. I found another punctuation mistake on the second page where there should be a comma. The headlines on the second page do not fit the layout well. There could have been more done to make the headlines fit with the copy and the pictures better to make it more readable.
