- Great use of photojournalism to complement the articles on the website.
- The captions gave the reader what they needed to either 1) know what they needed to know or 2) decide if they want to read more on the website.

- The templates are great. They also include too much information. Recommend splitting it by pages or including some information in the caption instead. (Author credit, for example.) Also recommend streamlining some of the design to make the headline focus more clear.

- There’s room for improvement on social graphics. Recommend refining them to make it easier for the audience to grasp the news quickly if not reading the captions.
