Competition Comment: Don’t dip into PR-style writing with your news features. Make sure your intros are sourced, including sources to help establish facts outside of quotes. Remember every fact needs to be sourced. Clearly define if a feature is opinion based or not; several articles mixed the two formats. Each story needs quotes from your local community - teachers, students, staff, relevant community members - not just a research article with outside sources. Localize all info to your community.
