Favorite Online Newspapers:
1. The Sagamore-The header of the website is very clean and simple.  The layout is very easy to follow and navigate.  It has a lot of great restaurant reviews along with nice pictures.  The website dedicates a whole section to the arts, which I found interesting.

2. El Estoque-The layout and header of this website is also very simple and easy to follow, but it has more color.  There is a wide variety of editorials, and the website contains a lot of graphics designed by the staff members that really pop to the reader.

3. The Hoofprint-The layout of this website is a lot more sparse and disoriented compared to the other two online publications' layouts that I just mentioned.  To navigate, the different sections are located in a somewhat hidden column on the left of the screen instead of at the top.  The features and scene section pictures are very good, and the website has a lot of student drawings.

Favorite SNO Stories:
1. "Uncovering Addiction"-It was interesting to read about how heroine is starting to greatly affect not only the lives of teenagers, but their parents too and how scary the consequences can be.

2. "Even seniors get cut from the team"-A senior girl who expected to play during her last year of high school was cut unexpectedly by her coach.  I thought it was was surprising how she had such a positive attitude and still wanted to go and support her team at all their games.
