The Rider online
Layout is very similar to ours but they have a very strong masthead that we are lacking. I really liked "MTV Quality" a column about how MTV has changed. I also do not like how they have veered away from actual music program it actually used to be a channel that only played music videos. The Rider also has very good head shots for their staffers rather than mugshots. The website is very easy to navigate and has lots of content for each section

The Red Ledger
I really like their entertainment section they have a rating system, good headlines, and they even have the trailer above the review. The headlines for the reviews are also cleaver not just "movie review".
I enjoyed the story about the student who was in "Noah" it was really cool that they had a student in a movie. The article was also well done and the interviewee asked good questions.

The Pride Online
The format is the same as ours but they also have a really strong masthead. I think our site has too much white the background should be grey. I like that they had a story about how they wrote a story about what they were doing to interact with their readers.
