Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Cardinal News Entry Title: Robert Anderson Portfolio Entry Credit: Robert Anderson Judge Comment: Writer is able to keep the reader interested despite the extreme length of the articles. Paring down the stories might have made them a little more effective, though writer did have a lot to work with.
