It's a pretty detailed review, breaking things down into subcategories and giving each aspect numerical ratings. It doesn't hesitate to call out flaws in the system despite it's overall enthusiasm. As reviews go, it's pretty solid. Whether it'll be a one-off, or this will lead to another long-term shift in content for the newszine remains to be seen. Will other people bother to send in their reviews? Can one person's enthusiasm keep a column running without any financial renumeration? (As if this very thread doesn't prove that pretty conclusively) Is this what the readers want to see from them, or will there be complaining letters? It is interesting to see them trying new things, not knowing how it's going to go. Lots of experimentation in this one, which definitely helps to keep it fresh and push the average quality level up. Which ones will they drop as failures next time, and which ones will carry on for years and outstay their welcome? I think I'm fairly optimistic heading into the next one, as they've got more choice of material than they had before. Let's see if my optimism is misplaced or not.</blockquote>
