Blogger Contest: Chris Thomas Profiles John Clay
The Blogger Contest has creeped into the Fall as we expected, but will likely end to allow new bloggers for 2011. This round involved each contestant profiling a media personality. Some agreed to interviews and some did not. John Clay of the Herald Leader did not, but Chris Thomas still did a John Clay Profile anyway. Here it is:
Matt's Take:
I must admit that when I saw the Star Trek picture, I was worried. I generally associate Star Trek with "awful" and I thought we would have a situation where I might have to punt you into Dorkville rather than move you to the next round. However once I read the actual article, I thought it was very well done. It is tough to do a profile when the individual being profiled doesnt participate....but you handled it well and I commend you. The connection to a battle was a good analogy and you utilized a lot of the Kentucky figures. I might try to make it grab the reader a bit more at the beginning as it was a bit of a labor to get to the good stuff on page 2 and 3, but overall I think it was a solid job. Nicely done.
