Year in Review: Top Stories of 2010
I was reminded that it is time to take a look back when Marietta College posted their own Top 10 Stories list, so here they are…the 10 stories that received the most traffic on Writing on the Mall in 2010.
10 – Looking Back At Campus Flooding
This was the only story submitted by Tom Perry’s writing classes to make it to the Top 10. Stacy Frederick did a great retrospective piece on the 2004 and 2005 floods. The Ohio River went over its banks twice that year, flooding Marietta and the College in the process. Frederick’s article had some great interviews with alumni and College officials, and shows the improvements made to the College’s flooding preparedness plans.
You can read that article here.
9 – Student Speak Out Coverage
Our Student Speak Out coverage was so popular this Fall that it actually crashed the site, which I was impressed by. If you want to take a look back, here is the Spring 2010 and Fall 2010 live blog pages. We will actually have our Top Questions from the Fall Student Speak Out here this week.
8 – Student Senate Posters Get Defaced
Maybe when I originally ran this story, it was a bit “Fox News”-ish. But apparently readers wanted to hear about Student Senate candidate posters getting defaced. The original story ran here.
