Northeastern student reviews The Voice

A pretty nice article about The Voice by a student at Northeastern University. Check it out:

I am a few days late on this review, but being home in New Jersey had the Thursday launch of The Harvard Voice, the new student multimedia publication at Harvard University, slip my mind.

My first reaction to the new Web site and subsequent publication is, Wow. I love the colors and the sleek design of the print version (I am making my observations based of the .pdf, which is available for download through the Web site). I am particularly impressed with the photography (I assume it's by Laurel Tainsh, who is listed as the photographer, but the individual photographs aren't attributed.) and the design, especially of the lead feature story with four page inside spread. I also like the used of the "I-button" as a device throughout the print publication to clue readers into the interactive features available on the Web site.

But the real gem of this new publication is its online version. Rife with photos, video content, comment and rating features, the potential for user created content and RSS news aggregators, the Web site is looking good.

The individual stories like this "investigative feature," Transfer Students Debacle: Without Even Taking A Look, Harvard Is Saying 'No', are easy to read on the site and I love seeing the video embedded in the story. HRTV and The Voice partnered to create this students man-on-the-street package about Harvard halting its acceptance of transfer students.
