Fire destroys three condominium units in Manteo, three others damaged by water and smoke

Thorough investigation of the fire. Solid writing that presents facts. Good job.

Middle school club helps develop fishing skills

Some of these images are really strong... I would have even started with those instead of the group photos. Overall, the images do a good job at capturing the event.

Community Coverage – The Coastland Times

Good amount of news here. The arrest and incident records must be high reads. Restaurant health grades draw reader interest but could use context as to what they mean. Columbus Voices is a neat feature.

Hull of boat that capsized in fatal Oregon Inlet incident washes ashore on Pea Island

Solid coverage. Good use of sources and developing a timeline of when the boat capsized.

Summer Stevens

Excellent coverage of a local story that ties in with the community. Thorough and well done.

New book ‘Life Advice from Mr. Dill Pickles’ serves cat-wise humor and heartfelt life lessons

Really liked this story overall. Only thing I would say is there should be more crediting to the sources. It would make the story even stronger.
