This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Would this appear in a newspaper? - I don't think so, it's of a paper instead.
2) Composition - The background does nothing for it. Also, the sides of the guitar should be included, not chopped off like that.
3) Lighting - It's too uneven. The back paper is in the shadows and the floor reflects it.
Score: 4 |

The challenge was not merely to include a newspaper in the photo. It was to take a journalistic photo. "Take a journalistic shot that would appear in a newspaper. Make your title the headline."
Journalism is meant to inform a wide public (ideally in an objective, factual manner) of current events and issues. This is a still-life set up illustrating one opinion of the news. Itis highly personal and subjective. It does not supporting an actual news story or tell a story other than in the most abstract way. Therefore, it fails to meet the challenge.
As for its photographic merit, while I appreciate the effort involved in covering your guitar with newspaper, I don't consider this to be a good photo. The set-up is very contrived and the composition lacks cohesion. The case and the newspaper in the background are uneccessary elements. Overkill. The floor and wall do not make a good background.
Had you focused soley on the guitar covered in newsprint and situated it in a less awkward position, it might have worked as an interesting still-life. |

| Nice idea, but i think it would have been more effective against a solid black background. 7/10 |

| I'm sorry, this does not look like a picture that anyone would put in a newspaper. Interesting concept, but not really on topic. |
