A grand personalized business story because it’s about people, not just product or service. The owner, staff and menu anchor the story thesis, but it’s customer engagement that connects the story to readers.

Second-hand sourcing provided details for the story. Reporter included comments of friends/family after trial. Good use of details/descriptions of the murdered victim and her abuser.

Lengthy detailed account of mother’s effort to gain accountability for son’s injury after a football game where he served as water boy. Good sourced description of incident. Story structure could have provided specific details of injury at the beginning.

A wonderful series of images showcasing community. The variety of shots are effective, and each image is sharp and well framed. The photographs keep the viewer engaged.
