In all the hullaballoo the past week or son you may have missed a couple of fine examples of local reporting.
For starters, check out Curtis Rumboldt’s profile of a man who was disfigured in an industrial accident but who has made a truly inspiring recovery. This is award-winning stuff. Curtis tells the story simply without being overly melodramatic even though that’s what the story could easily lead a less experienced reporter to do.
On another subject altogether you can find a six part series by Ashley Fitzpatrick over at the Telegram on the offshore regulatory board. This is an excellent example of the sort of reporting newspapers can do exceptionally well and other media just can’t. The series is chock full of basic information that should help to shape any future discussions of an organization that is often dragged into controversy by political shagging around and shag ups.
