The best story I've worked on, and why:
Best is the wrong word. But I'm most proud of a feature I suggested and wrote tracing the final journey of Daniel Bindner, a man who had fallen on hard times and died when the recycling bin he was sleeping in was emptied into a compactor.
I wanted readers to see Daniel as a person, rather than just someone who died in awful circumstances, and to shine a light where we all too often find it easy to look away.
