Back to Barnes

Remember my post from last week about my hometown newspaper's great coverage of a man named Steven Barnes being released from prison after 20 years following the discovery of new DNA evidence?

If you don't, check it out here.

And then read this column by the paper's managing editor Mike Kilian. It gives the reader an inside look at all of the hard work and coordination required of many different people inside of the newsroom for a story like this to be successfully covered. I also think it gives the casual reader a better appreciation of the hard work many reporters put into their jobs.
