    I enjoyed this feature about a small-town journalist who lost her job at the local paper, started her own news site, and found herself in the middle of a global breaking news story.

      Her updates were much awaited on Reddit and Twitter on election night. She has a gofundme set up to support her independent journalism which was getting passed around as well. What a great story...

      Her updates were much awaited on Reddit and Twitter on election night. She has a gofundme set up to support her independent journalism which was getting passed around as well. What a great story about how an extremely ordinary person can play a part in a global story. I love stuff like this.
