Short explanation of the story and how it developed: In October 2015, I was invited by the Belgian state tourism department to join a group of Canadian journalists on a media tour of First World War related sites. I saw a unique opportunity to craft a memorable Remembrance Day editorial, offering new context to a story we cover every November. No other Atlantic Canadian magazine offered readers this perspective on Remembrance Day. |

Resources of the newsroom (money and time) available to complete the story: Taking advantage of the media tour offered us a chance to do this story in a way we just couldn't with our typical resources. We've never been able to send a journalist to Europe before. We were also able to include regular Halifax Magazine contributing photographer Tammy Fancy on the trip, capturing unique visuals to accompany the essay. |
