Short explanation of the story and how it developed: After the attack in Portapique, Maclean's Magazine approached me to write a feature for their June issue that would go beyond the news updates and give a sense of what life was like in the community, and how the people still there are trying to both grieve and move on. I traveled to the community, spending time with people on the scene at memorials, and meeting with the family of victims. I wanted to relate this tragedy to others in Canadian history, and show the road ahead for the community of Portapique. |

Resources of the newsroom (money and time) available to complete the story: As a freelance writer, I did not have access to specific newsroom resources, outside of general editing and roughly a week to write the story. The magazine also hired a freelance photographer to take photos. |
