My investigative workshop in j-school did a collaborative story on VLT gambling in Nova Scotia. It was a messy, frustrating process at times, but the end result was the coolest, most important thing I was involved with at King’s. My job was to track down people who had been affected by gambling, and go around the province interviewing them. The story won the Canadian Association of Journalists Student Award of Excellence.
You can see the website the workshop put together here. A version of the story was also published as “Terminal Disease” in The Coast, Halifax’s weekly paper in April 2010.
