Some Stories Take Time, Patience

Grad student Elizabeth Harrison has a story in NewWest.net this week about the danger big wind-power projects pose to creatures that fly. She began gathering string for the article in her graduate reporting class last fall.

"I got word about this study last fall, and followed it until now," Elizabeth writes. "The story changed directions within the course of that time, and by staying on it that long, I ended up with a newsworthy angle. With something like this, it could go on for a few years still. Who knows what they will find after another year of monitoring?"
