Investigative Journalism
In 2003, the United States was at war with Iraq. A young soldier from Missouri, Josh Neusche, who was serving in Iraq, died suddenly from a mysterious illness that caused his organs to shut down. After investigating Josh's death -- and the deaths and illnesses of other soldiers -- I was able to break the story that the U.S. government was launching an investigation into unexplained deaths and illnesses (specifically, severe pneumonia). My editor, David Ledford, took the step of Copyrighting the story. Once we broke the story, it went what we'd now call "viral."
