This is an example of a recent audio piece that I really enjoyed listening to. Samantha Swindler, the managing editor of The Corbin (Kentucky) Times-Tribune, talks about an investigative report she published recently. Swindler talks about how she uncovered this story, which led to the indictment of the county sheriff. Swindler's story sends the message that reporters do not have to work at the New York Times or Washington Post to make an impact with their stories, and that journalists are an important staple of the community everywhere. Her story was significant to me personally because I have driven through Corbin many times and would never think that something interesting would happen there, and now I know that the most intriguing reporting can happen anywhere.
