Jim Chastain series reaches Chapter Two status

Chapter Two of the Jim Chastain series published in The Oklahoman on Sunday.

In case you missed it, check out the Jim Chastain page on NewsOK. It has a great design (creative director Scott Horton), great videos (photographer John Clanton), great writing (reporter Ken Raymond), great blog and — most of all — an outstanding person of focus.

Projects like these are interesting, because they highlight the talent for rich, deep coverage on a topic or subject.

Sure, we know that breaking news, political shenanigans, weather, crime and sports drive a lot of interest and traffic on NewsOK.com. But even in our changing industry, projects like “Life is Real” can give us a sense of duty and make a long-term difference in the lives readers around the world.

But the purpose of this post is really just to ask you to read Chapter Two because it’s really, really good.
