Al Capone’s right-hand man lived in Norman?

Who knew?

It was a fact. And many locals knews that bit of history. Bit it wasn’t common knowledge.

And that’s the kind of story we love to tell on NewsOK.com.

I’ve written about our nDepth series in the past. It’s a type of story-telling that is very-much preferred in many parts of our newsroom.

  • Reporters who love to write up a good story love to have the freedom to stretch their wings and let a story breathe.
  • Graphic artists love have a wide-open page to let their creative juices flow.
  • Copy editors love not having to cut a well-told story into a couple of short newspaper columns.
  • Videographers love trying knew things with transitions while finding the best soundbites, the best images and best angles to paint the picture of the story we’re telling.

I just like reading the stories and watching the videos, like rest of our hundreds of thousands of daily users.
