   Timothy Chasteau’s 19 years of seeing the story through the lens (opens the original)

   Excerpt · English

   Read excerpt

   For Tim­o­thy Chasteau, the first les­son of tele­vi­sion news was that there was al­ways more to see. When he walked in­to CNC3 in 2007, the news­room al­ready seemed larg­er than life. The peo­ple he had watched on tele­vi­sion from his home were sud­den­ly his col­leagues, and the sto­ries he had seen from a dis­tance were now un­fold­ing di­rect­ly in front of his cam­era. Nine­teen years lat­er, he has wit­nessed a coun­try in tran­si­tion through the viewfind­er of a tele­vi­sion cam­era.

   Breast self-exams are not enough: why awareness and screening save lives (opens the original)

   Excerpt · English

   Read excerpt

   For decades, women have been taught that the month­ly breast self-ex­am­i­na­tion was one of their strongest weapons against breast can­cer. The ad­vice be­came so in­grained in pub­lic health mes­sag­ing that many came to be­lieve that if they ex­am­ined them­selves reg­u­lar­ly and could not feel a lump, then there was lit­tle to wor­ry about.

Bird vine was dis­ap­pear­ing from branch­es, and the ponds in The Hol­lows were be­ing re­paired. There was a sense that one of the coun­try’s most trea­sured pub­lic spaces was wak­ing from a long slum
