  3. How long did you have? “We had two days. You’re working in boxed time, and that’s definitely something you have to be aware of.” • How did you get a focus? • “We knew we wanted to do a story about 5 different characters, who sum what life in Williston is like. You have to know where to go. Started with a pastor who did outreach in the area.”

  4. How did you know where to look? “You have to know where to look. I went through a lot of press cuttings. I used LexisNexis.” Photo from USA Today Photo from CNN.com

  5. What is your process on leads? “It's a busy Monday night at Whispers strip bar in the oil boomtown of Williston, North Dakota. A man in overalls drains his glass before showering money on a pole dancer. By the side of the stage, a half-nude woman is building a miniature house out of folded dollar bills.”

  6. Does this type of reporting ever get to you personally? Photo from BBC - Duty of the journalist
