2020 in Review: Covering history in real time in South Jersey
This year felt like a decade.
It was full of headaches: long lines, empty store shelves (seriously, people, what s with the toilet paper thing?), face masks and so, so much hand sanitizer.
And it was full of heartache: missing friends and family, businesses struggling and sometimes closing for good, jobs, livelihoods and worst of all, loved ones we lost.
As journalists, we lived with all the same headaches and heartaches.
Like you, we watched in horror as a policeman choked the life out of a man, a blank expression on his face as the human being beneath his knee gasped and pleaded for his mother. The hope we felt as marchers took to the streets to demand justice and equality for all people turned to despair as some of those righteous protests turned into angry looting and burning.

It s common this time of year for news organizations to compile lists of the year s biggest stories.

Here s our list: COVID-19. Criminal justice protests. Joe Biden election.
Those three events dominated our year as well as the Delaware Online and The News Journal pages.
But you ve read all that, many times over, from many outlets. So, instead of a list of big stories, I asked the staff to send me their favorite story, photo or video they produced. No rules. Just what was your favorite and why.
