The Day and theday.com have a longstanding holiday tradition of publishing a series on interesting local people who come to our attention or more often, whom the newsroom seeks out, because the subjects are typically not in the limelight. The articles share a theme, and the one for 2020 was crystal clear: people who stepped up to help others in this difficult year. They are the bright lights of 2020.
Eleven articles in all, done by Day reporters and photojournalists, recount the response of people, through their jobs or volunteering, to the familiar litany of hardship: pandemic deaths, emergency calls, recuperation, hunger, job loss, evictions and no way to pay the rent; and in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, the need to re-assert the pervasiveness of racism. The effects of pandemic and protest often overlapped.
As The Day s military/defense reporter, I work to explain complex issues in a way the everyday citizen can understand. On any given day, I can be found poring over defense budgets, writing a feature on a local veteran or documenting the impact of deployments on those left behind. I even spent two nights aboard a submarine.
