We made an amazing video about Newtown's struggle to figure out what to do with all the letters and art sent to the town.

We love the flexibility that print and digital formats give us, and diving deep on a print feature can be one step in a longer project that generates a lot of digital stories.

We've investigated the gun lobby and its political donations and how it spread the Stand Your Ground laws from Florida.
