The story of a girl raising her four younger sisters while both parents are in Iraq seems to speak to a lot of people, and it shows up on the front page of today’s Los Angeles Times: Soldiers’ daughter is on duty at home. They expanded the interview to include the parents, which is the logical next step and definitely improves the story.

No, that’s too mild: They did a fantastic job on the story, talking to the army, the mother via Instant Messenger and spent the day shadowing Audrey and, as a result, got fantastic quotes from the girls that I couldn’t get in my hour-long interview. I would have killed for that final kicker quote the LA Times got. Good stuff.
