Below is an opinion column by Sid Salter:
Columnist Sid Salter says few writers have more to share on effective storytelling than does Bragg, who still writes at a high level and can teach it effectively, too.
As a journalist, writer Rick Bragg has covered most of man’s inhumanities to man–war, poverty, mass-casualty terrorist attacks, drug crime, riots, school shootings, outrageous politicians, overt and often violent acts of racism, hurricanes, tornadoes, graft and corruption and garden-variety injurious behavior.
