What makes a great story for the Guardian’s Experience column?
“It’s sort of like what the supreme court justice said about pornography. It’s hard to define, but you know when you see it,” Rebecca Liu, commissioning editor of the Guardian’s Experience column, tells Michael Safi. “[It’s] a story that has a lot of humanity in it.”
We hear from three of the people featured in the column about their stories and what sharing those experiences meant to them.
