The power of little-told stories

Pulitzer-prize winner Diana Marcum talks to Nieman Storyboard and explains how she searched California's Central Valley for the stories of a devastating drought: "It takes a little bit of time. We hang out, we just sort of invite ourselves in, and we eat samosas with the Singh family, and say, 'Oh, can we look at your almond tree?' And we do a lot of listening, maybe to things that would never end up in the story. People really want to talk, you know. I mean we all do."
