According to their submission guidelines:<\/p>\n
“In the year or so since we launched, we’ve also come to realize the power of personal narrative in advancing our mission. A retired\u00a0Secret Service agent can illuminate the agency’s problems in ways a news story might miss. A\u00a0woman living with anxiety disorder can explain her experience in a way even the best statistics will hide. A\u00a0jailed Ferguson protester and a\u00a0former police officer can reveal things about the state of police-community relations that reporters will never see.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
