Stop the presses!
The G2 features section of The Guardian has today a very unique and sensitive story.
A very emotional one.
Amelia Gentleman writes a powerful story that starts with these headlines:
A day in the life of an old people’s home
Most of us will end our lives in an old people’s home just like this one.
The care is good; the staff are lovely.
And yet it’s hard not to be shocked by the reality of daily life here.
Read it, please.
And you will see how these are the kind of stories that our readers never will forget.
If your newspaper is not able to produce pieces like this one, believe me, cancel your subscription.
Amelia Gentleman, this fantastic journalist, moved to Delhi in February 2005, The Guardian’s bio says, to start work as New Delhi correspondent for the Observer and for the International Herald Tribune. In July 2007 she was named best foreign correspondent covering India.
“A place where elderly people are left by their families to die”
Great story.
Great design.
Great pictures.
Great headlines.
