Simply the best
Every month, we ask you to rank a selection of outstanding I-Reports. Invariably, we have a difficult time trying to isolate the ones that really stand out -- and we couldn't be happier about that. Now that February's list has been hammered out, we'd once again like to know which ones are your favorites.
We encourage you to take a moment and rank February's best I-Reports (click through the gallery to read about them). It's an opportunity to recognize citizen journalists who've taken the time to tell us their stories. While we're at it, we'd like to celebrate those in the winners' circle, so check out the below list of past champs, plus the top three picks from January's contest. When storms, fires, freezing weather and tornadoes made headlines, your photos and videos provided on-the-ground perspective on current events. You showed us what it was really like and put a face on the news, even making your own video packages. We hope you'll keep those I-Reports coming.

Covering a catastrophe
![]() When tornadoes swept across the South and Midwest last week, killing 20 people, they were there. Lauren Aylworth, 16, was in the Science hall at Enterprise High School in Alabama when a tornado damaged the building, killing 8 of her classmates. Shaken and grieving, she still wanted to share her story with us and wanted the world to see the destruction to her school. She sent us a photo of what was left of the hall where she and many of her classmates survived the storm. ![]() Riveting images of destruction are a longtime staple of news. When calamity happens to strangers, readers are a little more detached. But when it happens to your friends and neighbors, the sense of loss hits home. I-Reporters captured that sense of loss with their photos. |
