The Jill Carroll Story

Mark Johnson pointed out that Jill Carroll's story in the CSM "is written in a very unusual way. Jill writes large sections directly from her experience then a colleague, Peter Grier, steps in to write about what was happening at The Monitor and elsewhere in response to Jill's kidnapping. The paper signals each shift in perspective from Carroll to Grier by putting the writers initials in bold at the beginning of a section. I've never seen anything done like this before. It actually stresses the two distinct voices telling the story rather than attempting to blend them seamlessly.

"I'm wondering what other Gangrey readers think of this approach?"
