“It’s tragic, really… We all have a story - a dark secret wrapped in emptiness and regret.
You know… The Toll.”
IT STARTED 3 YEARS AGO…
Well, 20 really. I spent 20 years in the newsroom at KTTS in Springfield, Missouri where I was the assistant news director. During that time, our reporters could dive into stories and truly investigate. I have covered many tragic stories and community-changing events over the years. As news styles have changed, there's only so many details you can put into a 60 second piece. The Toll is a place where a story goes beyond the headlines; a place where more voices can be heard.
