No, I mean my first in-depth piece of independent journalism, doing extensive background research, interviewing many experts in the field (I think I had around 9 interviews). Usually I report on stuff already in the news that I would like to draw my reader's attention to, or choose a hot topic and then report on all the recent stuff going on about that particular issue. This was the first time where I interviewed doctors, pathologists, ecologists, etc; got quotations, and wrote about something that has never been reported on in the news before.

If not, then don't you write several pieces of independent journalism a week? This article is very good, by the way.
