You've heard about breaking news, but what about slow news? 

Join us as we shine a light on hot topics, but not as you know it; we want you to know the stories behind the big headlines. We'll slow down, take stock and show you the big picture and more importantly, shine a spotlight through a diverse lens of the real people behind them.
