In one exceptional piece of journalism, content creators led readers to understand everything about "The Wall" that President Donald's Trump has proposed for the U.S.-Mexico border.
That content includes an aerial video of every foot of the border. It allows people to explore every piece of fence and "even stand at the border in virtual reality."
It was made as an effort of the Arizona Republic with the USA Today Network, and it is the winner of a prestigious journalism award.
