'Very often, and still now, a few tears came to my eyes.'
“Almost every person we spoke to was in some stage of grief, trauma or shock,” says Charlotte Greenfield, the firstcorrespondent to reach Christchurch, New Zealand, on the night a gunman opened fire in two mosques and killed 50 people.
Greenfield had the added challenge of being a New Zealander. She felt personally closer to events than many other journalists. “It was really the subject I was interviewing who taught me that, from the man I walked beside in the park who told me of his dramatic escape from the mosque, to the woman who wanted to show me photos of her husband who had died after running back to the mosque after initially getting out.
“For the next five days, I barely heard a conversation above a murmur,” Westbrook says. “It was a city in shock. At makeshift shrines to the victims, people gathered in silence, tears rolling down their faces.
