Thanks for your many fine submissions to our Great Moments in Journalism project; please keep them coming. (Please note this is a different e-mail address than the tips line: We'd hate to bog down that inbox and miss a sighting of Frankie Muniz at Privilege.) Our inaugural candidate comes from that hometown favorite The New York Times, where Dan "Don't Call Me D. Francis" Barry recounts the story of Bryce McMillan, the Bronx toddler who fell seven stories but miraculously survived.

The whole column is noteworthy, GMIJ-wise, particularly this clever use of line breaks to depict the descent:

"This boy falling.
Past the fifth floor.
Past the fourth.
Past the third, falling so fast you'd have seen only a babyish blur.
Past the second.
Past the first.
Past the ground-level lobby.
All told, past six windows, each one featuring a window guard."

But what really made the column a Great Moment in Journalism in its submitter's eyes was the way it ended:

Bryce is now at Jacobi Medical Center, charming nurses, eating food from McDonald's, and waiting for some congestion to clear so that he can be sedated and fitted with a cast.

Then he will go home, where that calendar on the wall will forever remind his parents how time flies, and sometimes babies.

We'll determine whether this one merits the award at the end of the week. In the meantime, please feel free to suggest your own. Note to reporters who are submitting the work of their colleagues: We will, of course, keep you confidential, but it might be wise to use a gmail account or something, in case your employers monitor your outgoing mail.
