    Inspired by Emerge's announcement of their award for Excellence in Journalism, I wondered what one article you would choose as doing the most to improve the understanding of ME/CFS?

    I guess there might be a brilliant article that had limited reach, or a pretty good one that was read by a lot of people - I'm not sure how you balance that in picking the best one.

    Knowing who is out there doing great work could help us identify who we should be sending ideas for stories to.

    Sean O'Neill's pieces about Maeve and her life, death and inquest would have to rank highly, because they increased public awareness of very severe ME/CFS in a way that probably hasn't happened before.

    George Monbiot's excellent article ("‘You don’t want to get better’: the outdated treatment of ME/CFS patients is a national scandal", in the Guardian).
