CBC Mails Out 50,000 Postcards To Track Mystery Illness Out East

It's not a letter from the government or the Board of Health. Instead, it's a huge red postcard from the CBC, attempting to find people suffering from a mysterious - and often fatal - illness that's affected residents in New Brunswick. I can't recall a news organization ever doing something like this before. We'll see if it yields any results.

The CBC has discovered a new niche in the last several years.  Data journalism.
