The Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting (PCGVR) is funding a new organization for anti-gun journalists to collaborate and share information.
The organization is called the Association of Gun Violence Reporters (AGVR). It is founded by Kaitlin Washburn of the Chicago Sun-Times, Philadelphia-based independent journalist Sammy Caiola, Jennifer Mascia of the Trace, and Abené Clayton of the Guardian. The project aims to cover guns as a “systemic problem” and shift public perception about firearms.
“Covering gun violence can be overwhelming and isolating,” Caiola said. “It’s a complex topic that touches on policy, social science, trauma, the criminal justice system and a hundred other things. We wanted to give reporters who work on this beat, even just occasionally, a place to ask questions, seek mentorship, and release stress. We’re excited to see who comes to us and how we can lift up their work.”
The program will offer training, resources, collaboration opportunities, and mentorships to journalists reporting on “gun violence.” This program is just one of the programs across the country looking to use media coverage to push for political change on guns by trying to change the minds of Americans.
