Firearm violence is largely covered in the media as a crime issue focused on individual shooting events. But experts assert that reframing firearm violence as a broader public health issue is crucial to finding policy and community solutions aimed at preventing deaths and injury from guns.
Join the Association of Health Care Journalists and the National Press Club Journalism Institute at 11:30 a.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 9, for a free conversation among experts and journalists on where to find the best data and research on firearm and gun deaths for your reporting.
In this 75-minute webinar, we’ll explore the gaps, go-to resources, and facts and myths about firearms and firearm ownership. Participants will also learn:
- The differences among firearm violence, such as what is a mass casualty event versus a mass shooting.
- Where to find new research on firearm violence.
- How news coverage of firearm violence impacts victims and frontline health workers.
- How to move thinking of firearm violence as “the crime beat” to more nuanced coverage across beats.
