How should journalists and media professionals cover gun violence in rural areas and in what ways do those methods differ from covering the same issue in major metropolitan areas? The Association of Gun Violence Reporters held a conversation with journalists, researchers and other experts to explore this topic.
Guest speakers include:
Paige Pfleger, senior criminal justice reporter at WPLN News, Nashville Public Radio, and a fellow with ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network.
Dené K. Dryden, health reporter for the Rochester Post Bulletin in Rochester, Minn.
Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, the Bartley Dobb Professor for the Study and Prevention of Violence, and Director of the Center for Firearm Injury Prevention at the University of Washington.
Abené Clayton, reporter for the Guardian US’s West Coast bureau and currently lead reporter on the “Guns & Lies in America” series
