Organizer of The Better Gun Violence Reporting Summit on Community Gun Violence
What if changing the way journalists cover gun violence could actually prevent shootings and save lives? We're going to try to find out. Let's collaborate!
The Initiative for Better Gun Violence Reporting is a project led by independent multimedia journalist and educator Jim MacMillan, in his role as a residential fellow at the Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
