Covering an out-of-control crisis: looking at how the media reports on gun violence

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Throughout the country, families and communities are being torn apart by guns. Mass shootings here, a random bullet there. The violence is so rampant and pervasive, it's hard not to feel numb to the crisis. What responsibility does the media bear to make sure we understand just how devastating the effects of guns are on American life? Dr. Jason Gravel, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Temple University, believes gun violence coverage has improved since mass shootings like Columbine and Sandy Hook, but a lot more progress needs to be made.
