Covering Chicago’s Gun Violence—Names, Not Numbers

As the nation reels from another mass shooting, some Chicago reporters are doing more nuanced coverage around gun violence. The city’s name is often invoked in national conversations about gun violence and control. But shootings here — like the one in Park Manor that left two people dead and 13 others injured last week — don’t always make prominent lists of “mass shootings.” Jacoby talks with Lakeidra Chavis of The Trace about why that is and how to grieve for gun violence victims near and far.
