Since June 2023, we have featured dozens of articles on this page about a wide variety of firearm violence and trauma-related topics, all thanks to funding from the Joyce Foundation.

We’ve covered:

• The best practices for reporting on firearm suicide, here and here.
• The latest research and most useful data on the topic.
• Other health issues that intersect with gun violence, like domestic violence, opioid addiction and mental health. 
• The importance of sharing survivor stories, and we provided resources to help, along with more useful reporting tips.
• Data to help you cover school shooting trends.
• Key glossary terms to help you navigate this beat.
• Overall information on American gun violence, such as 2023’s totals and how the country compares to its counterparts. 
• Tips for covering mass shootings. 
• Studies on the mistakes the news media makes when covering gun violence. 

But there is always room for improvement. That’s why we want to hear from you. We want to know how this page has helped your reporting and what’s missing from our coverage.
