For nearly six years, the PCGVR newsletter has explored gun violence, prevention, and the role of the media, with an added focus on what’s happening here in Philadelphia and our activities at the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting. Now, we’re taking the next step.
Going forward, subscribers will receive AGVR News, a free monthly email newsletter from the Association of Gun Violence Reporters, the emerging national organization that we launched last year. That newsletter is written, edited, and produced by AGVR staffers, all working journalists who cover gun violence and prevention every day in newsrooms across the country. It brings together more perspectives, deeper on-the-ground reporting, and a broader view of the field.
Many of you have already been receiving both newsletters; now that work will come together in one place and we’re glad you’ll be part of it. You will still receive critical updates from PCGVR periodically through this channel as well.
