The Gun Violence Data Hub

The Gun Violence Data Hub is a new initiative by The Trace that aims to increase the accessibility and use of accurate data on gun violence. Its team of reporters, editors, and researchers will collect, clean, and publish datasets. The team will also proactively work with other newsrooms, assisting journalists in their pursuit of data-informed reporting on one of America’s most urgent public health crises. 

The Data Hub, which will launch in fall 2024, will fill the gaps in the current data landscape, facilitate deeper reporting on gun violence, and increase public understanding of the issue. 

Journalists, we want to hear from you. Tell us about the challenges you face in reporting on gun violence data in the form below. We’ll be in touch.
