The editor’s note posted at the end of the stories says all you need to know: “For this project, USA TODAY partnered with The Trace, a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to improving public understanding of gun violence, increasing accountability and identifying solutions.”
For those of you who may not have heard of The Trace, here’s some background information:
- The Trace describes itself as the “only newsroom dedicated to reporting on gun violence.”
- It has slick digital packages that are chockfull of stories, photos and videos, so it’s easy to confuse The Trace with an actual news website.
