About this organization
Mission
The Trace is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit journalism organization dedicated to reporting on gun violence in the United States. Employing the full toolsets of modern investigative reporting and audience engagement, we strive to expand public knowledge and spur accountability regarding an issue of under-appreciated national significance.
About
In 2019, the Trace published 339 articles, feature stories, special projects, and daily briefings. Our investigative journalism documented local law enforcement departments' increasing failure to solve the shootings of people of color, revealed the growing criminal use of home-assembled, unregulated 'ghost guns, and uncovered possible tax-exempt violations by a major special interest group. We worked with teen journalists to assemble an interactive project that profiled children killed by guns during the year following the Parkland shooting and produced an audio documentary on students' experiences during school lockdown drills. Our coverage engaged an audience of 4.2 million readers at thetrace.org, plus millions more who read Trace stories re-published by other media outlets.
