Washington correspondent Lisa Millar of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and video journalist Rob Hill recently came to Philadelphia, spending two nights on the street with Joseph Kaczmarek of the Gun Crisis Reporting Project to take a look at the challenge of reducing gun violence in our city. One of our strategies for impact includes supporting other journalists and news organizations who seek solutions to gun violence, and we helped this team get connected with many of the individuals working directly to reduce violence in our city. The Australian team was the latest among many local, national and international journalists to collaborate with the Gun Crisis team. We are expecting the next crew very soon.
