2024 MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT
The Media Accountability Project (MAP) is a first-of-its-kind analysis of the racial and geographical disparities in media coverage of gun violence in the United States.
The report examines the portrayal of gun violence incidents across different communities, revealing significant biases and stereotypes that contribute to a skewed public perception of gun violence and its victims. The report is a pivotal tool to shift media narratives on gun violence towards more equitable and accurate representations and demonstrates the need for a balanced and people-centered approach to gun violence coverage.
The goal of the project was to determine the extent to which racial differences among the individuals and communities where gun violence occurs create real, measurable differences in the way that incidents are reported and ultimately viewed.
