In 2023, four US news media outlets gave disproportionately high coverage to rare homicidal events perpetrated by strangers, including mass and school shootings, yet covered disproportionately few of the more common types of firearm violence, such as domestic violence. We call for responsible media coverage of firearm incidents to realign reporting to reality.
2023年,美国四家新闻媒体对陌生人实施的罕见杀人事件(包括大规模枪击和校园枪击)给予了极高的报道比例,而对更常见的枪支暴力类型(如家庭暴力)的报道却少之又少。我们呼吁媒体对枪支事件进行负责任的报道,使报道与现实相符。
