Guns, an American Conversation retrospect
A coalition of American newsrooms owned by Advance Local launched “Guns, an American Conversation” with the journalism organization Spaceship Media. The project convened people on opposite sides of the social and political spectrum to engage in a dialogue around the polarizing topic of guns. The project began with an in-person workshop for 21 participants in Washington, D.C., on March 24 and 25, at the Newseum who worked with facilitators skilled in bringing people together across conflicting points of view. It then moved to an online Facebook conversation where 130 more people joined the conversation.
