Mission and Program Overview

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 accountability regarding an issue of under-appreciated national signifiance.

In 2021, the trace published 373 articles, feature stories, special projects, and daily briefings. Much of our coverage during the year focused on the historic rise in gun violence during the pandemic, community-led interventions, and policymakers' uneven responses to the crisis. We also continued our investigative reporting on the national rifle association and completed a series of articles on the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives' failure to regulate gun dealers. Other stories exposed loopholes in protections for domestic violence victims and shortcomings in victims compensation programs. Our journalism engaged an audience of more than 2.5 million readers at thetrace.org, another 1.1 million on the apple news platform, and millions more who read trace stories re-published by other media outlets.
