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 2022, the trace published 424 investigations, news articles, feature stories, special projects, and newsletter briefings. Much of our coverage continued to focus on the historic increase in gun violence during the pandemic, community-led interventions, and policymakers' uneven responses to the crisis. We also completed impactful investigations on the sources of crime guns and the rise in shootings committed with guns converted for automatic fire; reported on the aftermaths of the mass shootings in buffalo, ny and uvalde, tx; and launched a local reporting initiative with initial micro-bureaus in chicago, il and philadelphia, pa. The trace's journalism engaged an audience of more than 2.9 million readers at thetrace.org, another 5.5 million on the apple news platform, and millions more who read trace stories re-published by other media outlets.
