Description
Jessica Beard and colleagues ran in 2024 a consensus study to define harmful news reporting on community firearm violence. Such violence falls hardest on marginalized racial groups, and reporting can deepen the harm, yet no shared definition of harmful reporting existed. A modified Delphi process gathered views from people with lived experience, journalists, and scholars.
Twenty-one panelists rated twelve candidate content elements over three rounds, judging harm at the level of the person, the community, and society. Most elements were rated as causing moderate to severe harm, with ratings that varied by level. Final agreement was high. The study yields a shared definition and severity ratings that future work can use to judge and improve reporting.
