#GunCrisis: Citizen Journalism For A Violent Epidemic
Description An ambitious project called ' #GunCrisis ' is chronicling Philadelphia’s explosion of gun crime, in the hopes of finding some solution to stop criminal and violent offenses on gun shooting.

According to one of the primary figures behind the project, Jim MacMillan, manager for media and social responsibility at Swarthmore College’s Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility, violent crime is a “public health issue” that needs to be tackled like a disease epidemic. One of #GunCrisis’s major goals, is keeping the victims of gun violence in the news.
