"Covering School Shootings"

I wanted to call your attention to an online package we've been privileged to help compile, along with our counterparts at the Collegiate Times, the student newspaper at Virginia Tech. It's an educational project for the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, an organization that has been immensely helpful to us since the NIU tragedy of 2-14-08. The package is called "Covering School Shootings."

It's a comprehensive look at how both student papers covered their respective tragedies, and what lessons were learned. It's not graphic, but I'll caution you, it's some emotional stuff.
