New York Times reporters reflect on covering Chicago’s violence over Memorial Day weekend
In an article for the New York Times‘s Times Insider feature, a team of Chicago- and New York-based reporters for the paper reflect on their time covering on the gun violence in Chicago over the notoriously bloody Memorial Day weekend, during which 69 people were shot. The team, which has already published moving chronicles of victims Precious Land and Veronica Lopez, promises that more stories will be forthcoming: “That weekend, we went wide. . . . Since then, we’ve gone deep. Taken together, we hope the work will help people better understand why this violence is occurring and what needs to happen to end it.” [New York Times]
