Who is a mass shooter? How are the media doing in reporting on mass shootings? What are some of the ways to get guns out of the hands of people experiencing personal crises? In this episode of the Brainwaves podcast, we talk to Beverly Kingston with the University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence; Malcolm Graham, the brother of a shooting victim; Liz Skewes, journalism department chair at CU Boulder’s College of Media, Communication and Information; and Sara Brandspigel at the Colorado School of Public Health’s Program for Injury Prevention, Education & Research.
