Introducing: The Philadelphia Shooting Victims Dashboard

We are honored to partner with AH Datalytics, LLC and The Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists to introduce this important resource. Please join us at the Better Gun Violence Reporting Summit: IBGVR.org
 

Summary:

During this session we will introduce and demonstrate The Philadelphia Shooting Victims dashboard.

This fully interactive resource will make official city data more accessible with a clickable interface enabling users to sort and merge totals by categories including age, race and year.

The dashboard will be available on our site along an embed code that all are invited copy and use on their own sites at no cost. Check our home page menu for a link by the end of the summit.

The Philadelphia Shooting Victims Dashboard was built by AH Datalytics, LLC, a data analytics consulting firm based in New Orleans.

The Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists and the Initiative of Better Gun Violence Reporting have been collaborating on this project and will continue working to make gun violence data more accessible.

We hope that our reporting colleagues find this resource helpful and we never forget that each and every entry represents a real person.
