from the Final Call

So what do you do next after you talk about violence in your community?

Richard Muhammad, editor of the Final Call, is looking to present stories that tell about ways that communities have faced the problem and found some solutions. And then the stories will link to organizations and resources on the web.

Here’s a fine story his paper did that laid out what has happened across the country when it comes to fighting violence in the black community. What makes it a better story is that it puts the problem into a larger context; that it helps the reader frame their own questions and that it moves the story ahead to what can be done.
