In partnership with the The City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism, we will gather a diverse mix of cross-sector community stakeholders to have an expert-facilitated conversation on what we know about the state of pedestrian safety in the city, how it's covered, how we talk about it in our communities and what further information we seek.
 
ASNE's National Community and News Literacy Roundtables Project is partnering with The City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism for a community dialogue on pedestrian safety and traffic policy Aug. 13 in New York City. The city's civic leaders, community residents and journalists will gather for this roundtable.

Every year, hundreds of pedestrians die from car accidents in the city, but their deaths don't receive the same coverage as fatalities that result from violence. Is the public getting comprehensive and balanced coverage of the number of traffic-related deaths and traffic policy enforcement? What kinds of information are citizen decision-makers using to inform their view on the debate?

We will gather a diverse mix of cross-sector community stakeholders to have an expert-facilitated conversation on what we know about the state of pedestrian safety in the city, how it's covered, how we talk about it in our communities and what further information we seek. A key outcome of the discussion will be developing ideas for informing, influencing and encouraging the conversation about this issue in communities in the city. 

To bring a roundtable to your community, contact Project Director Clair Lorell at clorell@asne.org or 571-366-1152.
