About the Work
Every year, the magazine dedicates an issue at the end of December to "The Lives They Lived" featuring remembrances and appreciations of notable people who have died in the previous 12 months. In 2022 we set aside our typical approach and dedicated the issue to 12 American kids who died from gun violence, which has become the leading cause of death for Americans under 18 in recent years. To tell their stories, we sent reporters to interview their families and friends, to explore their neighborhoods and schools and favorite hangouts. Each profile is accompanied by photos and videos that were provided by the families. Interspersed among the profiles is a work of explanatory data journalism that defines and analyzes the epidemic that took these kids’ lives. It’s important not to see any of the thousands of American kids killed by firearms as simply “gun deaths.” They barely had a chance to live, but their short lives were their whole lives, the lives they lived, and we have tried to tell their stories.
