UVALDE, Texas — In the wake of a mass shooting that killed 21 in its hometown of Uvalde, Texas, a prominent local paper announced it would be happy for the day when the nation's media spotlight would shine anywhere else.
Reports will feature John Quiñones, Mireya Villarreal and María Elena Salinas, among others, who have already spent considerable time on the ground in Uvalde. As part of the initiative, ABC has also opened a satellite news bureau that will host a rotating crew of correspondents, producers, writers and technical staff.
"By becoming a permanent presence, instead of moving on after a few days or weeks, ABC News journalists will learn who we are, our concerns and joys, why we chose this community to raise our families and how we learn to trust it again," said Craig Garnett, owner and publisher of the"And if they listen closely, families of the 21 victims will share their grief and their halting progress in learning to cope -- and perhaps one day laugh again," Garnett added.
Following the Robb Elementary shooting, the paper's front page was printed all black and absent of text except for"May 24, 2022" in large white letters. It has spent the last two-and-a-half months reporting on the aftermath of the massacre: the funerals, the burials, the shattered dreams and the anger that has erupted as details of the bungled police response became clear.
ABC reporters and producers on the ground plan to document the lives of victims' families; cover local community events; follow city council, school board and Texas Legislature meetings; and attend congressional hearings in Washington, D.C., where victims' families have been advocating for gun reform.Listen
