When I was doing research for my Journal of Mass Media Ethics article about

mass murder coverage, I realized how inadequate most of the existing services

are for looking up news articles.  Consequently, I have been putting together

a simple data base of articles related to gun rights, mass murder, and related

topcis for some time.  The enclosed CSV format data base contains such

articles.  Please note the header line.  You should be able to import this

into Excel or most other data bases.  



Please send me CSV formatted entries to add to this data base.  You will

notice that many of the articles appeared in our local fishwrap.  Even if you

can't get access to it in your local library, this at least gives you a date

to look for similar wireservice articles about that subject.



If you have any news clippings to contribute to this, please FAX them to me

at (707)795-7921.  Thank you.
