Fayetteville Observer reporter Greg Barnes discusses the latest installment of his 'Seeking Safety' series on how to solve the crime problem with Managing Editor Matt Leclercq. This part of the series features a return journey to High Point and the unique way that community is tackling this issue.
In November 2013, the Fayetteville Observer launched “Seeking Safety,” a yearlong series about public safety in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a city with a stubbornly high crime rate. Instead of continuing to publish the latest body count, reporter Greg Barnes explored effective responses to crime around the country and reported what Fayetteville could learn from them. The result was an award-winning series of solutions journalism. Share on twitter: https://twitter.com/soljourno (@soljourno) Share on facebook: https://facebook.com/solutionsjournalism
