Columbine- Related Newspaper/Magazine Articles, Research Papers, TV News Coverage

There have been many newspaper and magazine articles, as well as several books and research papers written about the Columbine High School tragedy.

I have amassed a large number of these and present them here to make them more easily accessible to researchers. More will be added as I find them.

​

The misinformation presented, especially in the early days after the assault, only added to the confusion of what happened that day. Unfortunately, some of these convoluted stories still persist today and even recently written articles still contain and continue to propagate these myths and factual errors.
