Journalism is in urgent need of repair. Its preoccupation with dysfunction, corruption and pathology undermines public discourse, inhibits citizenship, and fails to provide society with key information to self-govern and self-correct.
The Solutions Journalism Network is leading a practice change to confront this failure, building capacity for reporting about responses to social problems. Weโve worked with over 10,000 journalists and 200 news organizations to cover society more comprehensively, revealing possibilities for civic agency and connection.
SJNโs Practice Change team operates at the core of this mission. It introduces offers resources and activities that catalyze the adoption of solutions reporting and hosts a network of learning and sharing geared to rapidly spread this professional shift. Our relationships with diverse newsrooms and individual journalists yield many hundreds of reporting projects a year.
