TRANSFORMING JOURNALISM AND COMMUNITIES

The global network is using solutions journalism to strengthen communities,
advance equity, build trust and civic engagement, depolarize public discourse
and gain new sources of revenue.

Accountability
The solutions story that inspired Ecuador’s tourism minister
1/2024
See the story behind this impact
Reporter Gabriela Barzallo wrote a solutions story titled “¿Puede la bioeconomía
tomar el relevo al petróleo en la Amazonia ecuatoriana?” (“Can the bioeconomy
replace oil extraction in the Ecuadorian Amazon?”) for the Americas section of
El País, one of the most extensive and trustworthy Spanish-language outlets, in
June 2023. Shortly after, Ecuador’s minister of tourism, Niels Olsen, reached
out to discuss some of the nonextractive economic practices she explored in her
article, including ecotourism. In a plan for the country’s tourism industry
outlined at the beginning of 2024, the minister specifically mentioned his
intention to promote sustainable and entrepreneurial forms of tourism that would
benefit rural and indigenous communities.
Community engagement & action
WSHU changed the conversation and grew its audience
4/2023
See the series behind this impact
Beginning in April 2023, the Connecticut and Long Island public radio station
WSHU launched the “Trash Talkin’ ” series, focused on the local impact of waste
issues. Monthly meetings with community members, as well as engagement via the
station’s website, Facebook page and a live blog are core pieces of the
solutions-oriented editorial project. This approach, anchored in listening to
people affected by or interested in questions about trash, has led to the
production of dozens of stories, including from successful freedom of
information requests instigated through collaboration with the public. The
reporting led to the issue of waste becoming central in talking points around an
electoral campaign for executive roles in Suffolk County, according to J.D.
Allen, WSHU’s managing editor. This extensive community engagement has led to a
growing audience composed of people who were previously unaware of the station’s
existence and is being replicated across other projects pursued by the local NPR
affiliate.
Audience engagement
Solutions reporting energized a newsroom’s WhatsApp
3/2023
See the story behind this impact
The impact of solutions stories has been so positive that staff members at The
Citizen Bulletin, a hyperlocal digital publication based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s
second-largest city, are reluctant to share problem-focused stories with their
community of readers, according to Divine Dube, the editorial director.
Following the publication of stories such as “Gwanda Women Revolutionise Diaper
Disposal With Eco-Conscious Solution” and “Home-made Sanitary Ware Empowers
Girls To Stay in School,” an increasing number of engaged readers have grown the
Bulletin’s WhatsApp community by 2%-5%, or 20-50 people, per month. Sharing
articles about responses to social issues has led to more dynamic discussions in
the group and “sparked lively debates, invigorating our reporters with fresh
perspectives and story ideas for future reporting endeavors,” said Dube.
Dissemination
The solutions journalism newsletter course
2/2023
See the story behind this impact
Newsletter sign up
Emma Löfgren produced a seven-part email-based course on solutions journalism
for The Fix, a trade publication focused on the European media market. The
series, which spans the same number of weeks, was designed to provide “hands-on
tips for making your newsroom more solutions-focused, winning over skeptics and
keeping your closest allies on the right track.” Löfgren is also the deputy
managing editor of The Local, a digital publication covering news in English for
foreigners across various European countries, and editor of the The Local
Sweden. As a newsroom leader, solutions journalism is a key part of her
editorial priorities.
