Overview
In contrast to much of traditional journalism, which focuses on problems and crises, Solutions Journalism Network aims to legitimize rigorous, compelling reporting about solutions. Launched in 2013 by acclaimed industry veterans, it has found early success at providing targeted funding, strategic connections, and training for journalists on how this practice can fit within their long-standing approaches, meet growing audience demand, and satisfy publisher needs. This capacity-building grant will help the organization implement better tools and systems for "social listening," with the goal of better understanding the links between solutions journalism and shifts in public discourse.
