Newsflash: How solutions journalism can support systems change

Independent journalism plays a vital role in society – holding institutions to account, investigating wrongdoing and influencing policy.

But can the media also play a more proactive role in social change? Enter solutions journalism: rigorous reporting on responses to widespread social and environmental problems.

In this session, hosted by Pioneers Post we’ll explore what solutions journalism looks like; how it can support the rise of the ‘impact economy’ and how it overlaps with participatory problem-solving. We’ll also hear from a journalist reporting on systems change in the global South.

The session is aimed at journalists, communications professionals and all those interested in storytelling for social change.
