Solutions journalism is an approach to news reporting that focuses on the responses to social problems, not just the problems themselves.
Solutions stories, anchored in credible evidence, explain how and why responses are working, or not working. The goal of this journalistic approach is to present people with a truer, more complete view of these issues, helping to drive more effective citizenship.
