Explore the Solutions Story Tracker now with more than 10,000 stories about people building a better world. We have over 1,000 stories on how people are containing COVID-19, coping, and caring for each other during the pandemic. Discover effective responses for fair voting and electoral systems, and ways to improve race relations.

We train and connect journalists to cover what’s missing in today’s news: how people are responding to problems.

We’re working to bring solutions journalism to every newsroom worldwide.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT SOLUTIONS JOURNALISM IS +

Solutions journalism, in the words of our network.

Solutions Journalism...

  • Can be character-driven, but focuses in-depth on a response to a problem and how the response works in meaningful detail
  • Focuses on effectiveness, not good intentions, presenting available evidence of results
  • Discusses the limitations of the approach
  • Seeks to provide insight that others can use
