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

Comment couvrir ce qui nous divise sans nous diviser davantage ?

Immigration, élections, manifestations, religion… Les occasions pour les journalistes de couvrir les sujets clivants ne manquent pas. Dans la plupart des cas, leur couverture médiatique aboutit à davantage de polarisation. Dès lors, comment mieux s’attaquer éditorialement à ce qui nous divise, de façon à en honorer la complexité, les nuances, et à accroître notre tolérance pour des avis qui divergent ? Des solutions existent pour apaiser et renforcer le débat démocratique. Voici quelques pistes.
