Covering Threats to Democracy Through a Solutions Lens

Journalists are covering a range of threats to democracy: political violence, rising polarization, and crackdowns on free speech. Solutions journalism provides a rigorous framework to cover these stories in ways that empower communities, avoid divisive narratives and prevent news avoidance.

Join us for a one-hour, virtual training about reporting on polarization, political violence, and free-speech crackdowns without fueling despair or news avoidance. You'll hear from George Chidi (The Guardian), Brandon Tensley (Capital B) and Lisa Kurian Philip (WBEZ / Open Campus Media).
