One World Media launches solutions-focused training for filmmakers

In 2022, One World Media, a nonprofit that encourages and celebrates better media coverage from the Global South, centered solutions journalism at the heart of its training program for filmmakers who would later attend its 2023 Global Short Docs Forum. The forum, which brought together 16 participants, emphasized “solutions oriented stories about people who are responding to complex problems with empathy and imagination.” One World Media’s annual impact report states it is “filling a gap worldwide” because the solutions-framed editorial approach “has been popular primarily in print and multimedia but not as much in documentary film.” The nonprofit also introduced the Women’s Solutions Reporting Award in 2022.
