What is Solutions-Focused Journalism?

Over to You

Available for over a year

Rajan finds out about a new approach to news which might leave you feeling inspired instead of depressed. Emily Kasriel is the head of Editorial Partnerships and Special Projects at BBC World Service and is steering the drive for 'solutions-focused' journalism. It is in response to BBC Audience research which found listeners want journalists to not only ask, “how did this happen and why?” but to ask “what next?” as well. Blind Man Roams The Globe, a three part series about blind journalist, Peter White exploring the sounds of Washington, Nairobi and Rio has listeners from around the world united in their praise for it.
