Solutions Journalism: an introduction to solutions-focused development reporting

The third guide of our series on solutions journalism, in collaboration the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN), is now available. After "Solutions Journalism: an introduction for journalists and newsrooms" and "Solutions Journalism: 11 tough questions on how to do solutions journalism​", this new free resource illustrates new possibilities of improving development reporting through best practices and community solutions. The guide aims to switch the attention from problems to progress, to inspire action, and to create sustainable development.

Development reporting should brighten the path to progress, not just the barriers.
