This WHOLE story stopped me quitting journalism

Colombian journalist Laura Dulce Romero was ready to quit journalism – and all the gloom and angst that goes with it – until a chance encounter with a new style of reporting made her reconsider. But what exactly is "solutions journalism"? And it will stand up to its own WHOLE test?

With the problem clearly defined, this episode delves into how SoJo poses an alternative approach – with insights from Jaime Buerguer, managing editor at Fix, Tom Colls, producer at People Fixing the World, Chani Guyot from Argentina's RED/ACCION, and Katherine Long, editor of the Seattle Times Education Lab.

Journalist Laura Dulce Romero talks to Minority Report's Caleb Okereke and Tina Rosenberg from the Solutions Journalism Network about how SoJo reporting has helped under-represented communities feel more seen and better represented.

No good SoJo story is complete without an honest look at the limitations of the solutions proposed, and in this episode Laura dives into the thorny topic of finance, dedicated resources, and blockages in the education pipeline.

In the final episode of this series, Laura speaks to Karen McIntyre, professor of journalism at Virginia Commonwealth University, about what research data is available to support the idea that SoJo is a solution for burnt-out audiences, and recaps the anecdotal evidence that SoJo is a balm for burnt-out journalists.
