They have launched a Slack channel to help journalists share ideas and receive feedback on taking this approach with COVID-19, and will host a solutions journalism webinar in April. Solutions Journalism Network is supporting journalists to take on solutions-oriented reporting around the pandemic.
“They can be important watchdog stories, too, by showing practices that are working elsewhere that raise the question, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here too, in our community. “Those are important stories,” Shaw said. Stories like this one from CNN, about how South Korea pioneered drive-through testing centers that have increased COVID-19 testing access while minimizing the risk of contamination for healthcare workers, are examples of solutions journalism at its best: evidence-based reporting on the responses to social problems. In the face of constantly evolving information and news about the worldwide pandemic, a solutions journalism approach is not just helpful, it’s essential, Linda Shaw, editorial director at the Solutions Journalism Network, told IJNet. Much of this coverage is focused on the reality of the crisis - what is happening, what can be expected, and new guidelines issued by local and national governments.
Journalists are working around the clock to provide readers with comprehensive, up-to-date reporting on the COVID-19 global pandemic.
