About the Event:
What if a story could do more than tell us what went wrong?
Join us for Solutions Journalism: New Paradigms for Storytelling, a training session with Dr. Shawn McIntosh, assistant professor, Master of Arts in Multiplatform Journalism (MAMJ) program chair, and director of the Center for Excellence in Journalism.
Discover how Solutions Journalism can help journalists move beyond simply reporting what is wrong and explore how people and communities are responding to real-world challenges.
The session will introduce key principles of this approach and offer practical ideas for applying them to your own stories.
