<\/a>\u201cTo innovate and change, we need to know what\u2019s broken and how it needs to be fixed,\u201d says the Solutions Journalism Network website<\/a>. \u201cThe media does a good job of covering the problems: In fact, most hard news reporting is about problems and crises. That kind of reporting is essential. But we believe it\u2019s time for journalists to get used to covering the other half of the story. Not just risks, but opportunities. And not just problems, but solutions, too. Solution journalism is a way of reporting that helps society learn how to fix itself.
