What’s missing in today’s news? In this episode, Joanne and Sarah are in conversation with Mikhael Simmonds of the Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit media group training journalists to rigorously report on responses to social problems. Solutions based stories are highly effective ways to reach ordinary people and help them understand problems and challenges, along with potential ways to respond. Mikhael shares strategies and insights to rebalance the news by reporting on complexities and adaptive responses that set a higher bar for what citizens should expect from local institutions or governments.
