Ep. #162: Solutions Journalism: An Exercise in Curiosity, with Marie von Hafften

Research suggests that journalism focused on solutions outperforms problem-focused news. "Solutions Journalism" feels more interesting, trustworthy, uplifting -- and inspires people to get involved. Marie von Hafften of the Solutions Journalism Network joins me to explore the role of curiosity and all-important trust in finding and telling those stories. Today's Curiosity Practice Harvest: Ask "who is doing it better?" Subject your own efforts to assessment and evaluation: are you having the impact you hope and or intend? (Re)Think whom you consider the "experts" and where insights and solutions may reside. Theme music by Sean Balick. “Filing Away” by Crab Shack via Blue Dot Sessions.
