Solution-oriented and Constructive Journalism: Towards Stories of Courage

In this workshop, participants will learn about the constructive approach in journalism. Why does this trend currently exist, and how do media deal with it? What is the power of journalism, and how can we use constructive journalism to use this power wisely?

The participants are invited to bring along their own topics, to research them, and to get to discuss them in a conference, as it is often done in news portals. A focus will lie on the power of headlines. Afterwards, we will discuss how to start the research for a story and why it is important to keep certain criteria of constructive journalism in mind during your whole research. What is being tried to convey to the reader?

In this way, the participants should find a new, constructive approach to stories and get to know the power of constructiveness.
