Analyzing "Solutions Journalism" for Equity, Inclusion, and Sustainability (PDF)

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 9,5, University of Jaume I, course: Communication for Peace, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this academic report is to analyse selected elements of the Solutions Journalism Network's (SJN) website www.solutionsjournalism.org with their alternative approach to solutions-based reporting for the purpose of transformation toward equity, inclusion, and sustainability. Among other things, the SJN seeks to strengthen communities, promote equity, and build trust through their work to increase civic engagement. Using this relevant theoretical framework as a basis, the homepage https://www.solutionsjournalism.org of the SJN as an object of study will be analysed with the help of two methods, focusing on two articles of different topics from their "Solution Story Tracker", which serve as the samples. The study deals with an analysis based on criteria of peace journalism with the aim to pursue transgressive communication for peaceful social change within cultural efficacy. At the same time, it strives to analyse the values of equity, inclusion and sustainability which are stated on the homepage with regard to the way they are presented.
