Solutions Journalism
Eugene Lang College Lib Arts: Journalism + Design
CRN: 19671
Credits: 4
This advanced reporting course focuses on the practice of solutions-oriented reporting, an outcome-focused form of journalism, and assesses its impact on communities and social injustice in New York City. It is work that goes beyond passive news information to inspire and empower people to reengage with the world around them, helping them navigate their communities and understand the issues, but also what to do next. In a newsroom setting, student journalists each select a neighborhood to cover for the semester, utilizing a reporting and storytelling approach that examines what works and what is being done to address society’s most pressing challenges in a reimagining of journalism as a public good. This course satisfies the Reporting + Craft elective requirement for the Journalism + Design major.
