“If there’s 100 journalists, the job of 99 of them is to point to the problem. But 1% of us have to then go, ‘Well, what are we going to do about it?’ That’s where solutions journalism comes in. That’s what excites me,” said Oliver Balch, a British freelancer based in Portugal. Solutions journalism is “rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems,” according to the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN).
