"A part of what's going right": How solutions journalism changed a student newsroom

As grantees of the first Student Media Challenge from Solutions Journalism Network, the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism took on a unique assignment during the 2022-23 academic year: not just covering how local communities are addressing problems, but saving a cherished local paper in the process.
In this video, the students and educators behind a bona fide local news success story explain how reporting with a solutions lens built stronger relationships with their neighbors and helped students unlock a healthier way of reporting.
Do your students want to spend a year reporting on the nation's mental health crisis on campuses through with a solutions focus?
Applications for 2024-25 Challenge are being accepted through March 8.
