More than 2,300 participants from 137 countries recently completed the massive open online course (MOOC) \"Solutions journalism: New ways of elevating your reporting and engaging audiences.\"<\/strong> It\u2019s now available as a free self-directed course and can be taken at any time, at your own pace.<\/p>\n

\"Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n

ACCESS SELF-DIRECTED COURSE<\/a><\/p>\n

The course is organized by the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and is sponsored by the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN). It\u2019s taught by Hugo Balta, owner and publisher of the Latino News Network and an accredited solutions journalism trainer.<\/p>\n

The course is comprised of four modules, along with an introductory module in which Balta dispels common misconceptions about solutions journalism and gives students insight into how they can apply the practice to a variety of beats in different mediums, including print, online and broadcast.<\/p>\n

During the course, Balta also explains how to leverage solutions journalism to build trust with audiences, increase engagement and loyalty, and drive impact and accountability. The curriculum also includes the exploration of best practices in solution journalism from across the globe, how to propose a story\/series, and how to measure its success.<\/p>\n

Balta, a seasoned news veteran with over 30 years of experience, has led newsrooms in multiple markets and platforms, including The Chicago Reporter, Chicago\u2019s PBS Station (WTTW) and Telemundo New York. He has served twice as president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2016. Additionally, he\u2019s an adjunct professor at Columbia College Chicago.<\/p>\n

The course also includes video recordings with guest speakers, including Kavita Chandran, journalism trainer and news content advisor from Singapore; Chibuike Alagboso, journalist with Nigeria Health Watch; and Swati Sanyal Tarafdar, a LEDE Fellow and accredited solutions journalism trainer from the SJN.<\/p>\n

After the initial offering of the course as a MOOC, student James Hall impressed Balta with a thought-provoking piece<\/u><\/a>about wildlife conservation efforts in Colombia.<\/p>\n

Hall\u2019s article \u201cdoes well in outlining the four pillars of solutions journalism in unpacking the complicated social problem of increasing human population encroaching on wildlife and the need for a relationship based on coexistence and conservation,\u201d Balta said, emphasizing that this is the primary objective of the course.<\/p>\n

Hall said he \u201cjumped at the chance\u201d to sign up for the Knight Center\u2019s solutions journalism course, in part because he had recently been reading about the solutions journalism movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my perspective, there is a clear need to explore alternatives to the current focus on problem-based reporting, which has resulted in a media ecosystem with all sorts of harmful societal consequences, from news fatigue and public disengagement to negativity bias,\u201d he said. \u201cEmbracing a more nuanced and solutions-oriented approach to journalism is not only more ethical but also leads to better reporting and is truer to life because, no matter how challenging the situation, there are always constructive responses or the potential for these to emerge over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall said he\u2019s still incorporating what he learned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course has definitely enhanced my reporting skills, boosted my confidence, and massively improved my abilities as a beginner freelance writer and journalist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Students who take the self-directed course<\/u><\/a> will have access to all video classes, recordings of chats with guest speakers and reading materials \u2013 all designed to provide a robust learning experience.<\/p>\n
