As audiences avoid negative news and public risk perceptions
fracture across polarized media ecologies, journalists are being
called upon to tell engaging and optimistic stories about the
future. Consequently, solutions journalism has moved from the
margins to the global mainstream, resulting in a plurality of new
solutions-focused practices. Solutions Journalism: News at the
Intersection of Hope, Leadership, and Expertise explores the
professional dynamics and tensions concerning solutions journalism,
clarifies these related practices and, in so doing, provides
scholars and journalists with a nuanced appreciation of the
opportunities and liabilities of reporting solutions. Drawing upon
a year-long study of journalism in Tasmania, Bill Dodd develops a
tripartite theory of solutions journalism at the intersection of
three core concepts: hope, leadership, and expertise. In
Australia's lagging southernmost province, where development
propositions have sparked global protest movements, 'New Tasmania'
represented a newly optimistic spirit of bipartisanship. Yet, in
this book, a close reading of solutions-focused discourse reveals
deeper asymmetries regarding whose voices are routinely privileged
in framing the future. On this basis, the book argues for a
solutions journalism founded on a nuanced understanding of hope and
a plurality of community leaders and practical expertise.
