  • Turning Stories into Action: The Power of Solutions-Focused Journalism

    Zoom: https://fiu.zoom.us/j/87483357420?pwd=gzSK34z8gAMbfiD7abZzVbJQGxGHUO.1

    Featured Discussion

    How can journalism move people from awareness to action? Drawing on her experience as the founder and publisher of Impact.Edition, Dr. Yulia Strokova will explore how solutions-focused journalism can spotlight credible responses to social and environmental challenges while remaining rigorous, critical, and independent. Through Miami-based examples, she will discuss how journalists can center community voices, examine evidence of impact, and avoid simplistic “hero narratives.” She will also demonstrate how stories can extend beyond the page through public exhibitions, print publications, newsletters, events, and partnerships, reaching new audiences and creating opportunities for participation. The presentation invites emerging journalists to think beyond documenting problems and consider how thoughtful, community-centered storytelling can inspire community engagement and drive meaningful action.
