Improving representation through a solutions lens: Photojournalists’ perception and implementation of solutions visual journalism
Abstract: This study explores the use of solutions visual journalism as a practice to improve media representation of vulnerable populations. A solutions-oriented approach involves reporting on what people are doing in response to a problem. In-depth interviews were conducted both before and after photographers carried out a grant-funded photo project as part of the inaugural worldwide Solutions Visual Journalism Initiative. Findings will explore solutions visual journalism from the creator’s perspective and how it may improve representation.
