Abstract: This study examines how solutions journalism education translates to professional practice, through in-depth interviews with current media professionals who encountered solutions journalism when they were in college. Findings suggest that solutions journalism education resonates powerfully with students, and incorporating the practice in J-school curriculum may have the potential to re-engage disenchanted students. While there remain significant barriers to practicing the approach in the workplace, participants revealed that their encounters at university with solutions journalism positively impacted their reporting style, interview skills, and perspective of journalism’s role in society.
