Reporting Beyond the Problem
explores the key ways journalism can— and should— improve its relationship with the public. In doing so, the book offers an invaluable resource not only for those researching and teaching journalism, but for anyone working to make the profession better.”— Jacob L. Nelson, Assistant Professor, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication, Arizona State University
“In these perilous and polarized times, with so many citizens distrustful of journalists and increasingly disengaged from the news they report, the future of democratic society may well rest on finding a better way to ‘do journalism.’ This book offers not one or two good ideas but eight, each a distinctive approach to journalism that focuses less on what is going wrong and more on what might be done about it. Some of the concepts will be familiar to readers and others likely will be new, but all highlight a way forward through reporting that embraces the complexity of the challenges we face but refuses to let them define us.”— Jane B. Singer, Professor, School of Arts and Social Sciences,
City, University of London
“Reporting Beyond the Problem offers a timely and clear overview of many of the practices and movements that are imagining a better future for journalism— from peace journalism, to solutions journalism, to engaged journalism, and more. This book will be invaluable for educators, and thought provoking for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in not only what stories journalists tell but how they are told.”— Andrea Wenzel, Assistant Professor, Klein College of Media and Communication, Temple University
