Collaborative work has been one of the emphasized term throughout the course. There is no doubt that building solutions journalism networking is an important step to integrate solutions stories in newsroom. 

Once people have communicated and work with existing solutions journalists, it will be natural for other journalists start to view things through solution angles and adopting the new way of reporting. 

Besides taking the solution journalism lens at the beginning, it will also be helpful for further deep investigations and revising the solution stories and series which better conduct information to audiences by collaborate with other colleagues.

Natalie, I completely agree and would also like to do some collaborative work on solutions journalism and make the most of this forum to make new contacts.

I agree, Natalie.

Also, a network of solution journalists would be helpful in evaluating solutions stories and giving feedback. Which other angles could have been explored? Were the evidences presented really enough? Weren't some problems of the solution overlooked? If we have these conversations about the results of our reporting, we can also prevent the accusations of advocacy and feel good journalism.
