Training and conviction

Training and conviction

Although I'm not working for a newsroom right now because I'm a freelance photojournalist, I think the first steps is education and training about what SJ is and, in this way, courses like this one are so valuable! I liked the course so much!

Education about what is SJ is so necessary to understand that SJ is not PR, but an important way to give voice, solutions or guide to communities, for example.

Another way is convincing to owners and editors that SJ can generate revenues for the media, that SJ is not a waste of time and resources.

In my particular case, one thing I have to do is convince to editors that my SJ story is worth and that it is worth to pay for a freelance journalist (that, besides, can make professional photos and video). I love the idea of making good stories accompanied by my photos and videos.

par ilere Anne Doris,
I agree with you... In my case it's train, train and train, this is because journalists are still focused on the negative reporting to sell their stories, the tide is changing now and we need to change with it... In addition Solution Journalism is still a novelty in my community and the audience too as still awe struck... But now it's forms for better reading and it's more exciting... There are lots and lots of unreacted solutions stories thar we need to explore and to me personally, this course came at the most opportune time... This is what I am now doing in my community radio, we are starting small and we shall grow...
