Solutions Journalism is not far from traditional or 'problem' journalism. They both requiere thorough, rigorous and extensive research if they want to reach quality, therefore, the first step I would take to introduce SJ to a newsroom would be to point out the similarities between it and traditional journalism. Furthermore, I would not only remark on similarities, but in how SJ complements traditional journalism. As Swati Sanyal Tarafdar said, SJ "completes the circle of journalism" because it takes the audience beyond the problem, it adds a new question to the always necessary why, when, who, what, where and how: what comes next, as Hugo said in one of the first module videos.
Taking that into account, I think that the first step to introduce a robust SJ practice would be to point out how can it add quality to the investigations we are already doing, and from there keep delving into the benefits of it: more engagement, interest and trust from audiences; new narratives that fight despair and impotence towards big social problems; it motives collective action towards slices of those problems and portrays people beyond the 'victim' category and gives them back their agency -power to the people!-; it creates a space where journalism can be more active in collective development and to really fight inequalities and big social problems. Additionally, and as we saw this week, SJ can contribute on economic sustainability of a project and helps fighting 'news exhaustion' among audiences and also journalists.
Solutions Jorunalism, therefore, is truly an innovative and infinite tool. I am absolutely convinced it can really benefit all of the 'media chain': from the reporter who writes the story to the final consumer and the audience. Media in general should be really thinking about how to introduce it into their content and teams.
