“Solutions journalism” – reporting on the search for answers to society’s problems – is on the rise. Writers and publishers alike are finding that solutions-based stories are attracting a more engaged audience and sometimes helping to bring about change for the better.

Pulitzer-prize-winning environment and energy reporter Elizabeth McGowan and Nina Fasciaux of the Solutions Journalism Network will discuss case studies with award-winning New York Times columnist and book author Carl Zimmer.
