The Power of What's Working: Storytelling for Social Impact
Solutions Journalism was born out of the idea that there is deep value in mainstream media surfacing responses to social problems and covering them with the same rigor and insight required in covering the problem itself.
The work of the Solutions Insights Lab (SIL) is not journalism — it is targeted research — and supports storytelling and social change more broadly, by identifying and interrogating what’s working and what’s not in a sector or field. It is grounded in research, interviews and conversations in the hopes of advancing problem-solving knowledge.
Ambika will take the audience through the What's Working: Solving the World's Most Pressing Problems portal, and how it takes people and organization's stories through the arc of response, evidence, insight and limitations. Using these four pillars of solutions journalism, organizations can refine their story of social change and catalyze a myriad of outcomes.
What does it mean to use insights to build on innovation and impact within your organization and with your sector?
