Colombian journalist Laura Dulce Romero was burnt out and considering quitting the trade. But a new style of reporting, Solutions Journalism, caught her attention: this method seeks to report news in a constructive way. In this six-part series, Laura puts the SoJo methodology – which can be summarised by the acronym WHOLE – to the test by interviewing practitioners about what SoJo offers by way of a solution to journalistic burnout, how it works, observations from those who use it, the limitations of the approach, and evidence that support its claims.
