Journalism can enable its audience to solve conflicts and crisis through a constant flow of stories about new innovative ways to solve the problems, and look into how well society is organized to make such innovations happen.

This requires breaking the silos of the traditional news beats, since innovation is not a question of politics or business or technology, but of the combination of them. This is not about sugarcoating and hiding realities. This is about enabling people to find solutions to serious problems. In this workshop we will discuss the role of journalism in enabling societies to discuss new solutions to their problems, as well as their ability to find such solutions.
