There is still much room for the entrenchment of Solutions Journalism (SoJo) in developing nations loaded with what may seem to be unlimited socio-economic problems including basic human needs.

Journalists in the continent- especially those in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania - where Science Africa is also actively involved on a daily basis with media houses, journalists' associations, individual journalists and university students, are keen on sharpening their SoJo skills.

However, the memory of the official launch of SoJo which was loaded with not very hidden skepticism mostly by those who had never interacted with Science Africa remains vivid. Two journalists made it clear that there was no room for SoJo in their beat and more so when launched at a science conference.

The launch had been scheduled to coincide with the 8 th KEMRI Annual Scientific and Health Conference of 14 th-16 th February 2018 which was also attended by researchers from other continents. It served as a major starting point and an opportunity for journalists who were also undergoing training including assignments to identify, pitch and generate credible SoJo stories.

However, others who seemed only worried about being indulged in public relations quickly noted the difference and the untapped potential to credibly and effectively inform and educate their audience based on the four pillars- People's Response, Evidence and the Effectiveness, Insight and Limitation.

Solutions Journalism has actively changed how journalists and newrooms report news and there is still room for improvement. Some of the journalists who attended the launch of 2018, are now editors, senior writers, heads of professional media associations and are among our top trainers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.

Angela Oketch who was among the pioneer SoJo trainees and is now a leading trainer was awarded an international scholarship to Colombia Journalism School in USA with strong recommendations from Science Africa.

Additionally, some of the newsrooms trained under the SOJO newsroom program by Science Africa have gone ahead to have key focal persons for SOJO in their newsrooms who help in checking whether the stories meet SOJO threshold. For instance, Steve Nsamaza of Rwanda Dispatch and Jael Namiganda of Metro FM in Uganda.

In practical terms #SolutionsJournalismDay - October 26! is a major success towards sustainability. Already, a number of universities including-Rongo University and Kibabii Universities in Kenya, Makerere University in Uganda and the University of Rwanda associated with Science Africa are introducing SoJo in their journalism curriculum.

Um absurdo sem tamanho e sobre o qual todo brasileiro precisa gritar e espernear!! Quem ganha com todo esse investimento feito pelo Estado brasileiro para a cadeia da soja?? A bancada do agro e o resto do mundo. Quem perde?? A população, a saude e a cultura alimentar brasileira. Soja é sinônimo de destruição e concentração de renda na mão de pouquíssimos, não gera emprego, e a perpetuação de um Brasil fornecedor de matéria prima e submisso. Isso precisar ser cancelado já!

Na iminência da votação da Reforma Tributária pelo Senado Federal (deve ser na próxima semana a votação na CCJ), passei as últimas semanas imersa junto às equipe sde comunicação e advocacy para lançar um estudo importantíssimo. E hoje lançamos pela rede. Confiram: 🏦 Qual o papel da política tributária no crescimento da cadeia produtiva da soja? Estudo inédito mostra como incentivos fiscais contribuíram decisivamente para a estruturação e crescimento desta cadeia no Brasil. Somente em 2022, foram R$57 bilhões em renúncias fiscais. 🌾 A pesquisa também apresenta como nenhuma outra cadeia produtiva recebeu fomentos tão volumosos por parte do Estado brasileiro, aponta o autor Arnoldo de Campos. 📈 Analisando a renúncia fiscal no âmbito dos estados, a desoneração do ICMS da soja é de quase R$8 bilhões por ano apenas em Mato Grosso, por exemplo. 🔎 A investigação é das organizações ACT Promoção da Saúde, Instituto Democracia e Sustentabilidade (IDS), Observatório das Economias da Sociobiodiversidade (ÓSocioBio), Instituto Brasileiro de Defesa do Consumidor (IDEC) e Instituto Sociedade, População e Natureza (ISPN). 🔗 Confira o estudo completo: https://bit.ly/estudosoja!

Apaixonada e entusiasta da Amazônia | Diretora na Manioca | Especialista em alimento amazônico | Palestrante (temas: inovação, bioeconomia, desenvolvimento de produtos alimentícios, negócio de impacto)

A Manioca foi fundada há quase 9 anos e durante todo esse tempo levou e apresentou pra muitos brasileiros, e até estrangeiros, o Tucupi amarelo, e vários outros ingredientes de nossa rica e amada culinária, mas, curiosamente, não estava no mercado de Belém. No último ano começamos a nos perguntar, porque não? E entendemos que nossa vontade de fazer a Amazônia ser conhecida Brasil a fora, através de seus incríveis sabores, era tão grande que nos impediu de enxergar que estar disponíveis e acessíveis para os paraenses também era muito importante e necessário. E foi assim que há alguns meses começarmos a entrar nos supermercados de Belém, nos aproximando, conhecendo e entendendo melhor o paladar e a paixão que todos tem por esse produto emblemático e delicioso. Isso fez com que nos desafiássemos, nos questionássemos e ajustássemos vários detalhes na nossa produção e nosso produto, o que foi maravilhoso pra nosso aprendizado e melhora. E porque estou cotando essa história pra vcs agora? Porque é Círio de Nazaré. O Círio é uma festa religiosa e cultural na qual o "paraensismo" aflora na cidade e o Tucupi é uma das estrelas principais dessa festa (que me perdoe a Nazinha), porque faz parte do almoço do Círio e de vários outros pratos consumidos neste período de festa e alegria. É a festa mais importante do ano para qualquer pessoa que tenha nascido ou vivido nessa cidade. É o Natal dos paraenses. E estar presente neste momento, na mesa de tantas famílias é algo que me emociona e motiva demais. Que este seja o primeiro de muitos Círios em que possamos levar sabor, cultura e muito prazer para a mesa dos paraenses, com as bençãos de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré e dos Encantados, que protegem nossos povos ancestrais, nossas florestas e a todos que fazem o bem. PS: Pra quem está em Belem, encontre Tucupi Manioca nas redes Líder, Mais Barato, Econômico e Tudo Conveniência. Pra quem está fora de Belém, pela nossa loja virtual você consegue comprar e receber em qualquer lugar do Brasil: www.maniocabrasil.com E pra quem quiser ter Tucupi e outros ingredientes amazônicos em sua loja ou restaurante deixa uma mensagem aqui que nosso time comercial entra em contato com vc.

Apaixonada e entusiasta da Amazônia | Diretora na Manioca | Especialista em alimento amazônico | Palestrante (temas: inovação, bioeconomia, desenvolvimento de produtos alimentícios, negócio de impacto)

Hoje eu tive o imenso prazer e felicidade de falar sobre culinária paraense, Manioca , empoderamento cultural e Amazônia para uma turma de 44 crianças do Peteleco / Cemp, uma escola particular de Belém, onde meu filho, Lucas, estuda. E porque isso me deixou tão feliz?? Primeiro porque adoro falar sobre esses temas (acho que quem me segue aqui já sabe disso, não é?! Kkk). Segundo porque fui convidada pra isso porque a escola está realizando um trabalho interdisciplinar com seus alunos do sétimo ano que está os levando a pesquisar sobre a culinária amazônica paraense e, é extremamente importante que reforcemos em nossas crianças esse e outros aspectos de nossa cultura, cultura local e brasileira, especialmente num mundo com tantas influências internacionais ostensivas (isso é resistência). E por último, pq tudo isso está acontecendo na escola a partir de uma provocação que fiz a eles no ano passado, quando soube que q escola promovia um projeto de festival de cozinha internacional, mas não tinha nada relacionado a cozinha local. E felizmente, eles são bem inovadores (e não à toa meu filho estuda lá), entenderam que fazia sentido a provocação e se propuseram a mudar. E este é um grande exemplo de que muitas vezes só não mudamos aquilo que nos incomoda, pq não tentamos ou agimos minimamente pra isso. Que outras escolas Brasil a fora se inspirem neste exemplo e promovam cada vez mais a cultura alimentar amazônica e/ou brasileira entre seus alunos. Que tal, gostou de saber desse episódio do meu dia? Me conta, o que vc já fez para mudar aquilo que te incomodava e que gerou impacto no seu entorno?

❓ L'éducation aux médias, essentielle pour apprendre à exercer un esprit critique ? C'est ma question du matin... Vous avez trois heures ! J'ai débuté, hier, un nouvel atelier en mission locale. Pendant trois jours, une dizaine de jeunes, âgés de 18 à 22 ans, deviennent journalistes. L'occasion d'aborder la définition de l'information, la vérification des sources, comment déjouer les fake-news. 📱 D'évoquer aussi leur temps d'écran 😬 Entre 7h et 10h dans ce groupe... par jour ! 😵 Ils ont tenté hier après-midi, pendant l'atelier, de ne pas regarder leur téléphone, mais cela a été difficile. Comment leur apprendre en trois jours à exercer un esprit critique face aux nombreuses informations qu'ils reçoivent chaque jour ? Cela peut paraître un peu utopique. 🧰 Moi, je vois ce temps comme un moyen de les outiller. Leur permettre de comprendre que les compétences acquises peuvent être appliquées dans divers domaines de leur vie, que ce soit pour rechercher un emploi, prendre des décisions éclairées ou participer activement à la société. 🤝 Mais, c'est aussi un moyen de renouer du lien, en quartier populaire, un lien de confiance avec les médias. 100% des participants pensent que les journalistes ne disent pas toujours la vérité. En leur exposant les principes de déontologie journalistique et en leur faisant vivre le processus journalistique, on peut leur démontrer que des journalistes honnêtes existent. Et que le journalisme, lorsqu'il est exercé avec intégrité, est un pilier de la démocratie. On a choisi hier les sujets sur lesquels ils veulent travailler. Ils ont déjà commencé à se rendre compte qu'être journaliste, c'est du boulot ! 😅 Leur émission devrait beaucoup tourner autour de la place des jeunes dans la société.

Il #solutionsjournalism è il giornalismo in cui credo. Un approccio che si prende cura della narrazione e del pubblico, che guarda alla comunità e sceglie di raccontare l'intera storia. Quella che parla di soluzioni. 10 anni fa, il 26 ottobre 2013, è nato il Solutions Journalism Network grazie all'intuizione di Tina Rosenberg e David Bornstein. Una realtà a cui devo la mia formazione e la mia consapevolezza. Sono profondamente grata al team di giornalisti di tutto il mondo che si prendono cura della professione che amo. Ieri sera, a Milano, abbiamo celebrato il#solutionsjournalismday con giornalisti, docenti e professionisti interessanti a conoscere questo approccio. Una serata di condivisione durante la quale abbiamo chiesto agli ospiti di identificare il giornalismo con una parola. Visione, Servizio, Compassione, Educazione, Verità, Esperienza: queste alcune di quelle emerse. Poi abbiamo chiesto di pensare al titolo di un articolo che vorrebbero leggere nel futuro. Nelle immagini potete leggerli. Andiamo avanti con determinazione verso un futuro dell'informazione che parla di come l'umanità sia capace di dare risposte ai problemi. Facciamolo insieme.#giornalismocostruttivo Constructive Network

Humor is a multifaceted gem of personality. You're not confined to a single humor trait, rather, you're a delightful cocktail of many. Just like a chameleon changes its colors, you too can switch your humor persona depending on the mood and the crowd. It's not rocket science, it's just about being adaptable. The real magic happens when you can transition between these personas with ease. Repost this if your persona changed mid-viewing this video. #PersonalityAdaptation #HumorTraits #PersonaVersatility

"¿Qué es para vos la infancia en la guerra?" La pregunta la hizo Jasminko Halilović a través de un portal en Internet buscando respuestas de personas que habían pasado sus primeros años durante conflictos bélicos. Hoy, gracias al arduo trabajo de un equipo multidisciplinar, existe el War Childhood Museum, un museo que muestra las experiencias de niños durante conflictos armados a través de objetos, cartas o diarios, junto a sus historias. Tuve la oportunidad de conocer historias de niños y niñas como Filip, que coleccionaba latas y envoltorios de ayuda humanitaria que nunca había visto antes y lo hacía porque pensaba que la guerra finalizaría la semana siguiente; como Nadia, quien perdió a su amiga a causa de una explosión mientras jugaba al elástico; o como Emina, que conserva la campera de su primo, quien falleció a causa de la última bomba lanzada en Sarajevo. El museo busca enseñar a los más pequeños la importancia de la paz y su lugar en la construcción de ese proceso. Así como también darles voz a historias que no habían podido ser contadas y que no se miden con números o figuran libros de historia. Luego de un largo trabajo de investigación y traducción, les comparto la nota que escribí para RED/ACCIÓN, donde tuve la posibilidad de entrevistar a Jasminko Halilovic y a Merima Ražanica para conocer el trabajo del museo puertas adentro.

Today is Solutions Journalism Day, a chance for us to celebrate the impact that solutions-based journalism has on society. In a world where many of us feel inundated and overwhelmed with media reports on tragic or bad news, solutions journalism offers light at the end of the tunnel. It sheds light on how change-makers, organisations and communities are mobilising to find solutions to the most pressing social and environmental issues around the globe. At Pioneers Post, we recognise the value of solutions journalism, and we are committed to presenting our audience with information on how global problems are being tackled by social enterprises and mission-led businesses. Click on the link to read one of our latest solutions-based stories, on Saving 9, a social enterprise that teaches life-saving skills in rural areas and created Pakistan's first female-led ambulance. https://buff.ly/46I19Tb#solutionsjournalism #SolutionsJournalismDay #socialenterprises #socent https://lnkd.in/eGXwibZz Solutions Journalism Network | Saving 9 | Hamna Iqbal Baig | Laura Joffre | Sasha Gallick | Natasha Pentin | Aslesha Mehta | Phool.co | Ekpali Saint | Chanja Datti Recycling Co Ltd | Nicolas Stirer | Plant Your Future | Kigüi | Jenny Henman | Hogan Lovells | Yasmin Waljee OBE

Solutions Journalism Network has given me the tools to write a little better, delve a lot deeper and most of all, FEEL much better about the stories I write. For example, as a LEDE 2023 fellow with the network, I spent over six months with Rohingya refugees and realised that although they are the largest and possibly the most neglected refugee community in the world, they are also resilient actors doing a lot of cool stuff that is also helping them to come to terms with, and improve their, existence... And when solutions come from within, they are unstoppable! Here's a story I wrote about them, with a hat tip to the Network, Julia Hotz, my fantastic cohort, Reasons to be Cheerful and all my Rohingya friends on the occasion of #SolutionsJournalismDay!

Ten years ago, Seattle Times reporter Claudia Rowe told readers about a promising new instructional approach at a White Center elementary school where many families struggled financially or didn't speak English.

Earlier this year, Dahlia Bazzaz reported on a disturbing pattern of resegregation in Seattle schools, once a national leader for prioritizing integration.

And in the decade between those stories, The Times wrote about broadening access to gifted education; new ways to teach reading; disproportionate discipline delivered to children of color; steep challenges facing special-education students; and hundreds of other topics - all through an initiative we call Education Lab, a pioneering approach to illuminating both the problems and the promise of public schools.

Today we mark the 10 th anniversary of "Ed Lab" with a piece by Bazzaz and Claire Bryan assessing five significant shifts in Washington education during this time. And we commit to revisiting, in the coming year, some of our biggest stories to assess whether any progress has been made in those areas.

Ever since we launched Education Lab, we've held fast to themes of access, equity and quality. We've focused not only on failures but on potential solutions. And we've invested in new ways of engaging with our audiences to capture their ideas and feedback.

In many ways it feels like our work has just begun.

"We talk about it all the time, but we don't have equity in our schools," Times Publisher Frank Blethen said this week. "It's incumbent on us ... to make sure we provide leadership on these things. And provide the information the community needs to deal with them."

Ed Lab at its inception was groundbreaking.

We devoted a four-person team - an editor, two reporters and an engagement specialist - to dive deeply into complex subjects. We partnered with the nonprofit Solutions Journalism Network, which espoused a new form of storytelling that examined promising approaches to see if they could be replicated. We set aside time and money for travel to see interesting things happening in classrooms elsewhere. And we experimented with new ways of finding and delivering stories, such as in-person storytelling events and "Student Voices" essays.

All of this was made possible by generous financial support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Back in 2013, this community funding was quite rare for our industry, which was already suffering financially.

The Gates Foundation, after initially committing to the project for one to two years, stayed with us for 10 and agreed to two more. And an important note: Funders have no influence over what we do, no special access to reporters, and no ability to read our work before it publishes. Those guardrails have helped preserve our journalistic independence, an early concern of some skeptics.

Little did we know that all of Ed Lab's foundational tenets - the outside support, solutions reporting, engagement efforts, experimentation, and our steadfast independence - would become a model not just for our newsroom but for newsrooms around the country. There are now at least four other Ed Labs inspired by ours, with two more in the works. An Ed Lab "collab" - a collection of eight education reporting teams - meets regularly to compare ideas and co-produce stories that run across the news organizations.

In The Times' newsroom, we now have similar "lab" teams covering transportation, homelessness and mental health. And we have 27 positions funded by generous community supporters.

For education coverage in particular, Ed Lab has had a profound effect, Rowe said. When she had covered education in the 1990s, she said, it was seen as a "soft" beat for inexperienced reporters.

"Now you see coverage all over the country, in outlets everywhere, that seems to exemplify the reality: that education coverage is incredibly complicated and incredibly pivotal for so many other issues."

Going forward, Rowe said, "Getting real about the fallout from COVID is imperative."

Again, it comes back to equity:

"COVID exposed these gaping canyons among different groups of students. Kids that were already struggling are so far behind."

Bazzaz echoed Rowe, saying the team - Bazzaz, Bryan, engagement reporter Jenn Smith and editor Katherine Long - will continue to dig into what became of federal pandemic aid, along with the effects of school closures on generations of students to come.

And we'll continue to return to what she called "the perennial problem of inequity in schools." That mission is imperative, Bazzaz said, especially given that today's students "are much more diverse than at any time in history."

Long, the team's leader, said editors from the education collaborative meet every week or two to discuss important stories such as new methods for teaching math (think artificial intelligence). Next up: a look at access to child care and early learning.

She said beyond that group of eight she occasionally hears from others around the country looking to replicate what Ed Lab has created. Most recently, she heard from an education editor in Scotland. He wondered: Could she share what The Seattle Times has done and learned?

Tipping her hat to the editors and reporters who built Ed Lab a decade ago, Long said it's a good feeling to know the work has had such impact.

"The fact that what we've done has been recognized so far and wide," Long said, "is pretty amazing."

Il #solutionsjournalism è il giornalismo in cui credo. Un approccio che si prende cura della narrazione e del pubblico, che guarda alla comunità e sceglie di raccontare l'intera storia. Quella che parla di soluzioni. 10 anni fa, il 26 ottobre 2013, è nato il Solutions Journalism Network grazie all'intuizione di Tina Rosenberg e David Bornstein. Una realtà a cui devo la mia formazione e la mia consapevolezza. Sono profondamente grata al team di giornalisti di tutto il mondo che si prendono cura della professione che amo. Ieri sera, a Milano, abbiamo celebrato il#solutionsjournalismday con giornalisti, docenti e professionisti interessanti a conoscere questo approccio. Una serata di condivisione durante la quale abbiamo chiesto agli ospiti di identificare il giornalismo con una parola. Visione, Servizio, Compassione, Educazione, Verità, Esperienza: queste alcune di quelle emerse. Poi abbiamo chiesto di pensare al titolo di un articolo che vorrebbero leggere nel futuro. Nelle immagini potete leggerli. Andiamo avanti con determinazione verso un futuro dell'informazione che parla di come l'umanità sia capace di dare risposte ai problemi. Facciamolo insieme.#giornalismocostruttivo Constructive Network

Mainstream media has long been criticized for its role in perpetuating harmful stereotypes and exploiting people of color. While the news media industry claims to be a platform for informing, it often falls short when it comes to fair and accurate reporting of diverse communities.

Moreover, mainstream media tends to disproportionately focus on negative stories involving people of color, further perpetuating a biased narrative. This selective reporting reinforces existing prejudices and unfairly portrays entire communities. By prioritizing sensationalism and profit over responsible journalism, media outlets contribute to the marginalization and oppression of Latinos and other people of color.

Solutions journalism is the alternative to news reporting that focuses on the responses to social issues as much as the problems themselves. It aims to present a more comprehensive perspective on these issues, highlighting not just what is going wrong but also how people are working to fix it.

The Latino News Network is committed to solutions journalism:

Critical reporting and insightful analysis of the responses to societal problems

Providing evidence of the effectiveness of the responses

Gaining insights

Discussing limitations

The goal of solutions journalism is to stimulate constructive public discourse, provoke action towards change, and restore trust and hope in the media.

Putting Solutions Journalism Into Practice

Latino students were more likely than others to cancel or postpone their higher education plans during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study by the University of California, Los Angeles, Latino Policy and Politics Initiative.

In "A Familismo Approach To Latino College Enrollment," IL Latino News applied the principles of solutions journalism in investigating responses to getting Latino students back on track.

Our newsrooms are committed to actively listening and building trust with the diverse communities we serve so we can provide relevant, accurate, nonpartisan, and in-depth coverage year-round that civically informs and motivates underrepresented and underserved residents.

All seven digital news and information outlets under the Latino News Network have taken a collaborative approach to motivate and support communities through solutions-focused reporting rather than problem-focused coverage.

Fostering Collaboration, Sharing Knowledge, and Learning From Different Perspectives

Voting in the United States can often be an inaccessible process preventing eligible voters, particularly in marginalized communities, from casting their ballot. This is especially true for Hispanic Latinos. Many of them are new to the electoral process, either because they just came of age or in the case of foreign-born members of the group - they just became naturalized citizens.

LNN partnered with Be The Ones (a national grassroots organization dedicated to civically informing and engaging residents), in producing statewide voter guides, and examined active or proposed legislation relevant to our audiences.

New Hampshire Latino News' mission in covering elections and democracy is dedicated to building trust with our audience through collaboration, inclusion, and transparency. We will achieve this by:

Before making assumptions about what communities need to know, we commit to genuinely listening to them through surveys and in-person and virtual events in order to provide information that they're missing.

We will partner with trusted organizations, that help us increase accessibility to the public, broaden the reach of our coverage and prevent misinformation.

Our reporting will not just revolve around the candidates or one day (Election Day), but rather voters and year-round with a focus on the work of policymaking process

In an era of fake news, information overload, and sensationalism, solutions journalism serves as a beacon of hope and positivity. It cultivates a more informed and engaged citizenry by providing them with the tools to understand and address societal issues effectively.

Our newsroom is committed to actively listening and building trust with the diverse communities we serve so we can provide relevant, accurate, nonpartisan, and in-depth coverage year-round that civically informs and motivates underrepresented and underserved residents.

Since participating as a cohort in the Solutions Journalism Network led Advancing Democracy fellowship in 2021, I have worked diligently in applying solutions journalism to counteract the negativity bias that can make audiences feel disheartened and disengaged.

I became an accredited solutions journalism trainer in 2022 and shared the knowledge in the free four week self-directed online course, "Solutions Journalism: New ways of elevating your reporting and engaging audiences." I was elated by the overwhelming positive response; more than 2,300 participants in nearly 40 countries. Next year, I will be producing a similar massive open online course (MOOC) in Spanish thanks to the support of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and the Solutions Journalism Network.

Community insight and feedback continually shapes our work because at the Latino News Network, the public is more than just our audience; they are our collaborators.

There is still much room for entrenchment of Solutions Journalism (SoJo) in developing nations loaded with what may seem to be unlimited socio-economic problems including basic human needs.

Journalists in the continent- especially those in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania - where Science Africa is also actively involved on a daily basis with media houses, journalists' associations, individual journalists and university students, are keen on sharpening their SoJo skills.

However, the memory of the official launch of SoJo which was loaded with not very hidden skepticism mostly by those who had never interacted with Science Africa remains vivid. Two journalists made it clear that there was no room for SoJo in their beat and more so when launched in a science conference.

The launch had been scheduled to coincide with the 8 th KEMRI Annual Scientific and Health Conference of 14 th-16 th February 2018 which was also attended by researchers from other continents. It served as a major starting point and an opportunity for journalists who were also undergoing training including assignments to identify, pitch and generate credible SoJo stories.

However, others who seemed only worried about being indulged in public relations quickly noted the difference and the untapped potential to credibly and effectively inform and educate their audience based on the four pillars- People's Response, Evidence and the Effectiveness, Insight and Limitation.

Solutions Journalism has actively changed how journalists and newrooms report news and there is still room for improvement. Some of the journalists who attended the launch of 2018, are now editors, senior writers, heads of professional media associations and are among our top trainers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.

Angela Oketch who was among the pioneer SoJo trainees and now a leading trainer was awarded an international scholarship to Colombia Journalism School in USA with strong recommendations from Science Africa has already completed her masters in investigative journalism.

Additionally, some of the newsrooms trained under the SOJO newsroom program by Science Africa have gone ahead to have key focal persons for SOJO in their newsrooms who help in checking whether the stories meet SOJO threshold. For instance, Steve Nsamaza of Rwanda Dispatch and Jael Namiganda of Metro FM in Uganda.

In practical terms #SolutionsJournalismDay - October 26! is a major success towards sustainability. Already, a number of universities including-Rongo University and Kibabii Universities in Kenya, Makerere University in Uganda and University of Rwanda associated with Science Africa are introducing SoJo in their journalism curriculum.

This election season — and just in time for Solutions Journalism Day — we’ve tried something different: prioritizing the issues top of mind to young voters and examining how local government impacts them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A cyclist rides his bike across East Lewis Street near a newly constructed bike path on the University of Louisiana's Lafayette campus.

How we do elections can be downright destructive to democracy.

The largest voting block during this fall's primary? People who didn't vote. Why would they, if their choice is between hell and high water?

Like democracy, journalism similarly faces a crisis of trust. As a profession, we've been no less responsible for amplifying the divide.

That's why this election season - and just in time for Solutions Journalism Day - we've tried something different: prioritizing the issues top of mind to young voters and examining how local government impacts them.

Solutions journalism is central to that approach. In producing our election guide, we looked for opportunities to examine responses to those paramount issues.

Journalism has a duty to ask questions, and an obvious one raised by reporting on a problem is how we might fix it. Elections offer an ideal platform for that inquiry.

Solutions journalism has been a big part of The Current's digest since we launched in 2018. This year, we hired a health reporter to cover Louisiana's stubbornly bad health outcomes through a solutions lens.

For us, the practice - which applies rigor and skepticism to reporting about responses to common problems - is part and parcel of telling Lafayette's whole story. It's just solid journalism.

This election season, we used our reporting to ask candidates directly about what they would do about these problems. After all, it's what voters want. Action, not words.

Fundamentally, that's what solutions journalism is about. Highlighting solutions holds our leaders accountable to what's possible. And what else are elections about if not what's possible?

SOUTHKHALI, Bangladesh

When Cyclone Bhola hit what is now present-day Bangladesh in 1970, it killed 300,000 to 500,000 people. Among the dead were 52 of Abul Kashem's relatives, swept away by what is still considered the deadliest storm ever recorded.

"I had to start my life from zero," Kashem, now 80, told The New Humanitarian from his home in Dalalkandi, a village on the coast of Bangladesh about 360 kilometres south of the capital, Dhaka.

A lot has changed since Bhola struck in 1970. Bangladesh's population has more than doubled, and global heating has triggered even more frequent extreme events in the country - one of the world's most vulnerable when it comes to weather-driven disasters.

Bangladesh, however, has also drastically reduced its cyclone-related deaths, by more than 100 fold since 1970 - an accomplishment noted in disaster risk reduction circles and backed up by a data-driven investigation by The New Humanitarian.

The six-month investigation, which combined analyses of risk and resilience datasets with on-the-ground reporting, also identified other "positive outliers" - countries with similar disaster risk and economic profiles that have been surprisingly successful at reducing deaths. Among them were Cuba, Indonesia, Mozambique, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

Although worldwide death tolls from climate-related disasters have dropped over the years - partly because of technological advances that include weather satellites and alerts sent to cellphones - Bangladesh provides a case study of good practices, especially for wealthier countries that are increasingly facing new climate risks.

Germany, for example, experienced unusually high rainfall in July - a rare event made up to nine times more likely by climate change, according to a study by the World Weather Attribution initiative, which measures the role of climate change in such events. Slow to warn people about potential floods, Germany's death toll from the flash flooding was at least 180. Record rainfall also caught Canada off guard in November, displacing some 17,000 people and causing widespread damage in British Columbia.

Bangladesh still struggles to minimise damage from storms - a factor that has contributed to an uptick in migration, mostly from coastal areas to cities - but it has reduced deaths by using a multi-layered early warning system, a vast network of cyclone shelters, a large volunteer programme whose force is 50 percent women, and storm-aware curricula that begin early in schools.

Although it's not considered a world leader in disaster risk reduction - countries such as Japan have had notable successes but also have larger economies - Bangladesh still offers a model of good practices for other countries around the world.

For starters, Bangladesh earmarks a larger proportion of its own finances to tackle climate problems than many developing countries.

Since 2010, for example, the Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund (BCCTF) has channelled domestic funds - approximately $450 million as of 2021 - to climate-related projects across the country. According to the country's Climate Budget Report, more than 7 percent of the national budget was allocated to tackling climate change between 2021 and 2022.

By comparison, Indonesia - which also ranked well in The New Humanitarian's analysis of countries successfully reducing cyclone-related deaths - allocated 3.5 percent and 4.9 percent of its government budget to climate change activities in 2016 and 2018, respectively. The Philippines, meanwhile, dedicated 6.2 percent of its national budget to climate change in 2021.

"We used to lose lives by the hundreds of thousands," Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) in Dhaka, told The New Humanitarian in August. "We still have floods and cyclones that cause a lot of damage, but we don't lose lives anymore."

Early warnings

Cyclone Bhola took many by surprise, including Rahela Khatun, who lost her three children.

"We were not warned that Bhola was coming," Khatun, now 72, told The New Humanitarian from Sakuchia, a village 300 kilometres south of Dhaka.

In 1970, Bangladesh had only two coastal radars, which monitored storms situated less than 200 miles from its shores.

The country also relied on satellite images issued by other agencies, such as the US-based National Earth Satellite Center (NESC), but communication delays meant that images reached the country - then called East Pakistan - up to 23 hours after the pictures were taken, as was the case with Bhola.

Bangladesh now collects meteorological data through a network of more than 50 weather stations, balloons, and radars.

As a member of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it also receives information from other national and regional meteorological offices.

Bangladesh's weather agency feeds forecasts to national and local disaster mitigation committees, which send early warnings that involve multiple layers: radio announcements, targeted text messages to people who may be affected, television alerts, announcements broadcast over speakers in mosques, and volunteers going door to door.

Warning signals are also communicated to seaports and updated every 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the level of warning. Warning levels are ranked on a scale of one to 11 - one to four for a precautionary warning, five to seven for danger, and eight to 11 for great danger.

Each level triggers a series of measures and messages for the community, from preparing battery-run radios and torch lights, to evacuating to cyclone shelters.

Bangladesh also uses targeted text messages and pre-recorded disaster alerts, which people can listen to by dialling 1090.

Text messages have sometimes been criticised for arriving late in other countries, such as the Philippines. Part of this has been attributed to how the alert is sent - there are two types of message broadcast systems, short messaging system (SMS) and cell broadcast service (CBS).

CBS sends faster messages to cellphones because it relies on pre-arranged cell sites without the need to register the phones. It also allows for location-specific alerts. But not every mobile phone enables CBS alerts by default, so authorities sometimes use slower SMSs, which can jam communications and generate delays.

Read More → Then and Now: 25 years of disasters, responses, and risk management

To overcome these limitations, countries need to multiply communication channels, according to a WMO checklist of best practices. Bangladesh, for example, has started to use push notifications - short alerts sent to mobile phones via the internet.

Although many countries in Southeast Asia have established early warning systems for storms, up until last year, only 40 percent of the WMO's 193 member states had a multi-hazards early warning system that identifies, monitors, and warns against different types of hazards, such as storms, volcanic eruptions, or floods.

For example, Pakistan's National Disaster Management Agency said it was still relying on outdated and often deficient meteorological and hydrological sensors, which sometimes prevented the country from issuing timely warnings for flash floods in certain regions.

Early warnings have also been impacted by Pakistan's reliance on information shared by India about waterflow in its eastern rivers, which have their sources in India. This information is not always shared, Mahr Khan, chief meteorologist at the Provincial Disaster Management Authority in Punjab, told The New Humanitarian in November.

Female volunteers

Two years after Bhola struck, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society launched a Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP) to ensure people were aware of warnings and could evacuate.

Today, the programme has more than 200 staff and 76,000 volunteers - half of whom are women.

Shahida Begum started volunteering after losing her seven-year-old son Ibrahim during Cyclone Sidr, which killed some 3,500 people in 2007.

"I will never forget that grief," she told The New Humanitarian. "I became a volunteer so that other mothers in the village don't mourn like I did."

Volunteer gender parity - which has been in place since 2020 - has helped increase the safety of shelters for women, but it has also helped with evacuations. Because women are often in charge of taking care of families, they have typically been the last to evacuate, Ahmadul Haque, director of the CPP, told The New Humanitarian in October.

Increasing the number of female volunteers is thought to have helped reduce deaths.

The ratio of cyclone deaths between males and females, for example, decreased from 14:1 in 1970, to 5:1 in 1991. Last year, that ratio was 1:1, according to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief.

"Cyclone early warnings usually go to men in the community, because dissemination is often done in public places and women don't have access to mobile phones at the same level as men do," according to Dilruba Haider, programme specialist with UN Women.

Volunteers use a set of coloured flags: one flag for precaution, two for danger, and three for great danger - as well as megaphones and hand-operated sirens.

Other countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Philippines have similar volunteer programmes, but they tend to be smaller in scale and run by NGOs. Bangladesh is also unusual in that it has a gender-parity policy.

In 2021, the CPP started working on other hazards than cyclones. Now, volunteers are also trained to search urban areas after an earthquake, monitor high tides, or rescue people from drowning.

Multi-purpose shelters

When Bhola struck, in 1970, there were only 44 operational cyclone shelters for a population of roughly 65 million people.

By the time Cyclone Ghorki made landfall in 1991, killing some 140,000 people, the number of shelters had increased to 512 - providing protection to roughly 10 percent of the coastal population.

Now, Bangladesh has more than 14,000 shelters, which allowed for some 2.4 million people to be evacuated in 2020 during Cyclone Amphan - the most powerful storm to form on the Bay of Bengal since 1999, according to a report from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

"We were warned of Cyclone Amphan by volunteers with flags and megaphones. We also heard alarms from the mosque's speakers," said Abdur Rahman Gazi, 48. "My family and I went to the shelter. Despite losing our home, we were able to save our lives."
Precise geographical information on cyclone shelters was not updated after 2009, but shelters have continued to be built. During Cyclone Amphan in 2020, Bangladesh used more than 14.500 temporary and permanent cyclone shelters.
Unlike earlier designs, new shelters are used and maintained throughout the year.

Each building can accommodate between 500 and 2,500 people. The new multi-purpose shelters also have wheelchair access, segregated spaces for men and women, and even areas for farm animals.

"One reason people didn't go to shelter before is that they didn't want to leave their animals behind," said Huq, with ICCCAD.

According to a study comparing storm casualties in the region over 25 years, Bangladesh's shelter programme reduced fatalities by 75 percent between 1990 and 2015.

Other neighbouring countries have been slower to build shelters.

In 2008, one year after Cyclone Sidr, a similar cyclone called Nargis killed more than 140,000 people in neighbouring Myanmar, partly due to a lack of shelters, according to a 2009 Nature study.

Saving lives, not livelihoods

Bangladesh is expected to face more Category 4 and 5 cyclones in the coming years, according to the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

And while the country is managing to reduce deaths, it continues to struggle with internal displacement, economic damage, and loss of livelihood. Cyclone Amphan, for example, caused roughly $14 billion of damage to the region and destroyed more than 176,000 hectares of agricultural land in Bangladesh, according to a WMO report.

"Tens of thousands of people could not go back home [after Amphan]," Huq told The New Humanitarian. "Their houses were destroyed, their crops were salinated with sea water. Many of them have ended up in the slums of Dhaka."

"While we can save their lives, we have not been successful in saving their livelihoods."

Approximately 4.4 million people were displaced in Bangladesh due to disasters in 2020, according to a report from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC).

Storms, floods, and a never-ending circle of destruction and rebuilding efforts are driving people away from coastal villages, while repeated saltwater intrusion is polluting drinking water and undermining agriculture along the coast.

The Environmental Justice Foundation predicts that one in seven Bangladeshis could be displaced by climate change by 2050.

Generational shift

"When I hear the cyclone signal, I know that I have to pack my books and convince my parents to go to the shelter," Suraiya Akhter, a 15-years-old student from Tobgi Secondary School in Bhola district, told The New Humanitarian.

In Bangladesh, students learn about disaster preparedness early in their curriculum.

"Teachers and students have a big role to play in disaster management," said Sanaullah Sanu, a teacher in Kamalnagar Upazila, a region along the south coast. "We help with early warnings and preparedness activities, and we are in charge of managing cyclone shelters - often associated with schools in Bangladesh."

Purnima Sadhu, a 16-year-old student from Tafalbari College in Lakurtala, a village 260 kilometres south of Dhaka, said her generation is acutely aware that cyclones will likely increase due to climate change.

"Our parents did not learn about disasters when they were young, but we do," said Sadhu, "Climate change will bring bigger disasters in the future, but we know we can prepare for them. We are not afraid.

Este enfoque, parte esencial de la propuesta editorial de RED/ACCIÓN, resulta fundamental en tiempos en los que nos abruman las malas noticias.

"Periodismo es publicar lo que alguien no quiere que publiques. Todo lo demás es relaciones públicas". Durante mis años en la profesión me topé varias veces con esta frase, y por mucho tiempo creí que las mejores historias -y las más necesarias- eran aquellas que revelaban transgresiones ocultas y que generaban indignación.

Aún más: consideraba que eran este tipo de historias las que mejor reflejaban las cualidades de un buen periodista: el escepticismo, la luz sobre los abusos del poder y del dinero.

Con esa base, hace cinco años por primera vez escuché hablar sobre "periodismo de soluciones" y la expresión me sonó casi a un oxímoron: estaba muy acostumbrado a entender el periodismo, sobre todo, como una forma de contar los problemas, lo que no funciona.

"El periodismo de soluciones investiga y explica, de manera crítica y lúcida, cómo las personas intentan resolver problemas ampliamente compartidos", define la Solutions Journalism Network (SJN), una red que nuclea a periodistas de todo el mundo para promover este enfoque, y que hoy cumple 10 años (por eso celebra el #SolutionsJournalismDay).

Según la SJN, el periodismo de soluciones "permite contar toda la historia". Esa parte de la historia -de individuos y organizaciones que aportan soluciones efectivas- no tiene por qué ser relaciones públicas ni son meramente "buenas noticias": incluye investigación, rigor para tratar con datos, evidencias de que las iniciativas funcionan y el detalle de los desafíos o fallas a las que se enfrenta. Todos ingredientes forman parte de los contenidos de la sección Soluciones de RED/ACCIÓN.

Como cuenta esta nota, el periodismo de soluciones atrae a los lectores (algo clave en un tiempo en el que muchos evitan las noticias), promueve diálogos constructivos y empodera a las comunidades, promoviendo la participación ciudadana. Por eso también usamos este enfoque en nuestra campaña del mes.

Son varios los problemas que muchas sociedades compartimos y, por ende, es útil conocer qué está dando resultados y podría replicarse en otros contextos. Por eso contamos historias que van desde una aplicación que ayuda detectar incendios a un modelo que para fortalecer emocionalmente a pacientes con cáncer que se replica en 24 hospitales públicos argentinos.

O iniciativas que muestran cómo comunidades locales pueden desarrollarse económicamente, como la primera bodega de América Latina administrada por un pueblo originario. O cómo una asociación civil consiguió más de 500 millones de pesos para pymes y cooperativas con impacto social y ambiental positivo. O de una propuesta que da trabajo a personas con discapacidad y a la vez ayuda a personas mayores a capacitarse en tecnología. O cómo es el sistema que ayuda a simplificar trámites burocráticos ...

Hoy la mayor parte de mi tarea como periodista está abocada a encontrar, escribir y editar este tipo de notas. Y me sorprende que, así como a veces nos abruma la cantidad de malas noticias, es enorme el número de iniciativas que las personas y organizaciones llevan adelante para resolverlas. Ninguna es una solución perfecta. Pero vale la pena contarlas. Eso también es periodismo. Hoy, más necesario que nunca.

Many reporters in this region, as elsewhere, find SoJo gets them back to why they became journalists in the first place: to make an impact.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the beginning, journalists wanted to write about what works, but were afraid to try it, lest it come out like advocacy, cheerleading, or PR. Note from Jeremy Druker, Transitions executive director:

Today is a big day for solutions journalism, more precisely the Solutions Journalism Network, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. In the span of a mere decade, SJN has done a remarkable job of spreading the notion throughout the world that we need to do a much better job of reporting on what's working and not settle for regurgitating the same problem-based stories over and over again.

For Transitions the big day was 4 May 2017 (yes, I dug up the old email) when David Bornstein, a New York Times columnist and SJN co-founder, arrived in Prague and led a workshop on "the ins and outs of solutions journalism," exploring "why it's important and how to do it."

It's notoriously tough to get Czech journalists to show up for workshops, so our staff filled probably half the seats. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I was immediately hooked. It just made so much sense, and David's words about the harmful effect on the psyche of perpetually focusing on the many ills of society resonated.

Though we had occasionally practiced something resembling solutions journalism, it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the desperation (and depression) of covering everything going wrong in Central and Eastern Europe since the '90s.

From that day, we vowed to do things differently, even if it took us some time to develop and then launch a fully-fledged SoJo program, regularly publishing solutions journalism and then training others in Central and Eastern Europe how to do it. The response has been overwhelming: many reporters in this region, as elsewhere, find SoJo gets them back to why they became journalists in the first place: to make an impact, this time through shining a light on effective responses, success stories that show the creativity and innovation at work in their countries - stories that too often lie hidden beneath an avalanche of negative news.

And now, let me introduce Tina Rosenberg, the Pulitzer-prize winning SJN co-founder, describing the origins of solutions journalism and proclaiming Solutions Journalism Day. Tina was my professor many years ago, back when SoJo was perhaps just a twinkle in her eye (you will get the child reference in a moment).

We are so very grateful to SJN for all their support over the years.

Jeremy

I have four children. Three of them are actual human (most of the time, anyway) daughters. If you're reading this, you know my fourth child.

And I have two husbands. My real one and my work one, whose name you also probably know: David Bornstein.

David's and my work child turns 10 this week, so on 26 October, we are asking newsrooms and journalists we've worked with - past and present - to publish a solutions story, or look back on an earlier story or series and explore its impact.

We've also asked them to write a bit about why they do solutions journalism, with the hashtag #SolutionsJournalismDay.

SJN grew out of the Fixes column in The New York Times. Fixes was solutions journalism. That's it. David, I, and many thoughtful guest writers looked at what works to solve social problems, ranging from universal health insurance in Rwanda to effective mentoring in Baltimore.

David argued from the beginning that we shouldn't keep this kind of reporting to ourselves. Journalists wanted to write about what works, but were afraid to try it, lest it come out like advocacy, cheerleading, picking winners, fluff, or public relations. David thought it would be good for journalism and society to show how to do strong, compelling reporting on responses to problems.

We didn't invent solutions journalism. Lots of people have done it (and do it today) without putting a label on it and without us. But SJN has tried to create a system to practice it and teach it and, most important, a network to share it with.

Journalism is going through both economic and existential crises, and that network has blossomed.

Nigeria, Ukraine, and El Salvador have publications dedicated to solutions reporting. Solutions stories are everyday fare at the BBC, The New York Times, and many other leading newsrooms. Journalism training organizations teach or have taught solutions reporting in Abuja, Nairobi, Prague, Toronto, Bonn, Amsterdam, Bogota, and soon, Sydney, Kyiv, and Ulaanbaatar. SJN's Solutions Story Tracker has collected more than 15,000 published pieces - and that's only a tiny fraction of what's out there.

Journalists around the world are inspired to transform their profession, but not just their profession. They want to repair toxic narratives; to provide a fuller, truer picture of society and its challenges, one that empowers people instead of depressing them; to earn the trust of their communities. They are eager to transform their world - through journalism.

Our role, then, has shifted to supporting this network, giving these journalists the skills to lead and train others. We can provide story examples, case studies, and training materials. We can help knit them into a community. But these passionate entrepreneurs are the ones who go teach and spread and innovate.

Any journalist or newsroom can join in this look at the progress of the last 10 years on #SolutionsJournalismDay, sharing what or who has been most valuable to you in the practice. More importantly, any journalist or newsroom can join us going forward. Let us help you transform the world through journalism.

Sacramento Bee journalists are committed to in-depth coverage of the thorny issues that plague our community.

This commitment includes investigating both problems and solutions. In celebration of Solutions Journalism Day, we submit to you a review of our work in the realm of rigorous reporting on responses to social problems.

What is this day all about? The Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit that supports journalists in response-focused reporting, organized this day to recognize the 10-year anniversary of the founding of this movement. The focus of this effort is to create journalism that tells the whole story through evidenced-based, equitable reporting. The goal is to empower you and your neighbors with information that is constructive and aimed at building a better future.

Over the past year, The Bee journalists have consistently offered you solutions-focused stories. Some of these stories have been tied to our project on local efforts to combat climate change. However, solutions stories have been written by journalists in all corners of our news organization. Here is a look at some of that work:

▪ Maya Miller, then-economic mobility reporter, wrote about a mother who was regaining her footing after tragedy with the support of a basic income program.

▪ Miller also wrote about an after-school program based in an affordable housing complex where the participants have a nearly 100% high school graduation rate.

▪ Samson Zhang, an intern with The Bee's Equity Lab, wrote about why we're seeing goat grazing more often in Northern California cities and what unique benefits and limitations this response has.

▪ Tom Philp, opinion writer, reported on Portland, Oregon's process for establishing safe sites to house people and opined about what their approach could mean for Sacramento's leaders.

▪ Ryan Lillis, real estate and development reporter, wrote about why a historic Sacramento corridor is a model for solving the region's housing crisis and curbing its carbon emissions.

▪ Mathew Miranda, Latino communities reporter, wrote about what efforts are underway to support gardeners as California transitions to a ban on gas leaf blowers.

The Bee's work in solutions journalism is ongoing and evolving. We are currently taking solutions work one step further by offering grants to support local climate solutions. (Our deadline is Nov. 20, so get to work on applications.)

If you like what we are doing and want to support our work, please consider becoming a subscriber. And if you already subscribe to The Sacramento Bee, thank you.

Growing up in Germantown, Alexis Smith-Williams heard a constant refrain from her mother and grandmothers: Buy your own house. "That was something they always talked to me about, Alexis, buy yourself a house," Smith-Williams recalls. "Since the time I was grown, it was always, Buy yourself a house. "

Their advice was sage. In 2020, when Smith-Williams began her home search, the average U.S. homeowner had a net worth of $255,000, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances. Renters had an average net worth of only $6,300. In other words, homeowners are literally 40 times wealthier.

But for Smith-Williams, who'd rented for decades, the process of buying a house for herself and her adult daughter was anything but smooth. There was a lot of paperwork involved in applying for a mortgage, and she needed to build up her credit score. Even if she got through all of that, she knew she might not be able to find a nice, turnkey home in her budget. "They just wanted too much from me," Smith-Williams says.

In a city with a 21.7 percent poverty rate, rising gentrification and a massive housing crisis, they're helping working families stay in their neighborhoods and build wealth in the process.

She was thinking about giving up when a woman at the North Central Community Center gave her a business card for Philly Workforce Homes. The local company designs and builds homes specifically for Philadelphians who earn between 60 and 120 percent of the area median income - and helps them through the entire process. Smith-Williams applied through their website, and, in May 2022, closed on her new home in Philly Workforce Homes Diamond Village development near Temple University.

Since its launch, Philly Workforce Homes has built 53 homes across two different development projects, one in West Poplar and one in Diamond Village. They're currently constructing 73 more units and have another 120 in the pipeline. Next month, they plan to open applications for homebuyers to purchase another set of their homes. In a city with a 21.7 percent poverty rate, rising gentrification and a massive housing crisis, they're helping working families stay in their neighborhoods and build wealth in the process.

A passion for affordable housing

Max and Zachary Frankel launched Philly Workforce Homes in 2017 as a branch of their family's four-generation development company, Frankel Enterprises. The brothers come from somewhat of a real estate dynasty: Their great-grandfather launched the company in Philadelphia the 1930s. It has since expanded to Ohio, South Florida and around the tri-state area.

All this to say, the Frankels grew up knowing they'd go into real estate. Zachary earned a masters in real estate development from Columbia University and spent years working on affordable housing projects in New York City. Max, too, worked in affordable housing, financing projects in New York before moving onto luxury development for the family's Florida offices.

By all accounts, the two were forging successful careers as developers. Yet, they both missed Philly. They were born and raised in Center City. They grew up rooting for the Eagles. Once, on a visit home, Zachary ordered a PBR from Silk City and when the bartender charged him just $3, he said to his wife, " I have to move back to Philadelphia."

And the siblings thought they could do good in the city, too. They had been looking at area median incomes (AMI) for a one-, three-, five- and ten-mile radius from Center City and saw a huge gap between Philly and wealthier suburbs like the Main Line and Cherry Hill. In 2021, Cherry Hill's AMI was $107,341. Philly's was $52,649. In order to afford a median-priced home in the city - $275,000 - you'd have to earn at least $75,000.

But in Philly and nationwide, more and more homes are being listed in the top of the market, pushing that median price higher. The National Association of Realtors found that less than a quarter of sellers nationwide priced their homes for less than $256,000. Even if more Philadelphians could afford a $275,000 home, there might not be enough for sale. Why couldn't the Frankels use their experience working in affordable housing in New York City to build some more median-priced homes in Philly?

"If we aren't going to help to fix some of the housing prices here in Philadelphia, who's going to?" Max says. "We obviously enjoy real estate development as a profession and know that we can both do good and make a living."

So in 2017, when the Land Bank put out a request for proposals for a plot of vacant land in West Poplar, the brothers saw their opportunity.

Turning vacant land into homes for everyday Philadelphians

By the end of 2019, Zachary and Max had built 23 $229,000 homes on the plot in West Poplar. How they did - and do - it, they say, is simple. The Frankels respond to RFPs for vacant land put out by city agencies, like the Land Bank and the Philadelphia Housing Authority. Once a project is approved, they work with banks, like Mid Penn, or investors, like the Reinvestment Fund, on financing. Next, they build, sell them for a small profit, and watch a neighborhood thrive.

"Anytime that you can give a working Philadelphian a property that they can call their own, that they can take care of that's not a rental property, there seems to be a lot more care and love and ownership that's taken, especially in a new construction home," Max says. "A lot of the people that we have sold homes to never thought that they would be able to afford a home in their life. This is a dream that they thought was unfeasible based off of a ton of different economic factors."

For their latest projects, the Frankels are working with the Philadelphia Housing Authority on two different communities in Sharswood: Girard Commons and Bucknell Square. Bucknell Square is made up of single-family, three-bedrooms with backyards, roof decks and parking. Girard Commons is a mix of single-family homes and condos. Prices start at $250,000 and go up to $300,000. The homes will be available starting next month.

To apply, prospective homeowners must work with a lender to get pre-approval for a mortgage (Philly Workforce Homes can recommend a lender if need be). Buyers then submit proof of income and employment and complete a brief online application. Approved buyers are connected with a credit counselor who helps them through the homebuying process. Philly Workforce Homes also helps direct buyers to city grants and subsidies that can help first-time homebuyers, including the Turn the Key initiative, which offers up to $75,000 in assistance.

"Conceivably, you could apply Turn the Key funds to a $250,000 unit and automatically bring it down to $175,000. It's really exciting," Zachary says."We've seen it change the lives of many, many Philadelphians."

Philly Workforce connected Smith-Williams with the credit counselor who helped her commit to the process of buying a home: "She stuck with me and she stayed with me. She helped me every step of the way and I really appreciated her for that," Smith-Williams says.

Workforce housing for every Philadelphian

The Frankels aren't the only developers working with city agencies to build affordable and workforce housing on vacant lots. Mohamed "Mo" Rushdy of the Riverwards Group, chairs the board of directors for the Philadelphia Accelerator Fund, which plans to finance the development of 6,000 affordable housing units over the next few years.

But the Frankels are committed to leading the way, both with Philly Workforce Homes and as chairs of the Building Industry Association of Philadelphia 's affordable housing committee. Zachary hopes to one day extend Philly Workforce Homes' business into building reasonably priced rentals and eventually to expand the model beyond Philadelphia.

Zachary refers to the work he's doing as "a societal imperative." "As Philadelphia grows into the city that we know that it can be, it is absolutely essential that we provide housing for people of all income levels, not just new housing for the top of the market," he says.

The Frankels declined to share revenue figures for Philly Workforce Homes. But they did note that, as with any workforce housing project, profits are small. They're not in this work for the money. They do well enough through their market-rate developments at Frankel Enterprises. Philly Workforce Homes is meant to make the city a better place to live, for more people.

The mission comes back to their Jewish faith and the concept of tikkun olam, the idea that the world is shattered and people need to take action to heal it. The brothers remember working with one woman who had grown up renting in the Norris Homes housing project, which the Philadelphia Housing Authority demolished in 2018. Philly Workforce Homes were one of several developers to build new housing there - and sold one to the former renter..

"Now she's a homeowner back in her neighborhood with her family in a beautiful new home. That is the dream scenario for us," Zachary says.

"It's our obligation as human beings to repair. It's ingrained in who we are and when we can use our talents ... in order to accomplish that mission, that's what we are obligated to do."

Solutions journalism is a core approach for how The Journal covers civic issues and leadership.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Solutions journalism is a core approach for how The Journal covers civic issues and leadership. Today, we celebrate Solutions Journalism Day, which marks the 10th birthday.

For years, The Journal has dabbled in solutions journalism, which provides the same rigorous reporting, the kind most often devoted to problems, on solutions instead. The focus is on looking at "who's doing it better and how."

The anchor for solutions-centric coverage is the Solutions Journalism Network, based in New York City, which has worked with more than 500 news organizations and 20,000 journalists throughout the world on integrating the approach.

Our embrace of solutions journalism reached a new level when we joined the Wichita Journalism Collaborative in 2020, a coalition of media and community groups that received funding from SJN and the Wichita Foundation.

These days, almost every contributor who writes for The Journal has been trained in solutions journalism, which uses a four-pillar structure that asks reporters to investigate a response to a social problem, sort through the evidence of how that solution is working, identify and outline limitations and share insights that help make the story relevant to others.

The Solutions Journalism Network emerged from the "Fixes" column being written by David Bornstein and Tina Rosenberg in The New York Times, which started in 2010. The pair joined Courtney Martin to found SJN in February 2013. The network has helped solutions journalism reach a scale far beyond what public journalism was able to achieve. The organization's story tracker database includes more than 15,000 stories.

Since 2021, The Journal has placed at least a dozen stories in that database on topics ranging from mental health to vaccinations to civic engagement . Last year, I wrote about why The Journal has embraced solutions journalism and how I see it connected to important journalism reform movements that have emerged from Kansas.

Today, I want to share a handful of our most significant solutions stories so that you can be reminded of the range and impact of this type of coverage.

With help, Afghan refugees make a home in Manhattan, Kansas

Published this past spring, the story by reporter AJ Dome looks at how Manhattan residents have worked across factions to welcome Afghans displaced by the Taliban's takeover of their country.

Sparked by a collaboration between two veterans, the Manhattan Afghan Resettlement Team brought together civic, religious and nonprofit leaders around a common purpose - assisting refugees seeking resettlement by keeping a promise made through unique bonds forged in war. But addressing long-term challenges, including finding permanent housing for refugees, will require continued collaboration.

Inside the Kansas workplace that aims for everyone to lead

Nearly five years ago, a community mental health center in southeast Kansas explored offering employees leadership training as a way of preparing for an era of change. Little did they know, they'd soon be facing a triple whammy of daunting challenges.

All indications are that Four County Mental Health Center has come out stronger, even if the process of becoming a place where everyone leads remains a work in progress.

Can English and Spanish speakers thrive in the same city?

With a profound shift in the demographic makeup of Kansas underway, more and more communities are wrestling with the challenge of bridging ethnic and linguistic differences.

This story, by reporter Joel Mathis, looks at Emporia, where a small group of residents is working to make the community more cohesive. Their approach is to welcome to Spanish-speakers and immigrants by practicing Spanish together, learning the language one phrase at a time, in some cases. But as some members of the community say "¡Si, como no!" - "Yes, of course!" - to a bilingual community, questions remain about what's necessary to truly bring people together.

When police put use-of-force decisions under a microscope

This story was published this past April as part of our collaboration with the Wichita Journalism Collaborative. It was written by Angela K. Evans, a Denver-based freelance journalist.

The article looks at an effort in Northern Colorado to use a team of investigators from different agencies to investigate uses of force by police. The reporting shows that such teams can bring more transparency and objectivity to the process. But some question whether such investigations truly hold police accountable and increase trust.

The story also looks at the similarities and differences between how 8th Judicial District's Critical Incident Response Team investigates and how Sedgwick County officials investigated the death of Cedric "C.J." Lofton, who died in Sedgwick County's juvenile detention center in 2021.

What Wichita can learn from a Michigan city's path to seamless mental health care

Another story The Journal worked on in conjunction with the Wichita Journalism Collaborative earlier this year looks at how Grand Rapids, Michigan, similar in size and demographics to Wichita, is creating a "continuum of care" for behavioral health services.

Sedgwick County looks to San Antonio for mental health solutions

Reported in partnership with KSN-TV for the Wichita Journalism Collaborative, this story investigates what Wichita and Sedgwick County can learn from the San Antonio model for reducing the homeless and jail populations. A key feature of the community's approach is a one-stop shop for services, which is being considered in Wichita.

This summer, EarthBeat participated in a journalism collaboration among faith-based publications who wanted to focus on climate stories. The result was the " Growing a Green Church" series, focused on churches' efforts to steward their property (buildings and land) effectively in the context of a changing climate.

With support from the Solutions Journalism Network and funding from the Fetzer Institute, the collaborative focused on initiatives to care for our common home that are already in action, and aimed to find out if they're achieving their goals, what challenges they have faced along the way, and how others might be able to scale or replicate their success.

For Solutions Journalism Day - the 10th anniversary of Solutions Journalism Network, celebrated on Oct. 26 - we're revisiting EarthBeat's most popular story from the "Growing a Green Church" series with a brand new video including interviews and footage of the Laudato Trees program in Washington, D.C.

As NCR environment correspondent Brian Roewe reported in the original coverage: "Laudato Trees - a play on the name of Pope Francis' 2015 encyclical " Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home" - has sought out Catholic locations to plant American beeches and chestnut oaks alongside other native and well-adapted species, seeing potential in the church's expansive property footprint in the nation's capital."

Editor's Note: Thursday, Oct. 26, is Solutions Journalism Day, marking the 10th anniversary of the Solutions Journalism Network, a national nonprofit The Sentinel has worked with since 2019. Solutions journalism focuses on responses to pressing social problems, rather than reporting exclusively on the problems themselves, and presents evidence and insights on these responses, while also exploring their limitations. To honor SJN's decade of supporting the craft of solutions journalism, we are republishing portions of this story from July about efforts to bring younger practitioners to New Hampshire's aging health care workforce. To learn more about solutions journalism, visit solutionsjournalism.org.

New Hampshire's health care workforce is aging.
Funding for the Monadnock Region Health Reporting Lab comes from several sources, including The Sentinel and several local businesses and private donors. We continue to seek additional support. The newsroom maintains full editorial control over all content produced by the lab.

At Next City, we shine a light on the ways that people and organizations are working to address the problems that oppress people in cities. Our mission is to publish solutions stories that illuminate their work - and offer insights into what's working to build more just cities. Since Next City's founding 20 years ago, our editors and reporters have embraced solutions journalism as a core part of our work. Our readers rely on these solutions to help address their own communities' crises, from homelessness to food insecurity to lack of access to capital. In our 2020 reader survey, 75% of respondents shared that the stories they read on our site inform the work they do - whether they work in city planning, finance, architecture, media, academia, transportation, the arts or any other sector that must collaborate to make cities run more equitably. #SolutionsJournalismDay
Freddie Tucker joined the army because he needed a job. He ended up making friends and seeing the world.

He finished his service in 1983. Many years later, he faced hardship and stayed in a homeless shelter in Detroit, a harrowing period. After work, he would sit in his car until evening came.

Tucker was determined to find a more comfortable way to live. Thanks to a mental health counselor, her learned about a recently renovated 60-unit apartment building for military veterans like himself.

These days, his life is on the upswing. In August 2022, he was the first veteran to move into the building located in Highland Park, Michigan, a small city within the borders of Detroit. This shift gave the army veteran a reason to smile.

"From where I was till now, it's like night and day because this is an opportunity that I chose to be in," Tucker says in an online video. "It's just everything I need."

The building, operated by nonprofit Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, gives veterans like Tucker a much needed permanent housing option while stripping away some long-standing rental barriers, such as bad credit or a record of evictions, depending on their circumstances. These barriers often hinder veterans going through a rough phase from securing an apartment.

On top of that, as more veterans like Tucker move into the complex, the city is a step closer to achieving a key goal in the fight to curb veteran homelessness.

Detroit is one of more than 100 communities in the United States that's joined "Built for Zero," a national campaign led by the nonprofit organization Community Solutions that's supporting efforts to achieve what's called " functional zero" through a data-driven methodology. Each community has a functional zero threshold, or the average number of people exiting homelessness each month. Reaching functional zero for a population means keeping the number of people experiencing homelessness below that threshold, so the number of people who are experiencing homelessness at any time does not exceed a community's record of securing housing for at least that many people in a month, per the campaign. Detroit is hoping to reach functional zero for veterans experiencing homelessness.

reveals more military veterans are among the homeless population compared to non-veterans. In Michigan, veterans of color are also overrepresented in the overall veteran homeless population, and the state is seeing an uptick in homelessness among older service members. At the Highland Park property, tenants range in age and gender.

A lack of low-cost housing in the downtown area creates challenges for some veterans searching for a place to live, reinforcing the necessity of permanent options with minimal barriers. Once they are housed, veterans gain more stability and security, and get on a path to improve their health and well-being, so they can focus their attention on other parts of their lives, like employment or education.

Already, the collaboration and coordination among nonprofit organizations, government agencies, service providers, and more in Detroit has borne positive results.

"We've had a significant reduction in veterans [experiencing homelessness] over the past few years," says Jennifer Tuzinsky, a social worker and the Health Care for Homeless Veterans coordinated entry specialist within the Detroit VA Medical Center's homeless programs department.

The department aims to end homelessness among veterans by connecting them to medical and mental healthcare, support services and permanent housing programs. Tuzinsky serves as a liaison for Detroit's VA homeless programs and the community while also helping oversee the functional zero effort.

The number of veterans experiencing homelessness in Detroit dropped from 348 in 2017 to 119 as of September, representing about a 70% decline, according to an analysis by Community Solutions. That data comes from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which collects client-level data and data on providing housing and services to people at risk of and experiencing homelessness, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As part of Built for Zero, communities incorporate this data into what's known as by-name lists.

A by-name list includes information about each person in a community experiencing homelessness, such as health and housing needs, collected in real-time and with their consent. Providers in Detroit working with veterans are trained to input this information into the HMIS. Data consolidation from the HMIS and other local partners combined with outreach to people who may be disconnected from supportive services, has helped communities identify people experiencing homelessness and support them along their path to finding stable housing. Using this approach creates a more comprehensive picture of the homelessness crisis in a community, helping providers connect people to resources more quickly and efficiently, according to a Community Solutions spokesperson.

As those numbers began to drop, Tuzinsky and others noticed that there was a surplus of transitional housing beds, more than was needed. The Highland Park property was converted from transitional housing to permanent housing, providing a low-cost, low-barrier option for veterans while helping fill a critical housing gap.

That conversion was funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Grant and Per Diem (GPD) program, which provides funding for community agencies assisting veterans experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the Rocket Community Fund and the Home Depot Foundation gave donations to pay for the renovation of the units, which have kitchenettes, as well as updated common areas.

In 2018, key stakeholders working to address veteran homelessness in the area began discussions about repurposing the Highland Park property. Eventually, a memorandum of understanding outlined the partnership between Community Solutions and Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries. Design and construction on the building was underway in 2020. Two years later, Tucker moved into his apartment. That collaboration and coordination was crucial in making the permanent housing option a reality and reducing the number of veterans experiencing homelessness in the city.

"I think we built a community where we trust one another and we openly communicate," Tuzinsky says. "That does not always happen. It takes a lot of work."

"We have those conversations and we talk about what was working and what was not working," Tuzinsky adds.

Other boons for tenants at the Highland Park property: veterans may apply to a shorter-term housing assistance program or a longer-term voucher program if they're struggling financially. The complex accepts both types of assistance to help pay for rent, Tuzinsky says. Right now, rents for studio apartments range from $639 to $670 a month.

"We can leverage different funding sources or supports for the veterans really depending on what their needs are, if it's financial case management, if it's connection to other resources for employment," says Diandra Gourlay, the vice president of social services for Volunteers of America Michigan, a nonprofit organization that provides shelter, food and other services for veterans, affordable housing for older adults, and support services for families in need. At the organization, Gourlay oversees veterans programs.

"Our goal is to get them into housing and get them settled," Gourlay says. "And work with them to graduate to living independently without financial assistance."

The Highland Park apartment building is an example of providing a permanent housing option veterans need and want to live in, which involved considerable outreach and feedback from the veteran community. More work needs to be done, Tuzinsky says, to prevent veterans from interacting with the homeless response system in the first place.

A group of community partners and VA staffers are currently working on a recidivism project that will supply deeper insights and develop better supports for veterans who interact with the system multiple times. Making sure veterans have access to information and resources before they become homeless is another route to prevention.

"If a veteran gets behind on rent, the sooner they reach out to us the better chance we have of helping them remain in their housing," Tuzinsky says. "Sometime[s] by the time they connect with services, it's too late. We want to connect with them before it reaches that point."

Right now, there's momentum, and ongoing collaboration is key to keeping veterans off the streets for good.

"It's really a whole community effort to just work through and overcome the challenges that we as a system may have created in the past," Tuzinsky says. "Because we know homelessness is traumatic."
