The toolkit walks users through the practice of solutions journalism, from the first step — identifying a response worth investigating — to the last — engaging readers in your piece once it is published. The structures of a few solutions journalism stories are distilled, to aid you in times of writer’s block. You will also see “sidebars” throughout the toolkit, which answer some of the most common doubts journalists have about this practice – like how to write about failure in a solutions-oriented way. But you need not read this document from start to finish like a traditional book. You can pick the sections that are most useful to you.
