Constructive Journalism: Precedents, Principles, and Practices

While journalists, editors, and media owners all over the world have started experimenting with new, constructive approaches to journalism too little actual research has been made, so far. This have left room for free interpretation, many subsequent misunderstandings and now even supporters are debating among themselves. Researchers - and as such journalists and editors - therefore still grapple with questions relating to the actual principles, precedents, and practices of constructive journalism, including the effects of constructive journalism. This monography will help answer these questions by becoming the central research-based publication when it comes to understanding the guiding principles and practices for a journalism that aims to do more than simply inform about problems.

This book will collect all knowledge - review all the most important experiments and research projects from around the world - and based on this work about the potentials as well as the problems with this development within journalism, the monograph will introduce new vantage points and adjacent concepts for what it means to work constructively.
