Have you seen a great Solutions Journalism story lately?Tweet us! @soljourno View this email in your browser Now Open: Our Fund for Climate Change Reporting! At the Solutions Journalism Network, we're working to change the way journalism is done, catalyzing rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems.  One big way we're doing that is to directly support the work of journalists who want to pursue great solutions stories.  So, we're excited to announce the launch of our first SJN Story Fund -- for reporting on climate change. The fund, presented in partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation, opens today.  Until May 20, we'll accept applications for support of reporting projects focused on scientific, technological, commercial, or policy responses to environmental, economic, and social challenges posed by the long-term warming of the Earth.  Specifically, we're interested in strategies to build resilience of countries, cities, and communities in the face of our changing climate.  For projects we select, we'll pay up to $5,000 in expenses.  Journalists selected for awards will receive an orientation in solutions journalism and will benefit from ongoing mentorship from leading journalists and access to story-sourcing tools.  They also will get assistance, as needed, placing and publicizing their work through our network, website, and partnerships.   You can apply to the SJN Story Fund for Climate Change Reporting here. Learn more about our story funds here. From the SolJourno blog... "The whole story: missed opportunity in coverage of Majora Carter" Systemic analysis, not individual take downs, are what teach us the most about social change. [Read more...]  "Saturday Night Live gets to the heart of why we need Solutions Journalism"   Facebook Twitter Email YouTube Copyright © 2013 Solutions Journalism Network, All rights reserved.
