Accredited · Solutions Journalism Network
Solutions journalism
How to report rigorously on how people respond to problems, not only on the problems themselves: what's being tried, what evidence there is that it works, and its limits.
Training
Workshops for people who want to report with care
I train journalists, students and the organisations that work with them to see the people they overlook, and to report on them fairly, accurately and safely.
My workshops are practical. People work on real stories, their own when possible, and leave with tools they can use straight away.

What I teach
Each workshop is adapted to the group: their experience, their beat and the stories they're working on.

05 / Questions
Questions you might have
Which languages do you train in?
English, French and Spanish.
In person or online?
Both. I'm often on the move, so get in touch to see if I'm passing through your city soon, and if I'm not, maybe we can make it happen.
What are your fees?
They depend on the format, the length and any travel. I adapt for non-profits, community organisations and small teams, so please don't let budget stop you from asking.
Can you combine topics?
Yes. Many of these work well together, for example solutions journalism with constructive conflict reporting. Tell me what you have in mind.
06 / Plan a training
Let's plan a training
Tell me about your team and what you'd like them to leave with. Even if it's early days, I'm happy to think it through with you.

- 01 · Who'll attend, and their experience
- 02 · Roughly how many people
- 03 · What you'd like them to leave with
- 04 · Dates, place or online
- 05 · Language: EN, FR or ES
I'm often on the road, so it might take me a little while to get back to you, but I'll read your message and answer as soon as I can
