In recent years, many journalists and editors around the world have 
started experimenting with constructive journalism, and at the same time 
researchers have shown an increasing interest in the topic. Constructive 
journalism as a research field is rapidly expanding and it has resulted 
in conferences, seminars, and special issues in flagship journals within 
journalism studies. At this pre-conference – hosted at one of the major 
sites for the development of constructive journalism, namely the 
Constructive Institute – we want to explore new avenues for constructive 
journalism as a research field by bringing together researchers and 
practitioners to exchange ideas and discuss the potential of and 
challenges for constructive journalism.

In the first part of the day researchers will present and discuss their 
work in progress. The presentations will provide a status on the state 
of current and coming research and will serve as a starting point for 
discussing future avenues for research on constructive journalism.

The second part of the day will start with a presentation of the 
development of constructive journalism in different newsrooms around the 
world, to provide insights on the challenges and the potential 
experienced in the newsrooms working with constructive journalism. Among 
the presenters will be Ulrik Haagerup, CEO and founder, Constructive 
Institute, as well as editors and journalists from newsrooms working 
with constructive journalism.

After the presentation, we will discuss how researchers and 
practitioners can work closer together in the future to develop the 
field from both sides.

We invite all researchers with an interest in the field two apply for 
the pre-conference. But due to the venue there is only room for a 
limited number of researchers, and preference will be given to those, 
who have submitted an extended abstract on a study within the research 
field (max. 500 words). Deadline for scholars who would like a seat at 
the table at the Constructive Institute is the 1^st of June 2022, and 
abstracts should be sent to (journalism /at/ journalism.sdu.dk) 
<mailto:(journalism /at/ journalism.sdu.dk)>. Notice of acceptance will be 
given by the 15^th of June. Lunch and various refreshments will be 
served during the day.
