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.
