New Book: Constructive Journalism - Precedents, Principles, and Practices

“Constructive Journalism: Precedents, Principles, and Practices” by 
Peter Bro has just been published (Routledge, July 26, 2023), and it 
deals with one of the most pertinent and debated issues among 
journalistic practitioners and researchers.

This book offers a deep and comprehensive overview of constructive 
journalism (and associated concepts such as solutions journalism), 
setting out the guiding principles and practices for a journalism that 
aims to do more than simply inform about problems.

In this authoritative yet concise volume, Peter Bro asks what does 
constructive journalism mean, what are the underlying principles, how is 
it practiced, and in what ways does it differ from other types of 
journalism?

Drawing on studies of the rapidly growing number of works by both 
journalism practitioners and researchers, the book reaches beyond these 
questions to show how the notion of being constructive has been a part 
of journalism from the very beginning of the profession.

This introduction to what constructive journalism is and was and what it 
can accomplish will guide new journalists; journalism, media, and mass 
communication students; and scholars working on journalistic theory and 
practice.
