ABSTRACT

In many African countries where people are brutally divided along ethnic, political and religious lines, a polarised media is likely to worsen the status quo. In this reflective essay, we explore what solutions journalism is and make a case for its application in journalism practice. We argue that the application of the six approaches to reporting on issues that polarise society has the potential to offer relevant solutions to societal problems, erode polarisation in the media and make journalism more relevant to society.

解决方案新闻作为消除媒体和社会两极分化的工具

摘要

在许多非洲国家，人们在种族、政治和宗教方面遭到残酷划分，两极分化的媒体可能会使现状恶化。在这篇反思性文章中，我们探讨了新闻业的解决方案是什么，并为其在新闻业实践中的应用提供了一个案例。我们认为，应用六种方法来报道社会两极分化的问题有可能为社会问题提供相关解决方案，削弱媒体的两极分化并使新闻与社会更相关。
