Generative AI is now embedded in the workflows of major newsrooms, while data centers consume roughly 1.5% of world electricity. How should journalists approach it? Join us May 21 for a training with Yumi Wilson and @soljourno.bsky.social ow.ly/B1FP50YUAXj

A gray and orange graphic with a photo of presenter Yumi Wilson and an image of Earth in the background of text that reads: Covering the Planet with the Tools That Tax It: AI for Climate, Science and Environmental Journalists. In this one-hour session, veteran journalist and San Francisco State University Professor Yumi Wilson covers AI as solutions journalism does, by examining what AI actually does in newsrooms (response), what the evidence shows about its costs and benefits (evidence), what reporters are learning about its best uses (insight), and where it falls short (limitations).

A mobile, solar-powered farmer's market is bringing healthy and affordable produce to Southeast San Diego. The result? It “is beginning to address food apartheid to promote health equity,” according to research. @civileats.com covered how it was built and what other cities can learn:

In March, the U.S. got more energy from renewables than natural gas. It's true! That's largely being driven by local changes — like in Illinois for example. @canarymedia.com covered how statewide cooperation there built huge amounts of solar quickly. www.canarymedia.com/articles/tra...

Does it have a bad reputation?? It is true that sometimes people believe solutions journalism is "good news" — which it's not. And sometimes other legitimate concerns are raised. Here's a good look from an event we hosted based on some constructive criticism: www.journalism.co.uk/news/the-rol...

The role and the risks of solutions journalism for climate reporting

Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. So how can journalists incorporate solutions into their reporting - and is this even the right thing to do?

Solutions stories don’t celebrate responses to problems, or advocate for specific ones; they cover them, investigating what was done and what the evidence says worked and didn’t work about it, and why. They report on the limitations of a response. #richmondbc

To paraphrase a saying about trees, the best time to cover climate solutions was 10 years ago. The next best time is now. Justin Cook and @damaso.bsky.social are as good as anyone at climate visuals, and @projectdrawdown.bsky.social is as good at anyone at vetting solutions. Go to this.

For the next few months, we’ll periodically share standout insights from the Climate Blueprint for Media Transformation, a collaboration between CCNow and the @soljourno.bsky.social. This is the first! climateblueprint.org/article/visu...

Using Climate Visuals to Tell a More Complex Story

Visual journalists are on the front line of the climate crisis.

They are a newsroom’s eyes and ears on the ground, documenting increasingly extreme weather events, disasters, displaced communities and those creating their own solutions. Visual journalism can humanize climate chaos and make complex science relatable.

Two experienced visual journalists teamed up to share approaches they’ve learned to document the climate story holistically, using visuals to deepen understanding rather than just intensifying feeling. This isn’t just about technique — it involves a commitment to ethical behavior and care for the people and places visited.

The more personal the story, the more universal it will be. Make sure to document those stories with trust, sensitivity and reciprocity.

Learn more at climateblueprint.org.

Thanks for including us in this thoughtful thread. It seems that among both climate communicators and journalists, the issue has been an over-reliance on explaining the problem/sounding the alarm, not realizing people also need to deeply understand their options for doing something about it.

Essential solutions reporting as usual from @nyamnews.bsky.social. Has the problem been solved completely? No. Are there issues and difficulties? Of course. But there's progress, and other communities can learn from this effort. Stories like this should be everywhere.
