“The Solutions Visuals program, part of SJN’s Climate Beacon Newsroom Initiative, is SJN’s first dedicated visuals program, created to train newsrooms in producing solutions-focused photos, videos and multimedia stories.

“The program works with U.S.-based newsrooms to expand, experiment with and refine their visual coverage of the responses to climate change and how those solutions intersect with issues like health, economics and civic life. Throughout 12 months of training and mentorship, newsrooms learn how to move beyond images of disaster and devastation and develop the visual storytelling skills needed to capture evidence-based climate solutions in action.

“This year, six newsrooms will be selected to receive $10,000 each along with a year of coaching and support from SJN staff and partners, including award-winning photographers and visual storytellers.”
