I keep on hearing the kvetching about not being willing to pay for good journalism but where the hell can I actually find it? It comes across as pure entitlement on their part, especially since I recall the various youth targetted moral panics like rainbow parties and "pharm parties" of taking literally everything in the medical cabinets like a bowl of skittles and taking them randomly - there were not nearly enough dead bodies or hospitalizations for that level of stupidity. Let alone trivially Google research refutable claims - it is one thing to write at a third grade level, it is another to be out fact checked by third graders.

"solutions journalism" is an really interesting effort to adapt journalism to current realities in a positive way.

"It investigates and explains, in a critical and clear-eyed way, examples of people working toward solutions. It focuses not just on what may be working, but how and why it appears to be working, or alternatively, why it may be stumbling. Using the best available evidence, it delves deep into the how-to’s of problem solving, often structuring stories as puzzles or mysteries that investigate questions like: What models are having success reducing the dropout rate in public schools? How do they actually work? What are they doing differently than others that’s resulting in a better outcome?"
