It’s an urgency if we want to create stories that are prioritized by future generations - and there are many relevant questions to ask. Join us on May 30, when we try to answer some of them at our Constructive Copenhagen Summit following @NewspaperWorld Conference in Copenhagen.
"We only hire our journalists to do this kind of journalism. Those are the stories that do really well. Where we help the audience to understand and go beyond the big gloomy headlines," she told us about how they work.
At BBC in Nairobi, #constructivejournalism has become a natural part of how they tell stories. To @J_Njeri, Senior News Editor at @BBCAfrica, it's key when trying to show a true and nuanced picture of #Africa.
The first fellow of the Constructive Journalism Fellowship of 2024-2025 has been appointed. Finnish journalist, @MattilaNoora, will begin her fellowship at the independent journalistic center Constructive Institute, situated on the campus of Aarhus University, in September.
Every year we bring our cohort of fellows on a week’s research and study trip to Silicon Valley in the USA, which is home to some of the world’s biggest tech companies. (1/6)
Science and journalism share the ambition of documenting the causes for #climatechange. So it only makes sense that they unite in the search for new knowledge and inspire for change based on research and fact-based storytelling.

Our Climate Explorers from 5 continents learned about protein from grass, which has the potential to dramatically reduce imports of soy beans, co2 emissions and more. They also followed testing of living cows producing less methane & more milk at the Danish Cattle Research Center
So rarely has the ambition of building bridges between scientists and journalists made more sense, than during a meeting between curious reporters and editors from CI and dedicated researchers from @AarhusUni Viborg placed in the heart of the Danish farmland in Foulum.
We are humbled and happy to announce that Salling Fondene has extended their support to Constructive Institute. The new donation of DKK 4.5M will run over two years and will ensure new initiatives that can be anchored with journalists around Denmark and later around the world.
Proud to announce our 5 #ClimateExplorers who are with #constructiveinstitute for the next 5 months 🌍 Representing Kenya, India, Australia, Norway and Argentina and with support from #CORC, we will find constructive ways to report on climate issues in the future #climate #dkpol
5 of the best climate reporters from 5 continents meet in Denmark for 5 months to tell the most important story of our time. We are excited to announce The Climate Explorer Program, in partnership with @CORC_CO2. The program is led by @CynaraKV, along with @AlexaBorchardt
Our new project, the Climate Explorer Program, couldn't come at a better time!
✍🏽 Five leading climate journalists from five continents will come together to explore how constructive journalism can help beat climate fatigue.

Last week, the Constructive Institute and Gapminder Foundation held a class for the journalists at Swedish national public television broadcaster SVT. We’d like to thank all the journalists who attended the session and can’t wait to see how they do constructive journalism!
"A diverse media landscape is a prerequisite for a well-functioning democracy. News fatigue can have a negative impact on young citizens' political engagement. This is what we aim to counteract with this project," says founder and CEO of Constructive Institute, @UlrikHaagerup.
The @risj_oxford Digital News Report from 2023 states that trust in both the media and politicians is decreasing, which is in no way beneficial for democracy. We, at the Constructive Institute, actively work to counteract this.
The number of Danes actively avoiding news is on the rise. The @risj_oxford Digital News Report 2023 indicates that 20% of Danes often avoid news—a figure that has increased from 15% in 2019. According to Reuters, it is particularly young people who do not actively seek out news.
