Desc	Practice Change - (formerly known as "Newsroom Practice Change"Journalist Practice Change"): The Organization leverages its curriculum to catalyze and sustain the practice of solutions journalism in news organizations and with individual journalists. The Organization cultivates relationships with individual outlets or with groups of outlets, often resulting in high-impact solutions-focused reporting projects. Representative recent engagements include those with U.S News & World Report; the Associated Press; KPCC Southern California Public Radio; and the Iowa Center for Public Affairs Journalism. These relationships typically begin with a workshop introducing newsroom staff to the solutions approach. The Organization then provides research and editorial consulting support to reporters, producers, and editors. In many cases, the Organization also offers modest financial resources to support reporter travel and other high-value activities. In 2019, the Organization supported projects focused on strengthening democracy, health, education and other topics. Having built a network of over 400 news outlets, the Organization is now also focused on ensuring the sustainability of the solutions-journalism technique in these newsrooms and on fostering shared-learning across its newsroom partners. In certain special relationships, cases that promise to generate great visibility, impact, and learning, the Organization invests in longer-term, higher-impact newsroom projects. In 2019, it extended its "Education Lab" collaboration with The Seattle Times for a seventh year. "Education Lab" has generated dozens of prominent feature stories, hundreds of blog posts and interactive features, and a series of live events - which together have increased audience engagement around education issues and catalyzed notable policy changes. In 2019, the Organizations new Local Media Project began providing substantial two-year financial support to collaborations of multiple news organizations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. The Organization complements its work with news organizations by mechanisms that seek to advance the adoption of the solutions approach by individual journalists. Online network: The Organization's member website, The Hub, continued to act as the central repository for all the resources and programs we offer to individual journalists. Membership in the Hub grew by 75% in 2019, to 5,970 members. The Organization offered fellowships with modest financial stipends to 21 journalists to support entrepreneurial projects that promised to advance the practice of solutions reporting around the world. It also created a mentorship program that resulted in solutions reporting projects by 35 journalists. The Organization continues to perform well within its social media communities. In 2019 on Twitter, the Organization's following increased by 42%, to more than 24,200 followers. Its Facebook group grew by 24%. Community building: The Organization held its third annual summit in November 2019, bringing together 90 journalists and journalism school professors for collaborations around solutions journalism. As with 2018, feedback from this anchor event was strong: 81% of attendees who responded to our survey said it exceeded their expectations. Additionally, the Organization held key events such as the Revenue Summit, connecting and supporting two dozen newsroom leaders from across the United States.; a Renewing Democracy event that attracted political reporters and members of the public in Austin, Texas; and an event focused on homelessness in Charlotte, North Carolina. Journalism schools: The Organization's work to integrate solutions reporting into journalism school curriculum has created a core of five beacon journalism schools who champion the practice in their institutions. The Organization has also established new relationships with 30 other institutions that have committed to incorporating the solutions approach into their curricula. The Organization partnered with the University of Oregons Catalyst Journalism Project to produce a learning academy that brought together 20 university educators from across the nation.	Desc

Desc	Knowledge Dissemination - (formerly known as "Pattern Change"): The Organization continues to expand and manage the Solutions Story Tracker, which now contains over 8,000 stories tagged by issue and problem-solving approach, as well as SolutionsU, a suite of tools to help all learners easily find, integrate, and share solutions stories, to support teaching and learning in social innovation and other topics. In 2019, the Organization welcomed a second cohort of Story Fellows. These nine Story Fellows vet stories for high-caliber, solutions-focused journalism for the Solutions Story Tracker and they added 2,682 stories in 2019. The Organization continues to support faculty in developing and sharing teaching materials based on solutions journalism stories in a range of disciplines. Since the original "Story Tracker" launched in 2016 at least 7,800 students have been exposed to solutions stories through 196 courses taught by 71 educators at more than 60 institutions.	Desc

Desc	Curriculum - (formerly known as "Education"): The Organization has created a core curriculum designed to introduce its distinctive approach to journalism professionals and students; and to further develop and strengthen the skills of those who already integrate solutions-oriented reporting into their work. The Organization provides an online suite of courses, the "Learning Lab," which is free to access. It includes core training in solutions journalism, as well as specialized guides for editors and reporters focusing on specific beats, such as violence, education, and health. These resources, in addition to a growing archive of thousands of model-solutions stories, are intended to advance the understanding and practice of solutions-journalism for reporters and editors who do not have access to its direct trainings. Working with partners, the Organization is translating some of these resources into multiple languages, making them accessible to non-English-speaking constituents.	Desc
