"The theory and practice of constructive journalism is based on the following three-pillar model developed by the CI, which is seen to ensure journalism's contribution to democracy: focus on solutions: do not only expose the problems, but also look for possible solutions; cover nuances: strive for the best-obtainable version of the truth, see the world from different perspectives; promote democratic conversation: facilitate and engage in debate including the community. Each chapter in the handbook examines the use of the three-pillar model at every stage of the reporting cycle. Guidance notes are supported by a list of key questions to ask, as well as group- or pair-focused exercises." (https://www.comminit.com)
