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.

How can media cover climate-issues constructively? How can #AI be used in a positive way to add more nuances into our stories? Rethinking journalism is crucial in our current media landscape.

"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.

She will be part of a larger group of fellows as another 8 journalists, editors or other media employees, all from Denmark, will be selected for the 2024-2025 fellowship program during the spring. To know more and apply: constructiveinstitute.org/apply-now/

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.

Thank you to all the amazing people we met and who were generous with their time and thoughts. We return from Silicon Valley as optimists. (6/6) @rebecahwang @chaseneil @lilalahood @garciaruize @gtherolf @JamesFahn @jonathanstray @richardgingras @degarciaknight @UlrikHaagerup

We need a balanced coverage of the benefits and drawbacks of AI and guide the conversation towards constructive outcomes. Journalism can help demystify technology for the general public, and ensure that the narrative is not controlled by the technology companies. (5/6)

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. @UlrikHaagerup @CORC_CO2

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.
