The Solutions Journalism Network Exchange is an open exchange of solutions-based journalism articles. The exchange allows any newsroom to republish the stories for free as a public service, with credit to the original author and outlet.

Starting this week, it’s becoming a part of the Associated Press’ StoryShare program. Any news org with media insurance can contribute or republish articles from the site. Find out more on how the program works.

The course will take place each Tuesday over 6 weeks starting in February, and you can register to attend here.
