摘要

This article delves into the advantages of Constructive Journalism in addressing migration-related themes and how it is a form of activism in critical social contexts. Drawing on methodologies advocated by institutions like the Instituto Periodismo Constructivo in Spain and the Solutions Journalism Network in the USA and employing content analysis of digitally disseminated constructive approaches, the study investigates the potential of this journalistic model to offer insights and solutions to the complex issue of information on migration. The research aims to spotlight innovative initiatives that have the potential for replication and transcending borders. The theoretical framework comprehensively examines this global journalism trend’s concepts, practices, and proposals. This study analyzes the research-action proposal of Cathrine Gyldensted (From mirrors to movers: Five elements of positive psychology in constructive journalism. Group Publishing, 2015) in “From Mirrors to Movers” and explores the potential of more socially committed journalism. This chapter seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse on implementing more constructive journalism practices, particularly in coverage of society sectors underrepresented in mainstream media, such as migrants.
