A new academic volume by Alfred Ludovig Fellner has been published by the prestigious publisher Springer, addressing the emerging field of solution-oriented photojournalism with a specific focus on climate change reporting. The book represents the PhD thesis and examines how visual journalism can move beyond problem-focused narratives and contribute to public understanding by highlighting responses, strategies, and pathways for addressing climate-related challenges.
The publication offers a rigorous theoretical and practical framework relevant to PhD candidates, early-career researchers, and scholars in media studies, communication, and environmental studies. By combining photojournalistic practice with solution-oriented approaches, the volume contributes to current academic debates on the role of journalism in shaping informed and constructive public discourse on climate change.
