Dowser - The Site for Solution Journalism

Another interesting example. "Who's solving what and how" Limited social functions, but note sections: news and ideas, interviews, mini case studies, and multimedia. This article originally appeared in the Harvard Business Review (presumably used with permission). We should look for material to repurpose too, and establish a routine for requesting use permission.

  1. I like the overarching framing of "Who's solving what and how" -- along with the clean, easy to navigate design. The different sections (news and ideas, interviews, mini case studies, and multimedia) also present a nice array of content -- original and repurposed. Of course, it would be great to balance this sort of well-packaged content with social functions, including (but not limited to) discussion on the packaged content -- which might call for more structuring around the topical priorities of practitioners. Perhaps our framing could be along the lines of "Innovators in Action" to encourage participation en route to the "higher bar" of having solutions and to align with the focus on pioneers.
