Solutions Journalism vs. Short Attention Spans: Who Wins?

With Anastasiia Rudenko and Maryna Smahina

This interactive workshop will explore how solutions journalism can move beyond its traditional long, in-depth, slow-journalism format and adapt to the reality of short attention spans, social media, and audience fatigue. Drawing on Rubryka’s Ukrainian experience, Anastasiia Rudenko and Maryna Smahina will guide participants through practical ways to turn complex solutions stories into Reels, carousels, explainers, and other short formats while preserving depth, evidence, limitations, and trust.
