Paper abstract bibtex Communication studies scholars mostly agree about one thing: the media have to change and they need a more balanced approach towards reporting about important topics. As a result of these thoughts, a new idea about media reporting has emerged and it is called a constructive journalism approach, which represents a journalism form that is focused on perspectives and solutions of social and natural problems rather than just stating them. This paper investigates how journalists in Bosnia and Herzegovina understand constructive journalism in relation to their colleagues in the United States of America. These two countries were chosen because of their different journalistic practices. While the USA is characterized by a long tradition of free journalism, B&H has only been a multi-party state since the 90s. While the American media is characterized by a more positive interpretive frame when reporting on socially relevant topics from the country (Harcup & O'Neill, 2016), in B&H media interpretations are mostly negatively intoned (Delić, 2022; Hrnjić Kuduzović & Čičkušić, 2018). Through ten in-depth interviews with journalists from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United States, we discovered that US journalists understand the concept of constructive journalism better than Bosnian journalists. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is a lack of research on the journalistic perception of constructive journalism, and the situation is similar in the USA, even though a large number of works are available on constructive journalism as a concept or representation of constructive stories in the media. With this research, we will try to contribute to understanding of constructive journalism from the perspective of professional journalists. Journalists from two countries believe that journalism needs to change regarding its core values, but they are not equally prepared to change them.
