	abstract = {This study analyzes the use of problem-solving strategies, news frames, narratives, and sourcing patterns in reporting on international news events. It also explores factors influencing the constructive practices of journalists.
Using the qualitative method, the study employs content analysis and in-depth interviews. The research sample includes the three newspapers: The New York Times, The Guardian and Positive News within a one-year time frame, extending from June 1st, 2023, to June 1st, 2024. This includes the analysis of the international news coverage of five cases, which are: COP28, global inflation and interest rates, the Israel-Gaza war, mental health, and artificial intelligence regulations. The In-depth interviews sample includes seven interviews with solutions journalism pioneers and practitioners from the international newspapers under study.
Key findings revealed distinct approaches among the newspapers in their coverage and use of strategies. Positive News consistently prioritized solutions-oriented reporting, dedicating 100\% of its COP28 and Israel-Gaza war stories to this approach, emphasizing community-driven and empathetic strategies. The New York Times, on the other hand, integrated pragmatic, data-driven approaches with a focus on accountability and economic impacts, often leaning towards non-solutions journalism, particularly in cases like the Israel-Gaza war and global inflation and interest rates. Likewise, The Guardian balanced empathy, ethics, and collaboration to deliver multidimensional coverage tailored to global challenges but also demonstrates a trend towards non-solutions journalism in specific topics. Despite these differences, all three newspapers exhibit a shared preference for solutions journalism in their reporting on artificial intelligence regulation.
Key themes from in-depth interviews highlighted solutions journalism's adaptability in addressing systemic issues like climate change and healthcare, its capacity to empower audiences by promoting resilience and reducing news fatigue, and its potential to inspire societal engagement. However, challenges such as resource limitations, political constraints, and culturally sensitive media environment were also evident.},
