Abstract

Ongoing social transformation and rapid technological change have ushered in a new frontier which offers a plethora of opportunity for what the future of higher education could potentially look like. And, for media education in particular, these shifts, while casting a wave of uncertainty and caution, outweigh the costs and are ripe with opportunity. When it comes to cultivating media savvy entrepreneurs, particularly those who are interested in using digital tools and approaches to solve societal issues, the marriage of solutions journalism and media entrepreneurship presents a host of opportunities. This study seeks to examine how the solutions journalism framework and accompanying standards can be used as a foundation to teach media entrepreneurship from a social enterprise philosophy/approach.
