Former BBC and ITV newsreader Sir Martyn Lewis is still ploughing the "Good News" furrow, which has morphed from "solutions-focused journalism" into "constructive news".
Now there's a Constructive Institute, based at Aarhus University, funded by big names like the Tryg Foundation, Aarhus Stiftstidendes Fond, Den Fynske Bladfond, Bestseller, the Helsingin Sanomat Foundation, Politiken-Fonden, Nordea Fonden, and Google Digital News Initiative.
Martyn has managed to inveigle BBC News' Digital Director Naja Nielsen into a long-ish interview, billed as "News Avoidance: Thoughts from Naja Nielsen, Digital Director, BBC News". Naja may be important to the future of BBC News, with the departure of thought-leader Kamal Ahmed, and the questions about Jonathan Munro's appointment judgements.
