What happens when two solutions-focused news platforms compare notes on how to change the narrative of the world? Meet Myra Anubi - BBC journalist and host of People Fixing the World - who, like Fix The News, is part of a growing movement to challenge the doom and gloom by reporting on what’s working. Through stories of climate innovation, global health breakthroughs and grassroots problem-solving, Myra is helping prove that solutions journalism isn’t a soft alternative - it’s rigorous, necessary, and reshaping the future of news. Myra takes us behind the scenes to unpack how these stories are found, verified and told inside one of the world’s largest media organisations. She also reflects on her lifelong relationship with the BBC World Service - and why telling stories of progress may be one of journalism’s most important challenges, and greatest opportunities, today. In this episode:·      What solutions journalism actually is - and why it matters·      Why “good news” still faces resistance in mainstream media·      Growing up in Kenya “raised by radio” ·      How COVID and George Floyd coverage reshaped her family’s media diet·      Collaboration as a practical remedy·      Why audiences are hungry for stories of progress·      What the future of journalism could look like Timestamps: 02:15 What Myra really thinks of the news 03:50 What counts as someone fixing the world? 05:19 Inside the BBC: Pitching “What’s Working”09:13 Raised by radio in Kenya10:43 How the BBC shaped Myra’s worldview12:16 Myra’s journey from solutions sceptic to evangelist15.47 Gus & Amy’s midpoint reflections17.11 The power of Kangaroo Care as a solution19.03 The pattern of change20.07 What makes someone fix the world?22.13 Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka and conservation through public health 24.42 How being detained in Uganda exposed deeper challenges within journalism26.56 The work ahead for solutions journalism28.48 How to change your children’s media diet31.55 Myra’s remedy for the world – collaboration32.55 The personal impact of solutions journalism 34.00 Gus & Amy’s final reflections Find out more:👉 BBC People Fixing The World👉 Podcast link👉 Linkedin👉 InstagramAbout Fix The News:Fix The News is a solutions-focused media platform sharing stories from the frontlines of progress - exploring what’s working in the world and the people making it happen.Subscribe & follow:If you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and leave a review - it helps more people find these stories.Production credits:Hosted by Angus Hervey and Amy Davoren-RoseProduced by Fix The NewsAudio production: Anthony Badolato, Hear That! This episode was produced in Australia on the lands of the Gadigal, Wurundjeri and Woi Wurrung peoples.
