Abstract: 
In many African countries where people are brutally divided along ethnic, political and religious lines, a polarised media is likely to worsen the status quo. In this reflective essay, we explore what solutions journalism is and make a case for its application in journalism practice. We argue that the application of the six approaches to reporting on issues that polarise society has the potential to offer relevant solutions to societal problems, erode polarisation in the media and make journalism more relevant to society.
