Fixes column in NYT

In a study by the Solutions Journalism Network and the Engaging News Project, over 700 people were asked questions about their responses to stories written in two different ways – one presenting just the problem, and one also featuring solutions.

It found that readers of stories that also explored ways of solving the problem raised were more likely to share them with their friends.
