What can we do together?
TRAIN & Mentor
Inclusive Journalism offers training and mentoring for journalists, media professionals, and leaders working under pressure and uncertainty. We focus on solutions journalism, complicating the narrative, digital strategy, and sustainable leadership. Our trainings and mentoring create space to slow down, sharpen judgment, and navigate complexity, supporting professional growth and more deliberate ways of working in media. Why people choose to work with Inclusive Journalism.
Advise & insight
Inclusive Journalism works with organizations, editors, and leaders at moments where decisions matter. We offer strategic advice on storytelling approaches informed by decolonial thinking, as well as leadership and organizational practices. Our role is the challenge assumptions, surface blind spots, and support clearer choices when there are no easy answers. Why people choose to work with Inclusive Journalism.

Solutions Journalism Retreat, May 2023
โGreat Solutions Journalism retreat with an interesting and varied program. The different parts of the program turned out to be interconnected which added depth to the overall experience. The location in the beautiful Frisian countryside, with lovely food and interesting people, made it a retreat to remember!โ

Co-editor, New Internationalist
HI,โIโm Sanne
I founded Inclusive Journalism in 2020 as a platform for training, research, and reflection on how journalism is practiced and led. I have worked as a radio and digital media editor-in-chief and manager, and now work internationally as a trainer, advisor, and researcher with media organizations and networks. My work focuses on constructive storytelling, decolonial perspectives, and sustainable ways of working in journalism and media.
Online training enables collaboration across borders, as shown here in a session with journalists from Europe, Africa, and Asia during the Train-the-Trainer programme of the Solutions Journalism Network.
Inclusive Journalism designs and facilitates online trainings that are rigorous, participatory, and attentive to the realities of working under pressure. We use interactive tools and structured discussion in well-paced sessions that allow participants to stay focused and engaged over time.
This approach is particularly suited to international teams working across time zones and contexts. Reach out if youโd like to explore whether it fits your setting.

โWhat the earth is exhausted of is not its resources, what it has lost is its meaning. This is the great burden that now rests upon writers, artists, filmmakers, and everyone else who is involved in the telling of stories: to us falls the task of imaginatively restoring agency and voice to nonhumans.โ
