Abstract
With the rise of constructive journalism, there is a growing recognition of the importance of focusing on positive aspects in news reporting rather than solely highlighting negative events. The prevalence of negatively framed news, particularly in the era of social media infodemic, has led to low engagement and negative perception among the public. To fulfil the educational function of news, it is crucial for the news industry and education sector to embrace constructive journalism practices. This study aims to investigate the impact of problem-solving elements in constructive news on student perceptions and behavioural changes. Using a quantitative approach, 390 respondents were surveyed, and descriptive and correlational analyses were conducted using SPSS to examine the relationship between student behaviours and problem-solving elements in constructive news. The results indicate a significant relationship between the two variables. These findings highlight the importance of implementing constructive journalism in both journalistic practice and education. Additionally, this study serves as a foundation for future researchers to conduct more comprehensive investigations in this field.
