After attending Constructive Institute in Århus, Denmark as a fellow, Gerd has set out to rethink about journalism:

I work to create a society where everyone who wants to feel part of a meaningful community is able to make informed decisions and actively participate in the development of society.

Her company, “Room of Solutions” helps create and implement strategies that includes constructive and engaging journalism. By tradition, editorial managers don’t talk about negative or constructive news, it’s all about news. Gerd is challenging this rule, saying that media needs to be critical to own methods to find its future position in society.

I help Danish and foreign media and educational institutions with strategy workshops, inspirational lectures and educational programs.

I am committed, passionate and focused on developing journalism so that it constructively supports a positive development in our society.
I believe in inclusivity, inspiration, nuances and trust as the fundamental journalistic criteria.

Gerd Marie May worked as a journalist at Danmarks Radio, head of editorial developments at Fyhns Stiftstidende and has held educational positions as lecturer at University of Southern Denmark.
