Define news as what’s gone wrong, solutions journalism tries to expand that definition: responses to problems are also newsworthy. By adding rigorous coverage of solutions, journalists can tell the whole story. Solutions journalism complements and strengthens coverage of problems.
select something that needs a solution which is already acknowledged as a problem. (Which Ive already chose, the Astro World Festival)

This is my story Idea:
Astro World Festival-
Its so easy to put the blame on him, because the more you read about things, it seems the concert didnt stop. But then theirs moments when it seems like hes looking out for people. I think what you have to realize is, if your preforming in high massive concerts venues, your used to seeing crazy things happen like people passing out. A lot of people are on different drugs and their in a position where they can pass out. If anybody should be held accountable, its the organizers that let so many people in or the safety protocol that didnt block off. They didnt have enough security. Its not necessarily Travis Scoots fault.
CNN talks about how astro world has joined the list of concert tragedies. Ive never seen a situation where the artist is getting the blame. If Travis was in stage and inciting a riot & telling people to push, fight and tear down the barricade, then I would totally understand.
It looks like he could be more sympathetic, but hes not used to seeing people dying at his shows. I think the reason there pushing the blame on him is because his branding is the Mobb aka Rangers. Wherever he goes he makes sure people know that there are many fans that want to see him, so if people are jumping and running up to a McDonalds in which he is located, or an event at NYs fashion week just to see him, hes posting those videos on social media.
A Statement revels that Houston Police warned Travis b4 event . That headline is very misleading because the article says yes he warned Travis about the validity of the crowd , but it was a very respectful meeting told by Travis. Where were the police when they stormed the barricade? The solution would be to up security. They should if organized they event better and be more prepared. Travis scoot responsibility is not to make sure their are enough security guards in the areas of the show, and how many people are let in, the organizers are. At a certain point in time you have to delegate that responsibility to the Huston Police Department or whoever the venue staff is, and if there not coming up, they have to be held responsible not the artist.
