1 Namnlöst-2 1 2007-09-24, 09:15 Nordicom Provides Information about Media and Communication Research Nordicom’s overriding goal and purpose is to make the media and communication research undertaken in the Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – known, both throughout and far beyond our part of the world. Toward this end we use a variety of channels to reach researchers, students, decision-makers, media practitioners, journalists, information officers, teachers, and interested members of the general public. Nordicom works to establish and strengthen links between the Nordic research community and colleagues in all parts of the world, both through information and by linking individual researchers, research groups and institutions. Nordicom documents media trends in the Nordic countries. Our joint Nordic information service addresses users throughout our region, in Europe and further afield. The production of comparative media statistics forms the core of this service. Nordicom has been commissioned by UNESCO and the Swedish Government to operate The Unesco International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media, whose aim it is to keep users around the world abreast of current research findings and insights in this area. An institution of the Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordicom operates at both national and regional levels. National Nordicom documentation centres are attached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. NORDICOM Göteborg -
Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.

Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work.

And most importantly – you need to balance ambition with realism. We planned realistically for a three-step strategy to raise Critical Heritage Studies at GU to an internationally leading level over a minimum period of 9-10 years. Parallel with this we anchored it internally within the four faculties of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and art. For the first two phases each step in the process marked a real progression, and for the planned third we continue this line to reach our primary goal. 2010-2012: Formation phase. Collaboration of four faculties; recruitment of 5 international post-docs to support research environment; reaching out and connecting internally and internationally; organized first international conference on Critical Heritage Studies with 500 participants; formation of Association of Critical Heritage Studies based at GU. -
The Shift from High to Liquid Ideals Making Sense of Journalism and Its Change Through a Multidimensional Model
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv Nordicom Review 34 (2013) Special Issue, pp.141-154 The Shift from High to Liquid Ideals Making Sense of Journalism and Its Change through a Multidimensional Model Kari Koljonen Abstract By reading qualitative studies, surveys, organisational histories, and textbooks, one can claim that the ethos of journalists has undergone fundamental changes in recent decades. The “high modern” journalistic ethos of the 1970s and 1980s was committed to the core values of the journalistic profession: objectivity, public service, consensus maintenance, gate-keeping, and recording of the recent past. After the millennium, these central ideals have become more ambivalent and “liquid”: subjectivity, consumer service, the watchdog role, agenda-setting, and forecasting the future seem to be more tempting alternatives than before. This article develops an analytic framework that elaborates the simple narrative from “high modern” to “liquid modern” journalism. Five key elements, namely, (1) knowledge, (2) audience, (3) power, (4) time, and (5) ethics, are discussed and problematized to suggest a more nuanced view of the changing professional ethos of journalism. Keywords: journalistic profession, core elements of journalism, professional ethos, high/ liquid modern ideals, multidimensional model, analysis of change Introduction One of the most common ways of crafting normative, evaluative discourses is to con- struct a narrative of change. This has also been true in journalism research recently (e.g. McChesney & Nichols 2010, McChesney & Pickard 2011). However, because journalism is a multifaceted institution with many interfaces to its social, political, and economic contexts, many alternative narratives are possible. -

Read All Letters of Support
Letter of Support for the City of Gothenburg The Swedish Writers’ Union wishes to express wholehearted support for Gothenburg’s application to become a UNESCO City of Literature. The Swedish Writers’ Union is the only professional union in Sweden representing writers and literary translators. We have in excess of 3,000 members whose interests we represent as their “spokesperson” in dealings with the Swedish Government and the Riksdag, as well as all other organisations involved in cultural policy, on matters related to the professional conditions for all writers and translators in the literary field. The basis of our operations is safeguarding our members’ interests by defending freedom of expression, monitoring copyright legislation and ensuring that authors receive reasonable remuneration for their literary works. Literature is a multifaceted sector covering everything from public events, libraries, book circles and writing courses to literature study programmes, criticism, authorship, literary mediation and initiatives to promote reading. We often speak of the importance of a functioning literary ecosystem, the health of which depends on each component functioning properly. This is the case in Gothenburg. While it may be Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg is very much at the forefront when it comes to literature. Investments in literature made by Gothenburg benefit the whole of Sweden. The annual Göteborg Book Fair is a case in point, as are the activities held at Göteborgs Litteraturhus [Gothenburg House of Literature] and the Literary Composition and Literary Translation programmes at HDK-Valand – Academy of Art and Design at the University of Gothenburg, not to mention the outstanding annual initiative to promote reading among children and young people that sees authors from all around the country visiting every school in Gothenburg and its suburbs. -
