Reframing Climate Change Communication in the Norwegian West Coast Media Reframing climate change communication in the Norwegian west coast media What are the framing patterns in the “oil rich” west coast, how do they affect the readers, and what can we learn from the journalists Anja Marken Master thesis in Culture, Environment and Sustainability Centre for Development and Environment UNIVERSITY OF OSLO 24.11.2017 1 2 © Anja Marken 2017 Reframing climate change communication in the Norwegian west coast media – What are the framing patterns in the “oil rich” west coast, how do they affect the readers, and what can we learn from the journalists http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo 3 Abstract Climate change has been framed in terms of disaster, cost, uncertainty, and sacrifice for decades. Many researchers have argued that we have to talk about climate change in a different way. My aim in this thesis has been to look into how the media in the west coast of Norway framed climate change in the period between 01.06.15 – 01.06.16. There are relatively few thorough studies of the discussion of the climate shift in the media that have their basis in the oil-rich Norwegian west coast. My questions were: What are the main characteristics of the Norwegian west coast media coverage of climate shift? How does their coverage of climate problems differ from national or international framing? I identified the existing framing patterns in Bergens Tidende, Sysla and Energi og Klima, and found that there was an overwhelming focus on the green shift and technological solutions. In order to understand how the regional and specialist framing patterns influenced the public’s perceptions of climate change, I interviewed some of the readers of my chosen media. Just as the west coast media, my informants defined climate change as a crisis happening in other countries or affecting future generations. My informants repeated many of the arguments put forward by Bergens Tidende, Sysla and Energi og Klima. However, other aspects of their life such as their personal beliefs and workplace also influenced their perceptions of climate change. Another objective in my thesis was to explore ways to better frame climate change. I therefore interviewed journalists working in my chosen media. The journalists from Bergens Tidende and Sysla were concerned with journalistic norms such as being objective, while the journalists from Energi og Klima had an agenda they wished to convey, and actively worked on reframing the debate. Even though I conclude that the reframing of the climate change debate has started in the west coast media, their framing patterns are still very provincial. In the studied period, climate change was portrayed as a catastrophe happening outside Norway. The fact that Norway might be affected by international affairs, such as wars and migration, was not included in the discussion of climate change. Nor was there any visionary framing showing what a climate friendly future looks like. Instead, the existing framing patterns - focusing on technology and the green shift – did little to mobilize Norwegian readers to participate in the solutions to the climate crisis. 4 5 Acknowledgements Writing a master thesis is a strenuous process, and I could not have done it without help.

  • Journalism After the Monopoly on Publishing Has Been Broken
    69 Journalism After the Monopoly on Publishing Has Been Broken Olav Anders Øvrebø Most journalism that focuses on mass media in Norway has a business orientation. A broader media journalism with a more varied approach may make a decisive contribution to the re-definition of journalism and the role of journalists now that Internet, ‘the Web’, has broken established media’s monopoly on the privilege to publish. Can the press possibly compete with television, “a medium that, in a matter of speaking, lets its audience actually witness events as they happen”? The question was asked in a rhetorical vein by Norwegian editor Chr. A. R. Christensen in 1961, the year after television was introduced in Norway. Christensen was Editor-in-Chief of Verdens Gang, a post he held from the paper’s start in 1945 until his death in 1967.1 Among his many talents, Christensen was a shrewd media analyst, as Martin Eide writes in his biography of Christensen, published in 2006.2 He went on to answer his question about the competitive strength of the press with an emphatic “Yes”: Where television is clearly superior in its speed and ability to provide ‘presence’, the press is unsurpassed when it comes to analysis, interpretation and evaluation, Christensen declared. A history of Norwegian journalism about the media has yet to be written, but when it is, Christensen’s analyses will have a given place in it. Decisive junctures, such as when one or another new media technology appears on the scene, are probably the most interesting periods for historians looking for innovation and definitive steps in the development of journalism.

    BI Norwegian Business School - campus Oslo GRA 19502 Master Thesis Component of continuous assessment: Thesis Master of Science Final master thesis – Counts 80% of total grade The effect of internet usage on voter turnout in the European Union Navn: Andreas Boug Start: 02.03.2018 09.00 Finish: 03.09.2018 12.00 GRA 19502 0940769 Abstract This master thesis investigates the effect of internet usage on voter turnout in the European Union over the sample period from 1990 to 2016. The methodology applies is both ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation and the fixed effect model approach, in which the dependent variable is voter turnout and the independent variable is the internet usage. Both socioeconomic variables such as population, gender (female) and age, in addition to macroeconomic variables such as GDP per capita and the unemployment rate are used as a control variable in the regressions. The main findings suggest a positive and statistically significant effect of internet usage on voter turnout in the European Union. Moreover, the findings from the OLS estimation and the fixed effects models only differ slightly, which makes the simultaneity problem less likely in the empirical analysis. The sensitivity analysis conducted in this thesis examine the robustness of the main findings by firstly excluding the female variable as a control variable and secondly by excluding Belgium and Luxembourg from the data set due to compulsory voting in these countries. In both cases, the estimated effect of internet usage on the voter turnout remains positive and huge in magnitude and statistically significant at conventional levels. That said, all findings reported in this thesis should be considered with some caution, as more comprehensive sensitivity analysis with respect to control variables not used in the empirical analysis may be conducted.

In his speech at the national commemorative day on 22 August, one month after the tragedy, H M King Harald emphasized the importance of our basic values: “I stand fast to my belief that freedom is stronger than fear. I stand fast to my belief in an open Norwegian democracy and civic life. And I stand fast to my belief in our opportunities for living freely and safely in our own country.” A prerequisite for these values to prevail is a free press. Tinius Nagell-Erichsen, who established the Trust in May 1996, emphasized the importance of working for the freedom of speech and a free press as an essential safeguard for an active democracy. Securing these values is a task the Trust carrying his name is taking very seriously. In the media world of today, this challenge is greater than ever. It requires that we protect principles like freedom of faith, tolerance, human rights and democratic principles, just those values which were challenged by the events on 22 July 2011.

  • Norway's European Conundrum
    Norway’s European Conundrum John Erik Fossum Working Paper No. 4, February 2009 ARENA Working Paper (online) | ISSN 1890- 7741 Working papers can be downloaded from the ARENA homepage: http://www.arena.uio.no Abstract Membership in the European Union has for several decades figured as one of, if not the, most politically divisive issues in Norway. The question of Norwegian EU membership has been turned down in two popular referenda, and three governments have faltered on the issue. Since 1994, through the EEA agreement and other formalized links under all three EU pillars, Norway has become tightly incorporated in the EU. Norway’s ‘tight incorporation without formal membership’ has occurred without much political uproar and within a context where Norwegian political actors have removed the contentious EU membership issue from the political and public agenda. It is the political mechanisms that political actors have used to remove the contentious membership issue from the political agenda that is the topic of this article. I argue that these can be usefully studied with reference to Stephen Holmes’ notion of ‘gag rules’, formal and informal provisions bent on removing contentious issues from debate and decision-making. These mechanisms have helped smooth Norway’s incorporation in the EU, a type of incorporation that poses serious challenges to Norwegian democracy. In the concluding section the democratic implications are discussed. This single-case study of Norway offers insights into mechanisms and patterns of de-politicization of European integration and the democratic implications thereof that are of relevance across Europe.

The five countries are the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdor.. It.is stated that the basic idea of "Sport for All" is of a sociocultural nature: it regards sport and its functions as an integral part of permanent education. All of the reports place emphasis on medico-biological motives, sociological. motives (the question of the use of leisure time), and educational motives (the place of sport in our civilization as a whole). Topics covered in the five reports are various methodologies of each country's program, the attitude of women towards sport, the training of instructors, the general public response, and the future needs of the "Sport for All" program.

    ISSN 1392–0561. INFORMACIJOS MOKSLAI. 2008 47 Media, market, state and politics in Norway Dr. Robert Vaagan Oslo University College, Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science PO Box 4, St.Olavs plass, 0130 Oslo, Norway Phone: 47 22 45 26 65, fax: 47 22 45 26 05 E-mail: [email protected] The article builds on Hallin & Mancini (2004) who have used a democratic corporatist model to analyze the media markets of several Northern and Central European countries, including Norway. An analysis of the Norwegian media market is presented, focusing on five key issue areas: changes in media usage, financing, technology, ownership and legislation. The analysis partially supports one of the key features of Hallin & Mancini’s model, i.e. the fairly interventionist role of the Norwegian authorities in the media sector. This is nonetheless tempered by the high level of marketization in most issue areas examined. Overall, there is therefore some reason to argue that “market is king” in Norwegian media.
