Five countries are included: Russia (Moscow State University), Finland (University of Jyväskylä), Estonia (University of Tartu), Poland (University of Warsaw) and Sweden (Södertörn Uni- versity). Research questions – Teachers perspectives. Knowledge and Professional Values in the Edu- cation? Reflections on the role of journalism in society? Autonomy of Journalists? Cooperation with the Industry? – Studies in Journalism – in the eyes of the students. Future careers in journalism? Labour market? Professional identity? The role of journal- ism in society? Reflections on the programmes? Method Official documents, curricula and descriptions of courses give the context. Qualitative interviews with altogether 40 teachers have been analyzed. A survey of 527 journalism students (157 from Sweden/ Södertörn, 141 from Russia/ Moscow, 145 from Poland/Warsaw, 47 from Estonia/Tartu and 31 from Finland/Jyväskylä) shows how the students see their future role. Results Opposing demands characterize the programmes in journalism at all the universities. They exist in a dynamic interface between prevailing aca- demic traditions, the media industry and the political establishment. Ideological shifts are especially dramatic in the post-Communist countries. The similarities in some responses suggest a convergence of perceptions of journalism independent of national context.

The countries have been chosen because they represent media systems and journalistic cultures in transition. The universities have a strong position and a tradition of international cooperation in the field of journalism research. The focus is to see how teachers and students understand the future role of journalists in their respective countries. The first steps in this project were taken in 2010. We contacted the various universities that were to be involved in the study. Our partners in this project were to be Maria Lukina in Moscow, Raimo Salokangas at Jyväskylä, Halliki Harro-Loit at Tartu and Dominika Rafalska/Marcin Larcynski in Warsaw. Just like us, they were interested in professional values and the differences and similarities between the programmes. Our colleagues in our own department at Södertörn University in Sweden were given the same information as the other universities. We stressed that the idea was to shed light on the historical background to current practices and to document how different elements of the pro- grammes were related. At the same time we noticed that the point of departure could be found in our shared challenges in the media land- scape: the democratic role in relation to technological developments, the increasing difficulty of defining the role of the journalist, the global deluge of news, the diminishing advertising revenues of the media com- panies and the desperate search for new business models. The study is based on earlier research and discussions about jour- nalism education as the “agent for change” (Josephi 2009, 2012). Changes in what direction? Who are the driving forces in the academic 1 PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY IN CHANGING MEDIA LANDSCAPES world? How do teachers and administrators balance the opinions of the sector and the commitment of the state with their own personal con- victions and their students’ wishes? Josephi (2010) voices a need for research into programmes in jour- nalism that have a broader approach than the focus on the countries normally studied in western media research. Our study is one step in this direction. Is homogenization of future journalists taking place, so that both the skills required and the ideals and values are merging. How do students view their future professional roles? Professional identity is a core concept. It has been the subject of sociological research since the days of Talcott Parsons (1964). The Swedish researcher Thomas Brante (2005, 2011) sums up views on professions in the following way: their members use skills based on theoretical knowledge, they have been trained in their field and have an official qualification. Shared codes of conduct guarantee profess- sional integrity. In addition, members share a sense of identity, com- mon values and a language. This is one way of defining the concept that is close to ours. In research on journalism studies of professionalization and editorial practice have sometimes been combined (Weaver et al. 2006). Journal- istic identity creates a culture that its members embrace. Everyday activities in the newsroom influence in their turn the professional identities of journalists (Hanitzsch 2009). In other words there is inter- action and mutual dependence. Our curiosity is based on this interplay. The report begins with a section on journalism and democracy as well as earlier research on programmes in journalism and the concept of professional identity. A brief review is offered of the development of the media in Europe. Research questions and methodological considerations are followed by the results of the study. We hope that this account can contribute to the discussion of aims in journalism education – and how to achieve them. Perhaps also enable some teachers to recognize themselves and discover new ways of relating to developments in the sector. 2 Journalism and Democracy Approaching academic programmes in journalism can be risky for a researcher. It is easy to be caught in the crossfire of opposing demands. Representatives of the sector do not recognize the requirements that are formulated in the different academic disciplines. Everyone can agree about technical skills needed, as well as quick thinking and responsive- ness to the audience. What more? Perhaps nothing? Barbie Zelizer (2004, 2009) claims that journalism can be found everywhere and now- here. The concept of journalist poses even greater difficulty. There is a professional core but the borders to adjacent fields are wide open. Researchers in journalism, communication, sociology, history, political science, language and the humanities identify and study various ele- ments of this indeterminate whole. Representatives of different programmes in journalism met in Paris in 2005 within the framework of a UNESCO initiative. The idea was to collect experiences and sketch the outline of a model for the education of future journalists – a model that could be used to develop indepen- dent journalism in countries with limited economic resources. The outcome, the report Model Curricula for Journalism Education

  • Michael Schulte
    Frederick Hale The South African Immorality Act and Sara Lidman’s Jag och min son? candinavian reactions to apartheid in South Africa were almost universally negative since that term for pervasive racial segregation S was coined in the late 1940s. Specifically, journalistic criticism of the National Party, which acceded to power in 1948 and shortly thereafter began to implement its racist programme of social engineering, has always been severe. Prior to the 1960s, however, political and economic ties between the Nordic countries and South Africa remained generally amiable if rarely cordial. Trade was unimpeded, and dozens of Scandinavian companies occupied spaces in the industrial and commercial landscape of South Africa while enough ships of Nordic registry called at Durban and Cape Town to justify the existence of seamen’s missions for their crews in both ports. During the 1960s, though, relations began to sour notably. The legislative bodies of the Scandinavian countries gradually imposed restrictions on commercial links; missionary staffs in South Africa dwindled; and the public image of the Nationalist regime in Pretoria went from bad to virtually demonic. Eventually Scandinavian Airways System cancelled its flights to Johannesburg and, at least on an officially acknowledged level, trade ground to a halt. The Nordic countries, especially Sweden, gained a reputation amongst white South Africans as being some of the most uncompromising international foes of white minority rule. It is not difficult to identify several factors for this worsening of relations around 1960. One of the most obvious is the global reaction © TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek, vol. 21 (2000), nr. 1 [ISSN: 0168-2148] 56 TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek to the massacre at Sharpeville in March of that year, when South African policemen shot several dozen unarmed blacks who were protesting against the notorious pass laws.

  • Generational Use of News Media in Estonia
    Generational Use of News Media in Estonia Contemporary media research highlights the importance of empirically analysing the relationships between media and age; changing user patterns over the life course; and generational experiences within media discourse beyond the widely-hyped buzz terms such as the ‘digital natives’, ‘Google generation’, etc. The Generational Use doctoral thesis seeks to define the ‘repertoires’ of news media that different generations use to obtain topical information and create of News Media their ‘media space’. The thesis contributes to the development of in Estonia a framework within which to analyse generational features in news audiences by putting the main focus on the cultural view of generations. This perspective was first introduced by Karl Mannheim in 1928. Departing from his legacy, generations can be better conceived of as social formations that are built on self- identification, rather than equally distributed cohorts. With the purpose of discussing the emergence of various ‘audiencing’ patterns from the perspectives of age, life course and generational identity, the thesis centres on Estonia – a post-Soviet Baltic state – as an empirical example of a transforming society with a dynamic media landscape that is witnessing the expanding impact of new media and a shift to digitisation, which should have consequences for the process of ‘generationing’. The thesis is based on data from nationally representative cross- section surveys on media use and media attitudes (conducted 2002–2012). In addition to that focus group discussions are used to map similarities and differences between five generation cohorts born 1932–1997 with regard to the access and use of established news media, thematic preferences and spatial orientations of Signe Opermann Signe Opermann media use, and a discursive approach to news formats.

I combine media studies with political science, EU studies and nationalism studies to scrutinize this period as an example of a ‘formative moment’. During this formative moment the EU became ‘the new official Other’ in relation to which a new temporary community, Estonia as a candidate country, was ‘imagined’ in the paper. The study is based on the assumption that national identity as a normative process of making a distinction between us and Others occurs in societal texts, such as the media.

Crime writer, teacher. Dagmar Maria Lange became famous – using the pseudonym of Maria Lang – as the first queen of the Swedish detective novel. She is best known for her 1950s whodunnits involving Puck Bure and detective inspector Christer Wijk. Dagmar Lange grew up in Nora, in Bergslagen. She was the daughter of Elsa Keijser and Clas Lange, a journalist and the publisher of Bergslagens tidning . Following her father’s early demise in 1917 Dagmar Lange’s mother married the travelling salesman Carl Ivar Olson. They had two daughters together, Ingrid and Siv. Having completed high school in Västerås, Dagmar Lange continued her education, first in Uppsala and then Stockholm, where she defended her literary thesis on Pontus Wikner in 1946. She generated a certain controversy by revealing Wikner’s homosexuality in her thesis and this led to a delay in publishing her work. After gaining her doctorate Dagmar Lange spent many years working as a teacher, a director of studies and eventually as principal of Nya elementarskolan (primary school) in Stockholm. She was very well-liked by her students. She would spend her summers in Nora, where she would often sit and write her detective novels.

  • Digital Journalism: Making News, Breaking News
    MAPPING DIGITAL MEDIA: GLOBAL FINDINGS DIGITAL JOURNALISM: MAKING NEWS, BREAKING NEWS Mapping Digital Media is a project of the Open Society Program on Independent Journalism and the Open Society Information Program Th e project assesses the global opportunities and risks that are created for media by the switch- over from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting; the growth of new media platforms as sources of news; and the convergence of traditional broadcasting with telecommunications. Th ese changes redefi ne the ways that media can operate sustainably while staying true to values of pluralism and diversity, transparency and accountability, editorial independence, freedom of expression and information, public service, and high professional standards. Th e project, which examines the changes in-depth, builds bridges between researchers and policymakers, activists, academics and standard-setters. It also builds policy capacity in countries where this is less developed, encouraging stakeholders to participate in and infl uence change. At the same time, this research creates a knowledge base, laying foundations for advocacy work, building capacity and enhancing debate. Covering 56 countries, the project examines how these changes aff ect the core democratic service that any media system should provide—news about political, economic and social aff airs. Th e MDM Country Reports are produced by local researchers and partner organizations in each country. Cumulatively, these reports provide a unique resource on the democratic role of digital media. In addition to the country reports, research papers on a range of topics related to digital media have been published as the MDM Reference Series.
