The new issue of the journal Nordicom Information deals with the Nordic community, with a focus on communication and language. Nordic cooperation has a long history and, according to many, the Nordic affinity is needed more than ever in today’s world. However, at the same time, the Nordic model is losing some of the characteristics it once had: English is now more commonly used, the role of public service is decreasing, and there is less political consensus on the Nordic values.
Nordicom and the Nordic Council of Ministers arranged an expert meeting on the future of quality journalism in the Nordic region. Watch the full live stream here.
A new Nordicom Review article is published (online first), titled Asylum Seekers Arrived, Elites Occupied the Air: Topics and Interviewees in YLE’s Magazine Programmes During the “Asylum Seeker Crisis". We spoke to the authors Annu Perälä and Mari K. Niemi.
