Now it is open: the new national centre for research and innovation within artificial intelligence – AI Innovation of Sweden. Lindholmen Science Park is serving as the host and Medier & demokrati is planning an initial AI seminar together with the media during the spring.

Constructive, informative and playful journalism - success factors for reach 25-35-year-olds. The experimental Beta Borås project revealed this. Read the final report on the unique test editorial staff's local social journalism and the focus group's reactions.

The media landscape is undergoing a radical change of historic proportions. A question is if and how local election campaigns are affected. Mid Sweden University, Södertörn University and Medier & Demokrati are looking for answers in an exciting research project – and the first results will be presented at the Ander Journalism Seminar at Karlstad University. One of the researchers was Sanna Volny.

The Medier & Demokrati project Beta Borås drew a packed house at the year's NxtMedia Conference in Trondheim. The main topic of the conference was local media's role in society, how the fake-news discussion increases the demand for reliable journalism and how AI and automation are gaining importance.

After 13 exciting years at Lindholmen Science Park, it is now time for Niklas Wahlberg to leave his post as CEO and take on new challenges in the Volvo Group. “What I’ve been part of for all these years has been fantastic,” Niklas says.
