Projekt

  • Kb Mosaik: A Journalistically Driven Integration and Democracy Project – Read more

    The dominant news source in Kristianstad – Kristianstadsbladet – determined that the city was growing but a considerable portion of the new residents lack the conditions to follow and learn about the society as consumers of Kristianstadsbladet. This made it difficult for the newspaper to play a role in local democracy. 

  • Media citizens not exposed to traditional news media

    In recent decades, research has indicated that more media users rarely or never take part of social journalism. A trend that can have an impact on community participation and on the media as a pillar of democracy. In the project "Media citizens not exposed to traditional news media", Ulrika Andersson, media researcher at the University of Gothenburg and research adviser in Media & democracy, deepens the knowledge of how rare users aged 20-35 are exposed to social journalism. The fact that 20-35 year olds are in the eye is because that group in previous studies has proven to be most likely for low exposure to media.

    How does the rapidly changing media landscape's affect local and regional elections?
