Across the Nordic region, the NordMedia conferences serve as a central meeting place for scholars in media and communication studies – a forum for presenting research, exchanging ideas, and building networks. Yet there is another arena that merits equal attention: the annual meetings of the national research associations. Read on to find out how these gatherings complement the NordMedia conferences, contribute to researchers’ professional development, and prove especially valuable for early-career scholars.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the media landscape, but what place should it have in journalism education? A new study by Maarit Jaakkola and Jenny Wiik provides the first comprehensive overview of how Nordic journalism educators are approaching the matter, and how prepared they feel to teach AI.
At NordMedia25, Nordicom arranged a panel bringing together scientists and practitioners with broad experience in research communication, policy engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Among the topics discussed were how social scientists can contribute to society and what expectations society places on scholars. What barriers do social scientists face when collaborating and trying to share their findings with broader audiences, and what may a “more livable future” look like for research collaboration and communication?
The NordMedia conference hit new heights in 2025, breaking records for both attendance and research contributions. A total of 462 participants signed up and 413 research papers were presented – making it the biggest NordMedia gathering in the conference’s 50-year history, and proving that interest in the field is only growing.
Deadlines in the holidays, parental duties, papers piling up – how much is enough? Doctoral researchers at the Nordmedia2025 pre-conference discussed the realities of academic life while presenting their own work. As described by the participants, the pre-conference is experienced as a safe environment to train academic skills in an international setting.
NordMedia Network is regularly organizing virtual events such as webinars and online discussion events that provide us with good possibilities to learn from each other. All webinars will be available online as recordings to be watched afterwards. Welcome to follow our online learning events!
