AfroMedia Network is an international research network dedicated to media and communication studies in African contexts and across the African diaspora. Inaugurated in 2022, the network brings together scholars interested in journalism, digital media, communication research, and media systems connected to Africa.
How could individuals with cognitive disabilities engage with media not only as tools for support, but also as content to be understood, interpreted, and critically reflected upon? To date, research has largely focused on how digital technologies can assist in everyday life. Ulrica Brolinson’s PhD project seeks to shift this perspective by foregrounding citizenship.
Academic life can be rewarding, yet isolating and lacking sufficient structured mentorship. Nordic Nerds was created in response to this gap and is now welcoming applications for its 2026 cohort.
Although research on the manosphere has grown significantly, it continues to be predominantly shaped by Anglo-American perspectives. Within the Nordic countries, scholarship in the field remains dispersed and relatively underdeveloped. The Nordic Manosphere Network seeks to foster greater coordination among researchers in the region and invites contributions to its inaugural symposium in September 2026.
The first four articles from this year’s issue of Nordic Journal of Media Studies are now available. Instead of publishing a complete issue at once, the journal is releasing articles on a rolling basis throughout the spring, all centered on the theme “Media and the Past: Mediating the Past.”
Miriana Cascone’s PhD dissertation, “Detain(ed): Media Technologies and Migrants in Swedish Detention Centers”, is highly timely. In the winter of 2026, deportations have become public spectacles in the US, while pressure to expel non-citizens is rising across Europe. The EU’s Migration Pact, due in June 2026, will expand deportations to so-called safe third countries. “Detain(ed)” examines this political moment through Sweden – once seen as among Europe’s most welcoming countries – writes Karina Horsti.
The latest issue of Nordicom Review brings together two new studies on environmental journalism, theorising how sustainability can be framed in journalism, alongside research tracing how the language of climate coverage has evolved in Danish media over time.
How do citizens in Scandinavia stay informed about politics and society? A fresh report examines the political information landscape in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden and finds a hybrid media environment in which traditional news outlets, public service media, and social platforms all play a role – though traditional news sources remain central.
