Researchers at Södertörn University have published a comprehensive overview of international research on public service media, alongside a searchable research database hosted by the Knowledge Center for Public Service Media (K-pub).
A new Nordicom report brings together fragmented knowledge on the role of journalism and news media in the Nordic countries, offering a rare comparative overview at a time when global platforms increasingly shape national media systems.
Thirty years after the Beijing Platform for Action, the Nordic summit “Who Makes the News?” revisits gender equality in news media, drawing on GMMP 2025 data to examine progress, stagnation, and the media’s responsibility for more inclusive representation.
Tools built on large language models often use many words to say very little. We should be concerned that what truly means something risks being lost in a cloud of AI-generated filler, argues Professor Marija Slavkovik from the University of Bergen, Norway.
Building on strong interest from early-career researchers across the Nordic region, Nordicom will once again offer its workshop on academic publishing for doctoral students. The workshop will take place on 26–27 August at Nordicom’s premises in Gothenburg. The number of places is limited, and applications close on 29 May.
Progress toward gender equality in the leadership of Nordic media companies has largely stalled, according to a new mapping by Nordicom. While many company boards have achieved gender balance, this progress has yet to reach executive leadership.
The European Media Ownership Monitor (EurOMo) 2025 offers a new, EU-wide overview of ownership and control in the news media sector. In Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, the mapping points to relatively high transparency compared with the EU average, while also highlighting concentrated ownership structures and emerging structural risks.
At the turn of the year, Nora Theorin took up her new position as a researcher at Nordicom. She joins from the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at the University of Gothenburg, where she completed her PhD and conducted a postdoctoral research project on media effects across different European countries. At Nordicom, Theorin will work with the Media Barometer and serve as an editor of Nordicom Review.
