The contributors are from a range of countries,  most of them with a Muslim majority population.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We asked professor Elisabeth Eide a few questions about the new book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-599f3c4b-c089-44c9-8341-8a96ac4b4c53\">Why is this book important?<\/h3><style>#block-599f3c4b-c089-44c9-8341-8a96ac4b4c53 h2, #block-599f3c4b-c089-44c9-8341-8a96ac4b4c53 h3, #block-599f3c4b-c089-44c9-8341-8a96ac4b4c53 h4, #block-599f3c4b-c089-44c9-8341-8a96ac4b4c53 h5 , #block-599f3c4b-c089-44c9-8341-8a96ac4b4c53 { color: #000; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 It brings together journalists and researchers, some of the latter with a journalist background, and thus may contribute to building bridges between media academics and society. Also, due to the current focus on Islam in Europe and other &#8220;Western&#8221; countries, this volume brings more understanding of what we in the &#8220;media world&#8221; all share across imagined and real boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-1b9b11d1-23d1-4e88-b360-4184ae74cf4d\">How would you describe the relationship between extremists and the media?<\/h3><style>#block-1b9b11d1-23d1-4e88-b360-4184ae74cf4d h2, #block-1b9b11d1-23d1-4e88-b360-4184ae74cf4d h3, #block-1b9b11d1-23d1-4e88-b360-4184ae74cf4d h4, #block-1b9b11d1-23d1-4e88-b360-4184ae74cf4d h5 , #block-1b9b11d1-23d1-4e88-b360-4184ae74cf4d { color: #000; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 First, many have clearly underestimated their skills when it comes to using social media for recruitment. Second, journalists face dilemmas when reporting on extremist attacks and their organizations in general, which is amply demonstrated in some chapters, and which is also part of the freedom of expression dilemmas. Third, both researchers and journalists need to delve deeper into the roots of (media) extremism and its appeal, especially to young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-d6ff66b4-f853-48c4-bc2f-96291af33888\">What are the new challenges to freedom of expression?<\/h3><style>#block-d6ff66b4-f853-48c4-bc2f-96291af33888 h2, #block-d6ff66b4-f853-48c4-bc2f-96291af33888 h3, #block-d6ff66b4-f853-48c4-bc2f-96291af33888 h4, #block-d6ff66b4-f853-48c4-bc2f-96291af33888 h5 , #block-d6ff66b4-f853-48c4-bc2f-96291af33888 { color: #000; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Some of them have to do with what I mentioned above, giving extremists &#8211; be they extreme Islamists or right-wing &#8211; attention and voice or not. We also see how governments use the existence and activities of extremists to curb peaceful opposition. Debates on what should be labelled \u2018blasphemy\u2019 and the function of blasphemy laws are also challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-bb42e07c-5de1-440a-8d36-af0d52190d62\">Is there anything else you would like to say about the book?<\/h3><style>#block-bb42e07c-5de1-440a-8d36-af0d52190d62 h2, #block-bb42e07c-5de1-440a-8d36-af0d52190d62 h3, #block-bb42e07c-5de1-440a-8d36-af0d52190d62 h4, #block-bb42e07c-5de1-440a-8d36-af0d52190d62 h5 , #block-bb42e07c-5de1-440a-8d36-af0d52190d62 { color: #000; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The book is part of a larger endeavour. The Journalism and Media International Center (JMIC) has for the past years been involved in connecting people for conferences and workshops on vital issues such as how we cover each other, how we think of religion\u2019s role in society, and not least freedom of expression and the rise of extremism. It is our hope that it can contribute to more widespread debates around these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordmedianetwork.org\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1931\" width=\"878\" height=\"659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordmedianetwork.org\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image.png 592w, https:\/\/nordmedianetwork.org\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Elisabeth Eide outside the Centre des \u00c9tudes Arabes in Paris, a few weeks after the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo 2015.<br>&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uni.oslomet.no\/jmic\/\">For more information visit The Journalism and Media International Center (JMIC).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordicom.gu.se\/sv\/publikationer\/transnational-othering-global-diversities\">Transnational Othering \u2013 Global Diversities, Media, Extremism and Free Expression is available to download as Open Access on Nordicom\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new anthology addresses issues such as the rise of extremism and terrorism, conflicts concerning diversity and minority rights, as well as the situation for freedom of expression.","protected":false},"featured_media":1937,"template":"","categories":[21],"class_list":["post-1930","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categories-new-publications"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
