Ambivalent og historieløst? Norske avisers dekning av norsk militært nærvær i Syria og Irak
Denne artikkelen beskriver hvordan de fem norske avisene VG, Aftenposten, Klassekampen, Dagsavisen og Dagbladet dekket forespørselen fra USA om deltagelse i krigen mot IS i Syria i 2015, sammenlignet med dekningen av beslutningen om å sende norske soldater for å trene irakiske styrker i krigen mot IS i Irak i 2014. Tidspunktet for analysen er 15. september – 30. november 2014 (Irak) og 8. desember 2015 – 22. januar 2016 (Syria). Metoden er kvanti…
The Routledge Companion To Media and Humanitarian Action
This chapter examines how key communicators understand and evaluate opportunities and challenges of using social media in risk and crisis situations. We have conducted semi-structured interviews with several risk and crisis communicators with different tasks and functions. Interviewees range from crisis information managers and communicators supporting first responders, to journalists and journalist advisors. Interviewees give their views on opti…
Journalism under pressure in conflict zones
Through interviews with 100 journalists and editors in seven countries, the authors examine safety as the main challenge for journalists covering war and conflict in both local and international contexts. The article places a particular focus on the situation for Filipino and Norwegian journalists. The underreporting of legal aspects of international conflict, combined with less security, means less presence and more journalistic coverage based o…
Peace journalism
The peace journalism (PJ) field now has an appreciable amount of published material to show for its first decade of serious operation, in research, teaching and training alike. It amounts to a serious project to reform professional education programmes in journalism. But so far, the proposed remedies are more individual projects than coordinated and organized reforms; they are scattered geographically and do not have a global scope. This article …

Wikileaks
This article discusses the ethical dilemmas involved in using WikiLeaks as a source for critical reporting. On one hand, WikiLeaks has provided news organisations with useful material for their reports, but the ethical dilemmas arising from publishing this material with—in many cases—unknown sources, remains a problem. Using framing analyses inspired by the work of Robert Entman, the stories about Afghanistan published after the leaks in the Norw…
The war in Afghanistan and peace journalism in practice
This article argues that Johan Galtung’s theory on peace journalism can serve as a fruitful supplement to theory-building in the field of war and peace journalism, and critically reviews the scholarly debate on peace journalism. By using examples from Norwegian media coverage of the war in Afghanistan and examples of research on the Norwegian media coverage of the war, the author argues that Galtung’s theory on peace journalism can also serve as …
The Nordic Journalists of Tomorrow
The present article summarizes the findings of a survey among first-year journalism students in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway. The survey covers a wide array of subjects including social recruitment, motivation for studying journalism, preferences regarding future journalistic working life, views on the role of journalism in society, attitudes toward the profession, journalistic ideals and ideas about what are the most important traits for …
The Military-Industrial Complex Revisited
Mediebildet av krigføringen i Afghanistan
Journalists in the Making
This article examines Norwegian journalism students’ views about their profession and education at different phases in their career and also outlines the social background of the new generation of journalists. The article presents key findings from several surveys of students conducted at the two most popular and prestigious journalism schools in Norway between 2000 and 2004. The main aim is to investigate any development in attitudes to differen…
The Norwegian Media Image of the War in Afghanistan
This article analyzes the framing of Norwegian media coverage of the war against terror in Afghanistan with special emphasis of the coverage of the Norwegian military presence in Afghanistan. Two main issues are discussed: 1. How was the start of the war covered in the media in October 2001? 2. In what context was the Norwegian military presence covered? The two newspapers analyzed are Aftenposten and VG. The choice of these two newspapers was ma…
From the Persian Gulf to Kosovo — War Journalism and Propaganda
The article reports findings from a pilot study of the discourse on Kosovo in four leading dailies from four countries: Greece, Norway, Sweden and the UK. A combined discourse and propaganda analysis approach is applied to the first three days' coverage of the NATO bombing campaign, with the aim of studying how the various national/local contexts influenced the media discourse's relationship to the propaganda discourse in the conflict. This probl…

Enemy Images and the Journalistic Process
This article discusses changes in enemy image in the three Norwegian daily newspapers through a comparative analysis of the coverage of four international conflicts: the Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, martial law in Poland in 1981 and martial law in Romania in 1989. Content analysis of a sample of 915 articles shows how Norway's traditional `enemy', the Soviet Union, ceases to be an enemy during this ten-yea…
Science journalism' without science journalists
This article discusses recent developments of the relationship between scientists and journalists in Norway, a country without a tradition of science journalism. A general professional upgrading among journalists is now accompanied by a growing interest in science coverage. Paradoxically, this coverage is already extensive, though as yet not of high quality. For a proper understanding of the traditions as well as new tendencies within science cov…
