Forskarseminarium om journalistikens framväxande landskap och alternativa mediers betydande inverkan i distinkta sammanhang. Det andra seminariet i Nordjours serie för forskare som är intresserade av journalistik.
Seminariet hålls på engelska.
Professor Cushion's research delves into the rise of alternative media and their evolving content strategies. He addresses why individuals increasingly turn to alternative sources for news and information, emphasizing the differences in agenda between left-wing and right-wing alternative media. His comprehensive research, involving thousands of articles, social media posts, and extensive interviews, presents compelling insights into the role of alternative media in shaping public discourse.
Do alternative media play a particular role in Nordic media systems? How and why do alternative media landscapes differ between the Nordic countries? And how can be best identify and study Nordic alternative media outlets, content, and users? To address these and other questions, the talk will build on different recent research findings on the content, dissemination, use and meta-journalistic discourse of/on alternative media in different Nordic countries and present a mapping of alternative news sharing networks and curation practices in Sweden and Denmark. The talk will argue that the phenomenon 'alternative media' also in the Nordic countries fundamentally changes how we need to understand - and research - news production, diffusion, consumption, and regulation.
