Course details
GJ 311¿1: Nordic media structures and journalistic practice
The first section of the course provides an historical and contemporary overview of Nordic media and journalism in the Nordic countries, including recent developments on the digital media scene. The section discusses to what extent the democratic corporatist model fits the current Nordic media situation, and acquaints students with the differences that exist between the various national media systems/structures in the countries concerned.
GJ 311¿2: Public service media
This section of the course discusses developments in the public service media from a Nordic perspective. A key concern emanating from the research literature is the prospect of a public service media philosophy in an era dominated by online technology and marked by audience fragmentation. With the Nordic countries serving as a departure point for the theory of public service media this part of the course also seeks to demonstrate how public service media are subject to diverse interpretations in different national and cultural contexts. Examples of public service journalism in other parts of the world will be discussed.
GJ 311¿3: Nordic media events in global perspective
The third section of the course takes a ¿case study¿ approach by treating stories which originated in the Nordic media with subsequent international attention. The purpose of the study is to examine global news exchange mechanisms where a story travels across national and cultural boundaries, receiving different treatment in different media societies.

Compulsory components
Lectures in GJ 311 are not compulsory, but students are encouraged to be present in order to create a conducive learning environment. The written exam and the assignment are compulsory.
The assessment of GJ 311 comprises two parts:
- A 4000 word written assignment/paper studying a focused aspect of the Nordic media (51 % of the final grade)
- A 4 hour written exam (49 % of the final grade)
1. Written assignment: All
2. Written exam: None
Course details
GJ 311¿1: Nordic media structures and journalistic practice
The first section of the course provides an historical and contemporary overview of Nordic media and journalism in the Nordic countries, including recent developments on the digital media scene. The section discusses to what extent the democratic corporatist model fits the current Nordic media situation, and acquaints students with the differences that exist between the various national media systems/structures in the countries concerned.
GJ 311¿2: Public service media
This section of the course discusses developments in the public service media from a Nordic perspective. A key concern emanating from the research literature is the prospect of a public service media philosophy in an era dominated by online technology and marked by audience fragmentation. With the Nordic countries serving as a departure point for the theory of public service media this part of the course also seeks to demonstrate how public service media are subject to diverse interpretations in different national and cultural contexts. Examples of public service journalism in other parts of the world will be discussed.
GJ 311¿3: Nordic media events in global perspective
The third section of the course takes a ¿case study¿ approach by treating stories which originated in the Nordic media with subsequent international attention. The purpose of the study is to examine global news exchange mechanisms where a story travels across national and cultural boundaries, receiving different treatment in different media societies.

The section discusses to what extent the democratic corporatist model fits the current Nordic media situation, and acquaints students with the differences that exist between the various national media systems/structures in the countries concerned.

a) Nordic translations of public service journalism
This section of the course discusses developments in the public service media from a Nordic perspective. A key concern emanating from the research literature is the prospect of a public service media philosophy in an era dominated by online technology and marked by audience fragmentation.
b) Global links
With the Nordic countries serving as a departure point for the theory of public service media (part a), this second part seeks to demonstrate how public service media are subject to diverse interpretations in different national and cultural contexts. This part of the course provides examples of public service media practices in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
GJ 311¿3: Nordic media events in global perspective
The third section of the course takes a ¿case study¿ approach by treating a story which originates in the Nordic media with subsequent international attention. The purpose of the study is to examine global news exchange mechanisms where a story travels across national and cultural boundaries, receiving different treatment in different media societies. Currently the chosen story is the ¿Mohammed cartoons¿ (2005/06), but the case may change at a later stage.

Course details
GJ 311¿1: Nordic media structures and journalistic practice
The first section of the course provides an historical and contemporary overview of Nordic media and journalism in the Nordic countries, including recent developments on the digital media scene. The section discusses to what extent the democratic corporatist model fits the current Nordic media situation, and acquaints students with the differences that exist between the various national media systems/structures in the countries concerned.
GJ 311¿2: Public service media
a) Nordic translations of public service journalism
This section of the course discusses developments in the public service media from a Nordic perspective. A key concern emanating from the research literature is the prospect of a public service media philosophy in an era dominated by online technology and marked by audience fragmentation.
b) Global links
With the Nordic countries serving as a departure point for the theory of public service media (part a), this second part seeks to demonstrate how public service media are subject to diverse interpretations in different national and cultural contexts. This part of the course provides examples of public service media practices in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
GJ 311¿3: Nordic media events in global perspective
The third section of the course takes a ¿case study¿ approach by treating a story which originates in the Nordic media with subsequent international attention. The purpose of the study is to examine global news exchange mechanisms where a story travels across national and cultural boundaries, receiving different treatment in different media societies. Currently the chosen story is the ¿Mohammed cartoons¿ (2005/06), but the case may change at a later stage.
