In a new study, researchers examine how close, or far apart, media and political power are from each other in four different countries. The complex relationship between media and politics has consequences with regard to shaping the public image of politics and individual politicians.
The Nordic community in focus
The new issue of the journal Nordicom Information deals with the Nordic community, with a focus on communication and language. Nordic cooperation has a long history and, according to many, the Nordic affinity is needed more than ever in today’s world. However, at the same time, the Nordic model is losing some of the characteristics it once had: English is now more commonly used, the role of public service is decreasing, and there is less political consensus on the Nordic values.
