WHO WE ARE
Center for Global Journalism and Communication is an international collaboration based on individual memberships, with a administrative staff currently located at Agder University and NLA University College -- School of Journalism, in Southern Norway. Current center chair is oddgeir.tveiten@uia.no. Co-chair is abit.hoxha@uia.no.
WHAT WE ARE
Our aim is to foster a high-level international community of research and professional peers, to conduct innovative journalism research and education innovation for the benefit of the community and members' home institutions. Emphasis will be on on matters of globalization and digital transformation.
WHY
Since the coming of Web 2.0 and the 'social media' we commonly think of as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, SnapChat, TikTok and more, we have seen an increasing fragmentation of reasoned debate in the public sphere. Journalism seeks to define its place and purpose in this environment, but journalism across the world is not a uniform nor a consensus-based idea. What we perceive is a need to foster a research-driven dialog on the future role of journalism, in which we also engage in a critical examination of our models of society, models of journalism and models of normative thinking about the media and democracy.
