The main focus on research of the Chair of Journalism is the International Journalism Research. It includes the following areas of research:
Current research project:
Media Climate (since 2008): This, by the Universities of Oslo and Bergen / Norway and Tampere / Finland led and financially centrally-funded long-term project with around 30 international scientific partner institutions deals with communication scientific climate research and examines, inter alia, quantitatively and qualitatively, comparatively and transnationally, how media report on five continents about the so-called climate change or global warming (e. g. on the basis of UN climate summits and IPCC AR). The financial resources are centrally managed in Norway and Finland.
Future Media CoLab brings together academics and practitioners working at the crossroads of digital media, sciences and technologies. Our mission is to explore the rapidly evolving technologies and platforms that are transforming human communication, promoting transdisciplinary research that connects artistic, scientific, and technological approaches for creating new possibilities for contemporary and future media.
At the Future Media CoLab we examine and discuss the means by which emergent media technologies impact people, cultures, politics, economics, and the environment through collaborative research projects. With a strong focus on immersive media (virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality) and its related technologies, our collaboratory is a center without walls, serving as a prototyping studio, a research group, and an active participant in the evolving relationship between humans and emergent media.
