    Project manager Eva Mayerhöffer and research assistant Leif Pedersen have gone to the NordMedia conference in Bergen to present an interview study on news editors' understanding of and attitude towards the rise of alternative media in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

    Thus, they participate in a research panel on 17 August entitled Alternative media in the Nordic Media Welfare State, which AlterPublics has also helped organize.

    The interview study, which Eva Mayerhöffer and Leif Pedersen present under the heading Boundary-work in the Nordic media model: A comparative analysis of institutional responses to alternative media in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, is carried out in collaboration with Karoline Andrea Ihleæk and Tine Ustad Figenschou from OsloMet.

    Karoline Andrea Ihleæk and Tine Ustad Figenschou are also responsible for another presentation in the panel, which also offers presentations from Salla Tuomola from the University of Helsinki and Miriam Brems from Aarhus University.
