Intersectional Analysis of Media Representation of Immigrants in Norway: The Case of 'The Local (Norway Edition)' Online Newspaper

Kibrom Berhane Gessesse

The study is intersectional analysis of media representation of immigrants in Norway. It is conducted based on stories reported by the online newspaper named The Local (Norway edition). To investigate the issue, the study employed content analysis of two news articles and a (“how-to”) feature article. The articles are selected purposively in terms of their contents and time of publication. Finally the study found out that in writing about immigrants (and their issues) the selected online newspaper employs intersection of representation mechanisms. It dominantly uses different classificatory terms, polemic representation, thematic anchoring and representations in antinomies.

Artificial Intelligence and 5G Will Force Journalism Schools to Accentuate the Basics in Instruction

Benjamin Davis

This reflection considers the need for journalism schools to more intensely teach skills that cannot be replicated by AI or 5G. Critical thinking and writing are examples of Non-curation skills and they may need to be taught more because they cannot be mimicked by AI. Curation skills involve borrowing from other sources, which include human and digital platforms. It might be prudent to teach curation skills as a tool that is meant to strictly support non-curation journalism skills - which are commanded only by a human. The most secure journalism jobs will be those which cannot be replicated by AI.
