  In the wake of the 2018 liberalization of journalistic freedoms in Ethiopia, new waves of political unrest and a re-tightened grip on the media have emerged. A key feature in this context is the increasing reference to ethnic contrasts reflecting regional differences. While Ethiopia is a unique country in the African context in the sense of never having been colonized (with the exception of a brief period of Italian occupation), features of the contemporary media situation are also of general validity in understanding political realities in other African countries. This paper explores the concept of ‘journalism paradigms’ in that regard, with the follow-up question of how an understanding of journalism paradigms founded on ethnic boundaries might also contribute toward a more distinctly ‘African’ journalism research framework.

  Ved universiteter og høgskoler tar ledelsen og støtte- og utviklingsmiljøer ulike grep for å motivere fagansatte til å utforske digitale teknologiers pedagogiske potensialer. De ønsker også å utvikle mer aktive og fleksible undervisningspraksiser enn de som tradisjonelt har preget sektoren. I denne studien har vi undersøkt bruk av videofortellinger som redskap for å fremme fagansattes refleksjon over egen utdanningspraksis. Observasjon av diskusjoner mellom 13 undervisere fra ulike studieprogram og fag, er analysert i artikkelen. Diskusjonene som er studiens analyseobjekt, foregikk på et kurs i UH-pedagogikk (vår 2016). Før kurset så informantene to videofortellinger om omvendt undervisning. Studien viser at videofortellingene og spørsmålene som er knyttet til, fungerer som redskap for refleksjon i tverrfaglige kontekster. Selv om akademiske og fagspesifikke tradisjoner i en del tilfeller hemmer refleksjon over ny praksis, bidrar et tverrfaglig miljø til å fremme refleksjon.

  Innovation Journalism may be understood as a reorientation of basic assumptions underlying the study, practice, research and education in journalism. The concept of Innovation Journalism denotes an idea of a ´beat´or a ´category´, but underlying the Stanford University variant of Innovation Journalism is a more comprehensive understanding ´a communication ecology´ where ´innovation´ seems to be taken for granted as something good for societal development, organizational development, and business development. Reflecting the profoundly cultural meaning of innovation as an idea, a key question is whether social innovation and business innovation can be understood as two pieces of the same stick, or not? One might understand the term ´ecology´ to denote harmony and balance ? or society seeking it. Journalism, on the other hand, was born and bred with a focus on conflict and conflict narrative within a framework of democratic publicism. Hence, one aspect of theorizing Innovation Journalism is to clarify its applied understandings of innovation as a content theme in the news. Another is to clarify innovation as a term relating to the role of journalism in societal changes more macroscopically. A middle ground is to critique the notion of innovation as a guideline to the challenges now facing journalism and its narrative forms.

  In 2001, a peace foundation was set up in Southern Norway, where a regional WW II Gestapo headquarters became a non-profit venue with a vision of becoming a nationally recognized peace education center. The first two years saw regular threats of bankruptcy and little recognition. Then, the vision took hold ¿ Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa came to visit twice, and a joint venture agreement was signed with the UNESCO-listed Robben Island Heritage Museum in Cape Town. Several other alliances were forged. But what was it about this vision that suddenly caught the attention of individuals and organizations engaged in peace work? Can we learn something from the history of the center about peace education as a kind of narrative strategy?

  In 2002, as part of its urban policy, the city of Kristiansand set up a giant foundation, for the purpose of soliciting projects, talents and strategies for growth in the citys cultural economy. There was conflict over core values in the promotion of culture and heritage, and discussion on the transformation of power and democracy. The article assesses the challenges facing the foundation Cultiva, including institutional ramifications related to régimes of public planning and governance. Cultiva introduces new discourses of culture in urban development, with impacts on both the outside perception of the city and the everyday culture among the inhabitants of Kristiansand.

  In 2001, a non-profit foundation was set up in the municipality of Kristiansand in Southern Norway, where an old Nazi headquarter from WW2 was recast as a resource center for peace education. Within two years, the methods and processes applied at this center had gathered attention from such places as Robben Island Heritage Museum in South Africa (Robben Island is on the UNESCO World Heritage List), and quite a few others. Partnership projects were formed on this basis. Accordingly, the first question asked in this paper is: Why? How does one explain this interest in this small heritage site in southern Norway? Truth Commissions and various approaches to collective dealing with trauma and historically sensitive taboos are being discussed internationally. As an aspect of civil society communication, such experiences as these might be perceived as a form of political and cultural participation. On the other hand, they also represent a method of relating historical experience to contemporary conflict situations for students, tourists, and other visitors who stop to reflect on such local sites of remembrance. It would seem particularly relevant for studies in participatory communication to study the kinds of storytelling that emanate from places like these. And it would be very much in line with UNESCO?s work on cultural heritage. One might add: The local case in Norway is but part of a global phenomenon, and it is perhaps the phenomenon applied historical narrative, as such, that calls for research attention. Based on experience from several years as a hired researcher in planning and building the R&D section of Stiftelsen Arkivet in Kristiansand, Norway, the position taken in this paper is that of a communications scholar seeking new means and methodologies for doing participatory communication fieldwork. The paper first outlines the history of this local institution in Norway. From there, it proceeds to present empirical material gathered from qualitative interviews with visitors. -----

  In 2001, a peace foundation was set up in the city of Kristiansand, Southern Norway. The occasion was the selling of a house that had functioned as regional Gestapo Headquarters during World War 2. Lo-cally known 1940-1945 as the ?House of terror?, it had for many post-war years served as locale for the regional division of the Norwegian National Archives. As the government archival institution moved to new venues, local politicians, academics and business veterans applied to the Norwegian government for a free transfer of the property to a newly registered non-profit organization. Within 12 months, the doors were opened to the public. Authentic artifacts from the war years had been returned and staged in the museum, by retired and non-paid contributors. The whole building had been renovated. What opened in 2001 was a largely volunteer-run, war museum and peace documentation center with a vision that sometime in the future it could turn into a nationally recognized peace education center. For two years, the foundation suffered regular threats of bankruptcy and little recognition. Then, the vision took hold ? Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa came to visit twice, a joint venture agreement with UNESCO-listed Robben Island Heritage Museum in Cape Town was signed. Several other alliances were forged, and a multimedia project gained national tenure for a simple reason: New media technolo-gies were brought to bear on the challenge of telling History through a multimedia lens. This article asks what it was about this vision that somehow seemed to trigger individuals and organiza-tions engaged in peace work? And can we learn something in the way of peace education as a kind of narrative strategy?

• Tveiten, Oddgeir (2007). Teaching global journalism: Assessing the relevance of globalization theory to practical journalism training. Vis sammendrag

  Journalism theories and training has had an implicit reference to the concepts of the international and the global ever since Harold Lasswell published his ideas on propaganda and Walter Lippmann his ideas on public opinion during the 1920?s and 1930?s. Contemporary research on media theory also indicates that journalism training at the same time has had an implicit reference to the national framework of communication, however. Only recently have teaching curricula in journalism studies truly begun to reorient themselves towards a more clearly expressed global communication framework, with an ensuing need for revisits and reviews of theories and teaching practices. A question, then, is whether time is ripe for a review of classical theories and approaches to the study and teaching of journalism, with respect to the dialectics of international and national perspectives in course curricula over that time-span which IAMCR is now commemorating?. This paper presents a discussion of the classics and canons of journalism research in what has often been called the ?dominant paradigm?, assessing how contemporary education in global journalism might benefit from a re-reading of such scholars as Walter Lippmann, Robert E. Parks, John Dewey and C.Wright Mills. The paper will argue that this return to the classics might serve to bridge a quite enormous gap between the practical concerns of journalism teaching and the application of research perspectives on globalization. It will also argue that such an approach might have promise for the challenges facing UNESCO as an arena for the debate on communication and educational policy in the field of journalism. The empirical basis for the paper is two-fold: 1) A Norwegian book on international communication and news analysis, from 2006 and: 2) A Norwegian scholar and journalist?s experience in teaching global journalism in several courses in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, during 2006. ---
