Becoming a journalist : journalism education in the Nordic countries

Journalism education came to most of the Nordic countries in the 1960s. It was introduced within media systems, known as “the Nordic model”. Since then, journalism education has developed in close cooperation between universities and institutes across the Nordic countries. This anthology gives a broad picture of Nordic journalism education. In the 19 chapters of this book, researchers and educators write about this development and how challenges in contemporary journalism are met in courses and through teaching. Using a variety of data and methodological approaches, ranging from large cross-national surveys to qualitative interviews with students, teachers and professionals, this anthology provides a broad picture of Nordic journalism education.
