  The Fovse protests took place in Oslo in 2023 and were fronted by young Sámi activists protesting the inaction of the Norwegian government to follow up on a Supreme Court verdict from 2021 that had ruled that the building of wind power plants in reindeer herding pastures conflicted with the human rights of the Sámi. This study shows how the protesters used strategic communication tools and how the actions were reported by the Sámi divisions of the public broadcasters in Norway, NRK, and Finland, Yle. The media coverage is analyzed by a close and systematized reading and categorizing of the news reports and comments of the protests. The analysis shows that the Sámi activists employed traditional strategic communication tools, e.g. demonstrations, occupation, celebrity endorsement, networking and alliance formation, to organize the protests, attract attention and media coverage to put pressure on the Norwegian government to accept and enact the Supreme Court ruling. In this respect, the Fovse protests also challenged the idea of the Nordic model as being inclusive, egalitarian, and just, as the protests were rooted in the Norwegian government’s disregard and neglect of Sámi human rights.

  Abstract Government pandemic narratives can be powerful rhetorical tools that influence health beliefs and behaviours and trust in health and government authorities. Pandemic narratives communicated by government leaders are highly political events which audiences may receive alongside other competing narratives that proliferate across multiple media platforms. During COVID-19, government messaging around the world occurred through press conferences as intensively mediatised and performative ritualised events that were broadcast on television, radio, news sites, and social media platforms. These staged events offer audiences key messages about how governments are responding to the public health crisis, along with narratives that present a range of actors and protagonists who articulate problems, their causes, and prescribed solutions. The narratives constructed in these press conferences may also fail to consider under-represented and marginalised groups whose health safety is ‘traded off’ for more appealing narratives about returning to freedom and ‘normal life’ in which COVID lingers as a minimised risk. This analysis of government leaders’ press conference pays particular attention to the ‘living with COVID’ narratives that occurred in government press conferences during the year 2021, offering comparative insights from South Africa, Australia, and Norway.

  Stortinget behandlet Sannhets- og forsoningskommisjonens rapport 12. november 2024. Det ble vedtatt til sammen 17 punkter som et oppgjør med fornorskningspolitikken. I denne artikkelen ser vi på mediedekningen av Stortingets behandling i november 2024. Det vil si både dagene før og dagene etter behandlingen. Artikkelen viser omfanget av tradisjonelle mediers dekning, både i radio, på tv og i papir- og nettaviser. Studien bygger på kvantitative mediedata. Analysen av disse dataene viser at mediedekningen hadde to topper, en mindre topp da kontroll- og konstitusjonskomiteen la fram sin innstilling, og en større topp da Stortinget behandlet innstillingen. Analysen viser videre at lokal- og regionalmedia i nord hadde saken lengre på dagsorden enn medier i sør, samt riksmedia. Tallene viser at medieoppmerksomheten flatet ut og holdt seg på et relativt lavt nivå mot slutten av november.

  Over the past decades, truth-telling commissions aimed at uncovering, confronting and providing justice for the past treatment of children have been established in many countries, including the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (RCIRCSA 2013-2017) and the Norwegian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) (2018-2023). Journalism plays important roles both in triggering commissions of inquiry and in attracting public attention to their work and findings. This paper investigates media reporting on the RCIRCSA and the TRC. The Commissions were not similar in scale, scope or legal powers, however, they both generated spaces for public listening to stories about the consequences of past policies and present practices of child removal, abuse and racism that potentially could change the grand narratives of each nation. Our findings suggest that future commissions should pay particular attention to the structural power of news logics and mediation. We find, despite the widely different cases, consistent patterns of uneven and hierarchical media reporting and overshadowing of First Nations voices and aspirations.

  Social media has contributed to the spread of populist political communication, but we still lack a systematic knowledge of the contextual factors affecting its use. In this study, we investigated how and to what degree platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and party characteristics (populist vs. non-populist parties; political ideology) affected the use of populist communication by Norwegian parties on social media during the 2021 national election campaign. Based on a tripartite conceptualization of populist communication consisting of people-centrism, anti-elitism, and the exclusion of outgroups, we conducted a standardized content analysis of the official social media accounts of nine parties and their party leaders. Populist communication was overall rather rare. It was the most widespread on Facebook and the least widespread on Twitter. Which parties used populist communication the most depended on the platform, and it was not always the populist Progress Party who communicated most populist. Parties located towards the fringes of the party spectrum used more populist communication. Anti-elitism was more widespread among left parties, and almost only the right-wing Progress Party excluded outgroups.

  In an unprecedented situation of uncertainty, the COVID-19 pandemic tested the public crisis communication capacity. Using focus group data, this study analyzes public reactions to COVID-19 policies in Scandinavia. In line with the “rally around the flag” hypothesis, trust in public health authorities remained high in all three Scandinavian countries throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We asked how people assessed the trustworthiness of authorities, and how they discussed reasons for complying with regulations and recommendations. Our findings suggest that the trustworthiness of experts and leaders was continually negotiated, manufactured, and renegotiated, producing critical and conditional trust. Willingness to and reasons for complying with measures to curb the disease were expressed and justified by participants from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, notwithstanding the national policies consisting of harsh regulations and mild pressure.

Walking the line of the double bind - A cross-country comparison on women and men politicians’ self-presentations on social media.

  Political leaders play a crucial role in shaping societal perceptions and citizens’ expectations of gender roles. Through their self-presentation on social media, political leaders have the power to either reinforce or challenge existing gender stereotypes, thereby influencing how citizens perceive and interpret gender norms. However, research on how women and men politicians present themselves on social media is scarce. This comparative study contributes to remedying this research gap by content analysing the official Facebook and Instagram pages of 18 political leaders during the 2021 national election campaigns in Germany and Norway. In contrast to earlier research on gendered presentations of politicians in the news, we did not find strong evidence of gendered self-presentations in either country, neither in terms of personalisation nor in terms of gender issue ownership. This could be because gender roles in Germany and Norway have become more fluid, or because the successful politicians we have analysed have been successful due to their ability to “walk the double bind” of needing to conform to both masculine and feminine gender expectations. Our study calls for more comparative research into this field, including studies of lower profile politicians and politicians in countries with lower degrees of gender equality.

  Med formål om å avdekke urett og overgrep begått mot samer og kvener/norskfinner av den norske stat, overleverte Sannhets- og forsoningskommisjonen sin sluttrapport til Stortinget 1. juni 2023. I denne studien undersøker vi den norske mediedekningen av kommisjonens arbeid, med særlig vekt på overleveringen av selve rapporten, samt hvordan Sannhets- og forsoningskommisjonen kommuniserte med mediene og hvordan dette påvirket mediedekningen. I studien er det benyttet både kvantitative og kvalitative mediedata, i tillegg til intervjuer. Analysen av de kvantitative mediedataene viser at mediedekningen av kommisjonen var lav, til tross for en økende nyhetsverdi rundt overleveringen av rapporten. Dette knyttes til kommisjonens kommunikasjonsformer som i liten grad involverte nyhetsmediene. Den kvalitative analysen, her basert på en diskursanalytisk tilnærming, identifiserer fire diskurser: urett, behov for handling, kollektivt ansvar og pågående fornorskning. Studien avslører også hvordan hierarkiske og elitedominerte strukturer preger mediedekningen av kommisjonen, der enkelthendelser vektlegges mer enn langsiktige prosesser.

  For citizens to make well-informed decisions, they require information on diverse policy issues, which, among others, are publicized on political parties’ social media accounts. However, as strategic actors, parties carefully weigh which issues to highlight and which to play down, rather than addressing a full range of issues in their campaigns. We investigated the hitherto neglected question of which issue diversity parties prioritize on their social media accounts and which factors influence this choice. We conducted a standardized content analysis of the official Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts of 10 Norwegian parties and their leaders during the 2021 national election campaign. The results of our analyses indicate that issue-related campaign strategies influence parties’ issue diversity more systematically than parties’ governing/opposition statuses and their choices of social media platforms.

  Giđđajohtin, a live, minute-by-minute Slow-TV production was broadcast by NRK, the Norwegian public service broadcaster, from 24 April to 3 May 2017. In this article we analyse Giđđajohtin as an Indigenous Media production and explore the NRKs decision to produce the programme. We also highlight how the Slow-TV format was used to enable storytelling from an Indigenous perspective. Our study is based on a purposive selection of qualitative interviews with key individuals involved in the commissioning, development and production of the programme. The key actors’ knowledge and competence of reindeer husbandry and land use were essential to the programme’s narrative. The key actors also raised awareness in the public sphere about everyday conflicts relating to Indigenous life. Our analysis shows how Indigenous media productions can involve collaboration between different actors in public service broadcasting organisations, and how these actors can be included at all levels of decision-making. At the same time, the decision to produce Giđđajohtin required an alignment of interests between actors with different positions of power within NRK.

  Eliciting user reactions is an important tactic for political actors using social media like Facebook to seek attention for campaign messages on policy issues. Still, little is known about policy issues’ effect on user reactions and how structural factors play into this relationship. Applying a standardized manual content analysis on Facebook posts from political parties and their top candidates during the German, Hungarian, and Norwegian national election campaigns in 2021/2022 (N = 4988), we investigate the relationship between policy issues and two of Facebook’s “emotional reactions” (“angry” and “love”). We find that posts addressing the economy, energy policy, and foreign policy drive more “angry” reactions, while environmental posts drive more “love” reactions. While effects are largely uniform across different party types, there are more variations between countries. Our analyses suggest that differences between individual parties and candidates and situational factors are vital to understanding the relationship between policy issues and user reactions.

  The concept of transparency has been problematized in risk research. This exploratory study contributes to the risk literature by considering an established three-dimensional transparency framework (information substantiality, accountability, and participation) and discussing the opportunities for and challenges to risk communication in relation to the framework. Furthermore, we examine the strategies of Scandinavian health authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the different levels of public trust in these authorities. In general, Norwegian authorities received higher levels of trust than their Swedish and Danish counterparts. We argue that this was partly due to differences in transparency management. Our findings support the importance of the three transparency dimensions and indicate that transparency regarding uncertainties positively impacts levels of trust.

  Denne boka er den tredje i en rekke av studier av sametingsvalg i Norge. Med utgangspunkt i velgerundersøkelser og kvalitative studier behandler boka ulike sider ved sametingsvalg generelt og valget i 2017 spesielt. Gjennom ni kapitler ser boka både på velgeradferd og valgresultat og på mer grunnleggende spørsmål om samepolitikkens oppbygging. Boka har fem hovedtemaer. For det første, samisk identitet og forholdet til valgmanntallet. Hva skal til for å oppfatte seg selv eller andre som same? Når er man «samisk nok» til å melde seg inn i valgmanntallet? Disse spørsmålene angår selve grunnlaget for samepolitikken: hvem som skal tillates å velge representanter på vegne av det samiske folket. For det andre, det samiske sivilsamfunnet. Hvordan forholder organisasjoner som representerer samer og samiske interesser seg til Sametinget? For det tredje, valgdeltakelse. Hvordan kan man forklare hjemmesitting i et system der man – i motsetning til andre valg i Norge – aktivt må registrere seg på forhånd som velger? Og hva med det faktum at velgere i kommuner med færre enn 30 manntallsførte må forhåndsstemme – bidrar dette til å trekke ned valgdeltakelsen? For det fjerde, det partipolitiske landskapet. Hva skiller velgerne til de ulike partiene? Er det tydelige forskjeller som gjør det lett for velgerne å se forskjell på partiene? For det femte, valgkampen og velgernes informasjon. Hvor henter velgerne sin informasjon om valget fra? Vi ser særlig på hvordan partier og velgere finner hverandre i Sør-Norge, en valgkrets der sametingsvalget nesten ikke dekkes i mediene. Sametingsvalg: Tilhørighet, deltakelse, partipolitikk henvender seg til alle som er opptatt av ulike sider ved det å ha et samisk demokratisk system i Norge, men særlig til studenter, forskere, journalister og samepolitisk aktive.

  The Norwegian approach to COVID-19 can more than anything else be seen as pragmatic and flexible, adjusting to the constantly shifting situation in the aftermath of the virus. At the time of writing (September 2020), Norway has 264 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, and approximately 10,000 infected cases. March and April were the time with the highest number of infections, while the curve flattened between May and August. The major restrictions, more or less a lockdown of the country, were implemented on March 12. These measures were described by the Prime Minister Erna Solberg as ‘the strongest and most invasive measures in Norway in peacetime.’ New measures have been introduced and eased, according to the current situation and the latest knowledge and experiences with the disease. We call it a pragmatic approach as it is openly experimental and relies on learning by doing and adaptation by measures both to local and specific circumstances.

  The overall conclusion that can be drawn from the contributions in this anthology is that it is hardly relevant to talk about a clear-cut Nordic model of political communication that highly contrasts other democratic states and their political communication systems. Global trends such as digitalisation and commercialisation of media systems and blurring lines between national and global political issues influence political communication. Still, there are many observations that confirm the existence of prevailing Nordic system peculiarities, such as comparably higher levels of voter turnout and political trust and relatively strong private and public news media. While these merging characteristics exist, it is relevant to look more carefully upon factors in the Nordic countries that seem to contribute to continuity and stability in political communication systems. In our view, it is particularly interesting to pay attention to relevant factors in the Nordic countries that may contribute to resilience in these societies. So far, the Nordic countries have shown considerable ability to embrace international political communication trends without jeopardising essential nation-specific distinctive features. Whether this resilience will prevail in the future remains an open question.

  Mediedekningen av stortingsvalgkampen i 2017 er i denne artikkelen analysert ved hjelp av spesialiserte og strategiske søk i Retriever-basen. Analysen gir et første, helhetlig bilde av hvordan ulike nyhetsmedier dekket valget, dekningen av partier og saker, samt omfanget. De sentrale funnene er at valgkampen ble dekket av alle typer medier, og at lokalavisenes dekning av stortingsvalget i antall artikler var mer omfattende enn riksmedienes. Journalistikken hadde stort søkelys på regjeringsalternativene, men dekket også en rekke andre saker. Analysen er også en metodisk utprøving av strategiske søk som metode for å analysere store datamengder.

  The Nordic countries have been termed a supermodel for political and economic governance. This anthology explores how and why the political communication systems contribute to explaining and understanding why the Nordic countries stand out as stable, democratic welfare states. The state and nation-building processes of these small European countries were not at all identical, but the ensuing political systems show many similarities. Yet, there are also considerable differences. Part One of the anthology explores developments in the media structure and relationship between media and politics in the five Nordic countries. The chapters are co-authored by scholars from political communication, media, and journalism from each country and emphasise particular national traits. Part Two studies and compares political communication across the Nordic countries within particular domains, such as political journalism, local journalism, lobbyism, elections, and the spread of fake news, with a specific eye for similarities and differences between the Nordic countries. We conclude with the argument that Nordic political communication is and should be international and comparative. Still we want to highlight the need to also continue with in-depth national or Nordic comparative studies.

  To evaluate issues and party positions in the Sámi parliamentary elections, voters are dependent on information about political alternatives. Based on The 2017 Sámi Parliamentary Election Study, this chapter examines Sámi voters’ use of various information sources, how this use has changed over time, conditions that explain differences in use between voter groups, and whether voters have confidence in these information sources. An important finding is that the position of traditional news media has deteriorated between 2009 and 2017, while social arenas and social media’s position are increasing. This may indicate that the conditions for a joint Sámi public sphere are being weakened. The development can, however, be labeled as a hybridization where the Sámi public sphere has become increasingly diverse. We do not have data to determine whether this development will have a positive or a negative effect on Sámi democracy. Another significant finding is that Sámi speakers perceive most information sources as more important than those with less knowledge of Sámi language do. This applies to both Sámi-language and Norwegian-language media. However, the pattern is different regarding trust, where those who have Sámi language skills tend to have lower trust in traditional Norwegian-language media, compared with those who have weaker Sámi language skills.

  Across the world, Indigenous peoples are reclaiming their cultural and political identities, after having suffered decades of assimilation, repression and marginalisation. A major tool in this process is Indigenous journalism, which allows for storytelling and news reporting from the inside, as opposed to being a marginalised group that is only reported about from the outside. This article presents a comparative analysis of Indigenous political journalism as practised in the Norwegian and Swedish public broadcasters. The article explains the differences between the practices of NRK Sápmi and SR Sameradion & SVT Sápmi regarding their reporting on the campaign leading up to the Sámediggi elections in Norway and Sweden in 2013. The analysis shows that Sámi journalists on both sides of the border adhere to commonly shared characteristics of Indigenous journalism practices, but with considerable variation between them. There are two main conclusions of the analysis. First, NRK Sápmi and SR Sameradion & SVT Sápmi indeed practise Indigenous journalism, but do so differently, and second, ethnic identity counts, but institutions decide. Sámi journalism is constrained not only by national borders but also by the institutional framework of the parent company, the public service remits and the resources available to them.

Med utgangspunkt i velgerundersøkelser og mediestudier spør vi blant annet: Hvem stemmer ved valg til Sametinget? Hvilke politiske skillelinjer finnes blant velgerne? Hva mener velgerne om Sametingets legitimitet? Og hvordan ser medienes rapportering av sametingsvalg ut? I begge land er sametingene de folkevalgte organene som skal ivareta samenes rett til selvbestemmelse. Boka viser likevel at det er betydelige forskjeller mellom de to sametingene. Det gjelder ikke bare sametingenes lovgrunnlag, ressurser og institusjonelle utforming, men også velgernes atferd og holdninger. Utformingen av institusjonene, sammen med den politikken de to statene har ført overfor samene, har lagt grunnlaget for disse forskjellene. Det er dermed vanskelig å snakke om én nordisk modell for urfolks selvbestemmelse, verken på institusjonsnivå eller velgernivå. Boka er redigert av statsviterne Eva Josefsen, Ulf Mörkenstam, Ragnhild Nilsson og Jo Saglie, og har bidrag fra statsvitere og medieforskere fra Norge og Sverige. Boka henvender seg særlig til forskere, studenter og samepolitisk aktive, men vil være av interesse for alle som er opptatt av utfordringene knyttet til et samisk demokratisk system i Norge og Sverige.

  Social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many other services, have established themselves as part of the networked and increasingly hybrid public sphere, extending and transforming it to allow for and facilitate access to all kinds of content and participants. By their sheer ubiquity, these media contribute to changing media ecologies and open new ways and forms of communications between citizens and their representatives. During election campaigns, political parties and their candidates have a number of ways of seeking to mobilise voters by attracting attention to the parties' issues and top candidates. Many of these involve processes of mediatisation, that is, parties and politicians adapt their practices and messages to formats, deadlines and genres that are journalistically attractive. This study seeks to map and understand intermedial agenda setting between social media and traditional news media by analysing data from both local journalism and the social media activity of local politicians during the 2011 Norwegian local election campaigns. Our findings show that local politicians were active on social media as part of their campaigning, yet there was surprisingly little evidence that social media content travelled to local newspapers and contributed to agenda setting, thereby contradicting findings from other settings stating that social media have become established journalistic sources. We suggest that one explanation may reflect the nature of Norwegian politics and culture in which the distance between journalists, citizens and politicians is proximate.

  Election campaigns are central to political life as well as to the study of political communication and provides much empirical knowledge about the processes of mediatisation and mediation of politics. Most often studies focus on the campaigns featuring the national top politicians. However, most elections campaigns in Western democracies are run by party branches and candidates who rarely make the top headlines in the nationwide media, yet they are also dependent on media attention and agenda-setting to be visible and reach their voters. Relying on several data sets from studies of the Norwegian 2009 parliamentary election campaign, this study asks, first, how regional, mainly “non-celebrity politicians,” obtain visibility. We seek to unravel how the media logic works on the regional and local level. Second, we ask why it is important for candidates in a party-centred proportional (PR) system to be visible. Our findings suggest that we should recognise the mediatised and multileveled character of election campaigns in order to understand how media logics work below the nationwide setting.

  During a pandemic, the advice issued by public health authorities undergoes significant scrutiny, potentially affecting public adherence to recommended measures. Trust and trustworthiness become key. This book analyses the rhetorical strategies of the Norwegian public health authorities as the COVID-19 pandemic moved through phases that presented different rhetorical problems and challenges. Many consider the Norwegian response successful, making it a particularly interesting case. Adopting an organisation-focused viewpoint, the analysis examines communication strategies through a dataset collected as the pandemic evolved. This included observations within communication departments of the main public health agencies during March and April 2020. The study offers five key insights: 1) A pandemic rhetorical situation has changing constraints and opportunities that influence the agency of the rhetor and necessitates bottom-up, continuing situational analysis and attention to perceptions; 2) The notion of “the rhetorical situation” conceptualises different phases that “bleed” into each other; 3) Trust and trustworthiness are negotiated through specific rhetorical strategies; 4) Transparency is the most crucial strategy; 5) Authorities used a combination of invitational rhetoric, providing a role for the citizens to willingly contribute to curbing the virus, and imperative form through simple directives that citizens were expected to follow.  The primary audience for this book is scholars and practitioners within crisis communication. The book is written by a team from the “Pandemic Rhetoric” project, financed by the Research Council of Norway, consisting of Øyvind Ihlen (University of Oslo), Sine Nørholm Just (Roskilde University), Jens E. Kjeldsen (University of Bergen), Ragnhild Mølster (University of Bergen), Truls Strand Offerdal (University of Oslo), Joel Rasmussen (Örebro University), and Eli Skogerbø (University of Oslo).

• Skogerbø, Eli (2026). Reporting energy injustice: Indigenous land claims and the “green” shift in local news. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  This paper investigates how local journalism mediates energy justice in the context of the “green” transition, through a case study of media coverage of the Øyfjellet wind power conflict in Norway. The conflict concerns a wind power plant licensed by Norwegian state authorities, and its impacts on the Sámi reindeer herding district Jillen Njaarke Sijte, whose traditional pasturelands and migration routes were disrupted by the project. While renewable energy expansion is commonly framed as environmentally necessary, this case highlights how the distribution of benefits and burdens of the green transition remains profoundly uneven. The paper asks: How did the local newspaper Helgelendingen report the Øyfjellet conflict, and in what ways did its coverage articulate—or obscure—key dimensions of energy justice? It examines how questions of distributive, recognitional, and procedural justice were framed in local news reporting, and how Indigenous Sámi knowledge and land based expertise were positioned relative to industrial, legal, and economic rationales for wind power development. The study is grounded in energy justice scholarship, which conceptualises the green transition not only as a technical shift in energy systems but as a social process shaped by power, inequality, and historical injustice. This framework is combined with work on green colonialism and internal colonisation in the Nordic Sámi context, as well as theories of epistemic injustice and strategic ignorance. These perspectives enable an analysis of how journalism participates in defining whose knowledge counts as relevant and credible in debates about “just” energy futures. Empirically, the paper draws on a qualitative close reading of approximately 200 news articles and opinion pieces published between 2011 and 2024, with a focus on the newspaper’s coverage of the District Court case held in Mosjøen in May–June 2024. The analysis attends to framing, sourcing practices, language use, and journalistic reliance on information subsidies supplied by corporate and legal actors during both the planning phase and the court proceedings. The findings show that while reporting prior to the construction of the wind power plant (2019-2022) presented the conflict as involving multiple stakeholders, the coverage of the 2024 court case was characterised by pronounced asymmetries. Journalistic dependence on the wind company’s legal framing and communicative resources foregrounded economic efficiency, regulatory compliance, and climate mitigation, while marginalising Sámi claims as rights holders and knowledge bearers. Indigenous understandings of land, mobility, and cumulative encroachment were rendered vague or unintelligible, resulting in forms of testimonial and recognitional injustice. Procedural energy justice was similarly weakened, as unequal communicative capacities were normalised rather than critically interrogated. Local journalism plays a consequential role in shaping public understandings of energy justice in the green transition. When Indigenous peoples are primarily framed as obstacles to development rather than as rights holders affected by unjust energy regimes, local media risk reproducing colonial logics under the banner of sustainability. The study contributes to energy justice and journalism scholarship by demonstrating how injustices are not only produced through energy policy and infrastructure, but also through everyday news practices that legitimise particular energy futures while silencing others.

  I denne masteroppgåva ser eg nærare på den politiske prosessen bak etablering av ei forsøksordning med catskiing ved Harpefossen skisenter i Eid kommune. Studien ser på korleis prosessen har utarta seg frå visjonen om å tilby catskiing kommersielt vart skapt til Eid kommune vart peika ut som ein av seks kommunar til å delta i eit forsøk med kommunale beltebilløyper for catskiing. Vidare undersøker eg kva faktorar som har vore viktige for framdrifta og det endelege resultatet. Dette gir grunnlag for å svare på problemstillinga: Korleis har aktørane i saka om catskiing ved Harpefossen skisenter i Eid kommune arbeidd for å sikre seg politisk støtte og kva faktorar har vore avgjerande for gjennomslaget av forsøket? Empirien til studien er henta frå fem kvalitative intervju og dokumentanalyse av ei rekkje relevante dokument. I det teoretiske rammeverket tek eg for meg strategisk politisk kommunikasjon. Det blir særleg sett på Binderkrantz (2005) sine strategiar for politisk påverknad. Vidare har eg nytta meg av Bourdieu (1984) sine former for kapital for å avdekke om aktørane sine ressursar har påverka tilgangen til dei politiske arenaene og dermed val av strategiar for påverknad. Resultat frå studien viser at det særleg er tre faktorar som var avgjerande for gjennomslaget av forsøksordninga for catskiing. Den første og mest tydelege faktoren er at politikarane hadde tru på catskiing som reiselivsprodukt og stayerevne til å arbeide for saka. Den andre faktoren handlar om mengda av bestemte kapitalformer som aktørane hadde tilgang på. Desse ressursane fungerte som døropnarar til å påverke dei politiske arenane. Den tredje faktoren er at prosessen som har gått over lang tid har vore prega av ein rekke tilfeldigheiter og flaks

  Political communication on social media is the topic of this dissertation. The Internet and social media platforms have provided participants in the public sphere with new ways to connect, communicate and distribute information. This study examines how and why the three main actor groups within political communication – political actors, media actors and citizens – connect and interact on social media during the electoral process in Norway in 2013. This hybrid media landscape is characterized by political actors who can bypass media as gatekeepers and communicate directly with voters on their own Facebook pages. Simultaneously, social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are important traffic drivers for mass media, as well as convenient ways for political journalists to reach readers and political sources. Nevertheless, as I argue in this dissertation, the new mechanisms for attention, visibility and popularity on social media platforms is not sufficiently articulated or understood in the existing research literature. This dissertation suggests that the emerging theories of social media logic can help us understand how political communication occur in networked publics. Central in my arguments is a critical understanding of social media logic and affordances offered by communication technologies. Affordances are here understood as the action possibilities that communication technologies allow for, such as liking, sharing or measuring the response of an item. Based on the empirical findings from the articles in Part II, as well as the theoretical discussion in this cover chapter, I have developed the conceptual framework for political communication on social media, which allows us to analyse how political communication occurs on social media platforms. The conceptual framework consists of five high-level affordances: Publishing, visibility, networking, connectivity, and segmentation. I argue that these affordances are the building blocks of the social media logic in political communication. Lastly, this dissertation outlines the implications of the social media logic for the three key actor groups in this study. I argue that one of the main consequences of the social media logic is media actors’ weakening role as gatekeepers of information, potential turning media actors into curators of information.

  Background: Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are currently an integrated part of society. Being able to take part in the information society is a prerequisite for fully being able to take part in society. The goal of “Universal design”, “design for all” and similar approaches, collectively referred to as inclusive design approaches (IDAs) in this thesis, is the development of products and services that are accessible and easy to use for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and the elderly. Aim: The aim of this work has been to study the challenges related to the inclusive design of ICTs, and in particular, the challenges related to design for diversity. Secondly, it has been to explore two seemingly opposing objectives in inclusive design; namely, the need for flexibility on the one hand, and the need for simplicity on the other hand. A third aim has been to study the practise of inclusive design in light of the knowledge from previous work within user-centred and participatory design. Method: This work is based upon qualitative research from seven research projects on the universal design of ICT. The methods used in these projects have been focus groups, observation and interviews, personas and technical-accessibility testing. More than 150 participants with a wide range of capabilities have been involved in these research projects. Contributions: This work has resulted in the following contributions: 1) Based upon examination of the current empirical material and previous and related research, the important elements of inclusive design were identified and discussed. 2) The need for flexibility of inclusively designed ICT solutions is investigated. Several types of flexibility in the empirical research material at hand were examined. Although some types of flexibility may be necessary in inclusive design, it is found that this flexibility might easily lead to complexity. Complexity will in turn be in conflict with the creation of ICT solutions that are simple and easy to use, which is another requirement of inclusive design. Five strategies to reduce the overall complexity of ICT solutions are therefore proposed. 3) A deepened understanding of inclusive design is sought by analysing, comparing and contrasting the various experiences from inclusive design in this research with knowledge from user-centred and participatory design. While it is found that a focus on user involvement is at least as important in inclusive design as in previous approaches, it is underscored that it is necessary to rethink and to be clear about the reasons and purpose behind the user involvement. The focus should be on involving users in inclusive design because it fosters innovation and mutual learning, it increases the motivation of the development team and because participants can offer important aid in prioritising activities during the design process. Based on this research, some advice with regard to selecting users and the application of methods in an inclusive design context is given. Conclusions and future work: This research has summarised important elements of inclusive design and deepened our understanding of the challenge of diversity when designing for everybody. It has contributed with some measures to meet these challenges, and pointed out a number of open questions and areas for further work.
