Nordicom at the University of Gothenburg

Nordicom is a centre for Nordic media research at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. We offer a unified Nordic perspective on issues of media, journalism, and mediated communication. Here, you can read about our mandates and services. Nordicoms overall aim is to develop and spread science-based knowledge about the function of the media in Sweden and the Nordic region and to contribute to strengthening Nordic media research and cooperation between Nordic media researchers. The work that takes place at Nordicom is characterised by the fact that there is always a democratic perspective on the medias role in society. Nordicoms operations are divided into three focus areas: Facts and analysis, Academic publishing, and Researcher collaboration. We are supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers and also have assignments from the Swedish Ministry of Culture. We additionally collaborate with media authorities in both Sweden and the Nordics
