We are happy to welcome Vicki Hammarstedt, Berkeley Advanced Media Institute, and Gerd Maria May Herz, Room of Solutions, to the 5th annual Oslo Media Meeting in the last week of September.

Register for Oslo Media Meeting 2019 here!
OMM 2019 – the 5th annual Oslo Media Meeting – is part of Oslo Innovation Week. “Explorers” is the theme of Oslo Innovation Week and in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to explore the ongoing development in journalism, media innovation and democracy.
This year the Oslo Media Meeting consists of two sessions – the first session on Wednesday afternoon, the second session on Thursday morning.
Welcome to Gerd Maria!
Gerd Maria May Hertz starts the first session on Wednesday 25th focusing on work to implement a new constructive dimension to modern news criteria for journalists. She brought more than a hundred students into the newsroom and the journalists to college, to work on solutions for the small Danish city Midelfart. It started with discussions, the journalists stepping in as teachers and in the end the students working as reporters to present the solutions needed for the society, instead of just complaining about what they didn’t like.
As a fellow from Constructive Institute, Gerd walks the talk and works with
practical projects, pointing in the direction of a new role for journalists, looking as much for solutions as for the old conflict. And she explains what we got wrong with the old news criterias, wrongly interpreted from an article by Johan Galtung several decades ago.
Welome to Vicki!
From California we are happy to welcome Vicki Hammarstedt. She is the architect and director for Berkeley Advanced Media Institute, having launched the program in 2011. An entrepreneur with a passion for all things digital, Vicki has had an eclectic career as a technology teacher, the developer of a charter school, co-founder of an e-commerce company, and as the business director in the telecom industry. She currently designs and produces multimedia training programs bringing the latest technologies and innovations in storytelling to career professionals throughout the world.
Vicki is part of the The Media Innovation Tour & Summit, an international collaboration between the Norwegian Institutt for Journalistikk and the Berkeley Advanced Media Institute. The project explores the opportunities and consequences of emerging technology, innovation, and design thinking to media and journalism.
