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.

Gerd Maria May Hertz tells what went wrong with the classic news criteria pointing in the direction of a new role for journalists, looking as much for solutions as for the conflicts.

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.

Vicki Hammarstedt explores the latest technologies and innovations in storytelling to career professionals throughout the world.

Welome to Vicki!
