We’re excited to introduce /Journalistica Methods/ – a brand-new podcast 
from /Journalistica/, the Nordic open-access journal dedicated to 
journalism as an interdisciplinary field.

Journalistica publishes research on journalistic practice, roles, norms, 
media institutions, content, genres, and more—based on a wide range of 
theories and *research methods*.

conducted and how these methods are relevant to both academia and practice.

qualitative material.
