The TWG focuses on media in minority or minoritized languages with
relevance for the Nordic Countries. We are interested in the
interconnection between non-dominant languages and media, discussing the
relevance of media for linguistic vitality, the economic and political
structures around MLM, the unique features of journalism in a minority
language, aspects of the profession and journalism education as well as
content creation and audiences.
We are interested in languages in a minority position, for example
official languages in minority position (New Norwegian in Norway,
Swedish in Finland), national minority languages (Finnish, Yiddish),
regional languages, indigenous languages (Sámi languages), migrant
languages (Arabic), and Nordic sign languages. There are also small
Nordic languages that societies are based on, such as Faroese and
Greelandic.
We welcome research at the nexus of language and media in terms of
theories, empirical studies, methodologies, frameworks, and pedagogies.
The TWG aims at forming a new interdisciplinary Nordic forum to discuss
linguistic aspects of media that are of high relevance for the Northern
region and attract researchers not only from journalism and media
studies but also linguistics, educational studies, and cultural studies
with an interest in media, as well as minority and indigenous scholars.
NordMedia is the oldest Nordic conference for media and communication
research, launched in the 1970s. It is organized by national Nordic
research associations FSMK (Sweden), Mevi (Finland), NML (Norway) and
SMiD (Denmark) (see
https://nordmedianetwork.org/collaborations/associations/
<https://nordmedianetwork.org/collaborations/associations/>) in
collaboration with Nordicom, a centre for Nordic media research at the
University of Gothenburg (see https://www.nordicom.gu.se/en
<https://www.nordicom.gu.se/en>).
