How local communication and journalism operate in the same field

Grant €136,000

University of Helsinki, Jaana Hujanen, PhD

The project examines how local communication and journalism operate in the same field but according to different principles in Finland in the beginning of the 2020s. The main question is what are the ethical principles and practices local media and other operators rely on when producing and creating information. This is being studied from the perspectives of makers’ self-perceptions, cases and future of journalism. The project relies theoretically on journalism, communication and future studies.
