Bridging Investigative Journalism Program

oktober 17 @ 00:00 - november 7 @ 00:00
In a world where democracy is being threatened by the accelerated loss of local journalism, it is not uncommon for communities to be left with fake news and polarizing biases. The need for journalists who can understand global challenges and extrapolate these into local contexts is now more relevant than ever. The University of Bergen (UiB), the American University (AU), and the Nordic Press Center in Washington (NPC) have partnered up to tackle these challenges through the BRIJ project.

Every year, five journalism students from the American University in Washington DC exchange places with five UiB’s journalism master’s students in Bergen. During their stay, students take part in lectures, seminars, and professional meetings with journalists and editors at national and local levels.

Additionally, since visits are planned to happen consecutively, the students from both universities can interact and take part in the activities for the visiting group, enriching the overall experience and fostering sustainable research collaboration.
