Support to #Metoo-project
The project “Journalistic professionalism in the coverage of #Metoo” receives NOK 350 000 from the Norwegian Council of Applied Media Research.
The project, lead by Professor Kristin Skare Orgeret, will study professional dilemmas in the journalistic coverage of #metoo, with a particular emphasis on the use of sources, the media focus on individuals and the editorial processes.
The project analyses the media coverage by seven Norwegian media institutions from 16th October 3017 to 16 April 2018, and will look into the ethical discussions that took place within the media houses in relation to the #metoo coverage.
