SUMMARY:Book Launch: Schibsted – The Digital Transformation of a Nordic Media Giant
DESCRIPTION:How do you steer one of the Nordics’ largest media companies through the digital revolution while aiming to grow stronger on the other side? \nWe invite you to a conversation with Ole J. Mjøs\, author and Professor of Media Studies at the University of Bergen\, who has closely studied Schibsted’s strategic choices\, digital transformation\, and international journey. \nJoining the discussion are Kjersti Løken Stavrum\, CEO of the Tinius Trust (Schibsted’s owner) and Chair of the Schibsted Board\, and Didrik Munch\, former CEO of Schibsted Norway and a key figure in building the company’s strong position. The conversation will be moderated by Sølve Rydland\, Political Editor at Bergensavisen (BA). \nTogether\, they will explore some of the big questions: \n\n\nWhat have been Schibsted’s greatest successes—and crises? \n\n\nWhich turning points shaped its digital expansion? \n\n\nWhy was the company split? \n\n\nWhat is at stake in the battle against global platform giants? \n\n\nAnd what lies ahead for a company determined to become the Nordic region’s leading media destination? \n\n\nThis is a rare opportunity to gain firsthand insights into the past\, present\, and future of one of the most influential media companies of our time. \nOrganizers: The Centre for Investigative Journalism (SUJO)\, the Media Industry and Journalism Research Group (Department of Information Science and Media Studies\, University of Bergen)\, and Media Cluster.

SUMMARY:Towards Responsible AI for Local Journalism
DESCRIPTION:We hereby invite you to a talk by Dr. Reshmi Pillai\, Vrije University\, Amsterdam\, on responsible AI for local journalism where she presents an ongoing research project. The studies include a graph-based retrieval augmented generation for news background information\, text simplification of news reports\, usage of LLM personas for news feedback for journalists.  \n\nAbout Reshmi Pillai: \n\n\nDr Reshmi Pillai is a Post-doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Communication Science at the Vrije University Amsterdam\, the Netherlands\, in the project “Towards Responsible AI for Local Journalism”. Earlier\, she was a Lecturer (Docent 4) in the Masters’ Information Studies program in the Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam (2019-2023). In 2021\, she was awarded Ph.D. for her thesis titled “Expressions of psychological stress on twitter: detection and characterisation”\, from the University of Wolverhampton\, UK. \n\n\nIn her research\, Reshmi explores human-centred AI applications to support societally embedded workflows and challenges—particularly in journalism. Collaborating with a Dutch news media organization\, she led design thinking sessions to identify practical challenges in newsroom settings. This led to several applied projects grounded in Natural Language Processing including: a graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation system that provides contextual background to journalists from sources like Wikipedia and news archives\, experimental prompting strategies for rewriting news headlines on social media in varied linguistic styles\, the development of LLM-based news reader personas to explore cultural inclusivity and evaluations of text simplification models to assess their treatment of stylistic and rhetorical devices.
