Hejsan everyone!
I perfectly understand that we're all busy preparing for the seminar with Stig on Friday, but... Here you can find some extracts from Robert McChesney's book "Rich Media, Poor Democracy". If you're interested, you can also have a look at "The New Media Monopoly" by Ben Bagdikian. You won't obviously find full-text pages, but at least some passages may be useful and interesting to read.
Vi ses senare at the svenska class!!

Encore, Encore
Had it been a concert, theater production or any other kind of show, I would without a doubt have been on my feet chanting for more of the GIJC 2008 in Lillehammer.
What a memorable introduction to the Masters programme in Global Journalism! I came away from the conference feeling oh so fired up, having listened to many interesting seminars, given by truly inspiring journalists.
There was something really special about having all these people, that share the same passion, in one place.
My eyes were opened to the world of investigative journalism, which I now consider a very favourable option in my future career.
And how about that admirable organisation and the great opportunity for networking!
I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Norwegian food, the entertainment, well, the list goes on......
One thing is for sure, countless positive superlatives come to mind when I think of the Lillehammer experience.
Thank you all for making it a memorable trip!
I can't wait for Switzerland 2010. Can you?

ALLAN ONCE AGAIN
Here is a link to Allans book. Pages, we have to read are 42-52. The article is called "The gender matter debate in journalism" by Linda Steiner. The book is not of best quality to read from monitor, and it is impossible to copy the text. But it is better, than nothing anyway.

Life and studies in Sweden
Sweden is pretty one of the most interesting place to learn among the countries in Europe and in the Scandinavia in particular. It must equally be commended the fact that Sweden is among the very few countries in the world, if not, the only to make education completely free. It is calm, peaceful and its citizens are generally welcoming.
Though not necessarily an English colony, the second language after the Svenka (official language of Sweden) is English. It is really amazing to know that most Swedish speak good English as well.
However, Sweden is certainly not a destination for those who want to come there and look for jobs. The jobs are quite few and those available, are often for people who understand the Swedish language. This does in any way mean that it is totally impossible to have part time jobs in Sweden as a student.
The educational system is well organized. Education is tuition-free and most of the things in school, as in most of the country are highly computerized. This is good though, but, has drastically cut down jobs.
We hear that the Swedish government is about to introduced the payment of fees but this has not been confirmed by any official sources. It must be said here ahead of time that the introduction of fees will certainly and drastically reduce the number of students who will come to Sweden given that unlike in most developed countries, foreign students in Sweden have limited part-time employment opportunities.
It is really a pleasure and an experience doing an International Masters Programme in Global Journalism. As Roland Stanbridge, Coordinator of the programme posits, those (most) of us who came in as local journalists from our various countries are expected to leave Sweden as international or global journalists.
It is under the framework of attaining this objective that students attended the 5th global conference on Investigative journalism in Norway. The trip was formidable from the information i gathered since i arrived Sweden late. Though i did not attend the conference in Norway, from the experiences shared by other participants, it was worth attending.

Maybe it's time to start writing something? Norway GIJC 2008
Writing from the class of my global journalism programme. I have just returned from the marvelous conference that was held in Norway few days back. On the surface and indepth, it all felt and looked perfect so as I enjoyed every single moment of this wonderful event.Yet, acquiring comprehensively an imperative knowledge is another positive quality that Norway granted to me.
Now i am back again to Sweden, back to studies and normal life.However,i feel a bit ill due to the climate changes and an intensive workshop I have done during the conference, because there was a task from the university I had to accomplish and later on present.
Conference: Well, extremely interesting and very productive.
City. Lillehammer is a beautiful mountainous area with lovely nature and landscape. I believe only for this reasons it was worth organizing winter Olympic 1994.
Contingent:Some prominent scholars such as Robert Fisk, Martin-Hans-Tillack and others.
Participants: 500 people/86 countries.
Topics such as "Investigating Journalism in Russia","HOW TO PROTECT SOURCES", "International Criminal Investigative Journalism", "HOW TO INVESTIGATE CORRUPTION" ETC.
An Official website of Global Investigative Journalism Conference here.
Organization: Very well organized what I thank them for.
Photos would be posted sometime very soon and I hope you will enjoy them.
So altogether big up yourselves right now and take this life very easy.
Da world is yours indeed.
