Media in crisis - a challenge for democracy?
Sep 12, 2014 What happens when the number of communicators keeps growing, while the number of journalists falls and more and more people read news on social media?

They often see themselves as better politicians than the elected representatives, who are under pressure from a growing number of media. A report from Norway’s Work Research Institute shows how an editorial office’s work environment influences creativity and the quality of the journalism.
