We are launching a small online survey to collect feedback about the Forum Talks and well as the idea behind our Nordic Forum: “social responsibility in journalism”. We are grateful if you can donate 10 minutes of your time to fill out the questionnaire. You can find the survey here and see the privacy notice below.
The questionnaire data will be used as a background material when we develop the future events and talks. It will also be used in researcher Mikko Hautakangas’ PhD project, where he addresses the role of journalism in societal polarization and the potential of journalism to play a role in depolarization.
Thank you so much!
