A new study examines how Norwegian news media tried to leverage the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) to protect editorial independence by lobbying for an exemption from platform moderation. But without reading the political environment, lacking broad alliances, and facing strong resistance from Big Tech, fact-checkers, and civil society, the attempt failed – highlighting how hard it is for small countries to influence EU-level processes.

“Even a group of well-resourced and professionally robust media actors, given a unique policy window, were not able to challenge the platform companies’ collective framing during the DSA policy process", says Gunhild Ring Olsen.

The article also sheds light on ongoing boundary struggles in a hybrid media environment, where distinguishing editorial journalism from partisan or alternative media complicates cross-border policy interventions.

How do news media, AI and data governance shape the information we all rely on? 👉

A new Nordicom book explores how technological change and data policies are reshaping journalism, and what this means for democracy, inclusion, and trust in information systems.

💬 “Progress in this field heavily depends on combining two perspectives. Firstly, the rules and norms that regulate news, AI, and data, and secondly, the strategies used by civil society to counter the power of Big Tech.” — Robin Mansell, Professor Emeritus at the The London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE.

The book “Information Ecosystems and Troubled Democracy: The State of Knowledge on News Media, AI, and Data Governance” is written by Robin Mansell, Flavia Durach, PhD, Matthias C. Kettemann, Théophile Lenoir, Rob Procter, Gyan Tripathi, and Emily Tucker.

Thanks from the Nordicom team for publishing with us 🫶

The book is available as Open Access on our website: https://www.nordicom.gu.se/en/publications/information-ecosystems-and-troubled-democracy

🧒🧑🧓 Analysen lyfter också fram tydliga skillnader mellan generationerna.
