The Nordic Research Network in Journalism Studies has its sixth gathering in Stockholm April 26 – 27, 2012. Journalism and political communication is the main topic, and two topics are especially central: political scandals and political spin. Among the keynote speakers are professor Robert M. Entman and professor David Miller (editor of Spin Watch). In the days before the seminar (April 24-26) the network arranges a Master Class for PhD-students about “framing analysis in journalism research”, introduced by ass. Professor Baldwin Van Gorp.
