Reuters Institute for the Study of JournalismDigital News Report 2025. Episode 4: How people check if information is real or fakeWe discuss how people check information that they suspect might be false, fake or misleading, and the role of news organisations in this process. If people come across information which they suspect may be false, fake or misleading, where do they turn to verify or debunk it? This is the question at the heart of this episode of our podcast mini series on the Digital News Report 2025. We discuss what are the most frequently named sources, where news organisations fit in among the wider choice of institutions, platforms and fac-checking websites, and how this all varies according to different audience...2025-07-0326 min
Moderne ideer – oplæstHvad skal vi med nyhederne?I en tid med breaking news kan det undre, at vi samlet set bruger mindre tid på nyheder, end vi gjorde før i tiden. Og mens nyhedsmedierne kæmper om vores opmærksomhed, bliver den sociale ulighed i nyhedsbrug online større. Men nyheder kan stadig noget, som ikke meget andet kan. I denne bog giver professor Rasmus Kleis Nielsen et bud på, hvad det er, hvorfor det er udfordret, og hvordan nyhederne og deres rolle i vores samfund er ved at ændre sig radikalt.

EU ConfidentialElon Musk: Europe’s Bloviator-in-ChiefThe world’s richest man has a lot to say, a vast platform, and the ear of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Now he has turned his focus to Europe. As Elon Musk weighs in on European politics, often supporting extreme candidates and promoting conspiracies, Brussels tech regs appear no match for the algorithmic onslaught. For former MEP Marietje Schaake, now International Policy Director at Stanford University’s Cyber Policy Center, it’s just a small part of Europe’s subordination to Silicon Valley, as described in her book “The Tech Coup.” She joins Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, professor at the Universit...2025-01-1033 min
TabloidMedier uden magt?En gang var journalisterne blandt de største helte i den amerikanske offentlighed - nu omtaler den nyvalgte præsident medierne som fjenden, store tv-stationer og dagblade har mistet kunderne, og den offentlige samtale er flyttet derhen, hvor man kun behøver høre dem, man er enig med.
Hvorfor holdt amerikanerne op med at læse avis og stole på nyhederne? Hvor fejlede medierne? Og hvad kan en dansk mediebranche lære af de amerikanske kollegers nedtur?

Committee CorridorThe impact of declining local journalismThere are falling levels of trust in news, growing numbers of people who avoid news stories, and a sharp decline in the number of those who take a strong interest in news coverage. Local newspapers and broadcast services are also disappearing due to cuts, centralisation, and mergers. How would we hold local government and public services to account for the decisions that affect our everyday lives? What does it mean for our understanding of institutions like the courts if we don't engage with coverage?
