This book is strongly rooted in the Nordic Conferences for Journalism Teachers. The first versions of most contributions in this volume were presented at Making Journalists through Journalism Education: Nordic Perspectives, a pre-conference for the teacher conference in Reykjavik in autumn of 2014. It seems only fitting that this initiative came from what has been known as the Hofdabrekka group, a network of Nordic journalism teachers who, since a previous teacher’s conference in 2004 that also took place in Iceland, started work on a series of surveys of Nordic journalism students, which by 2012 had become the largest survey of this kind in the world, answered by almost five thousand students at thirty institutions of journalism learning. While working on early plans for an anthology from this survey project, we were struck by two facts. The first was that the research tradition on journalism education in the Nordic countries is remarkable, and is also so by international standards. Not only is the number of researchers and projects very high, but also the variety, and very often the quality, of this work is high as well. The second fact was that this tradition is hardly known outside the Nordic countries. For these reasons, we found it much more fitting to make a broad Nordic anthology on current research regarding journalism education, which made it possible to unite in one volume a multiplicity of different and complementary works, illuminating many aspects and challenges of modern journalism education in both the Nordic countries and elsewhere.
