.
Time & Place: Wednesday October 2 at 8-10 in lecture hall V3.

Guest lecturer: Ola Henriksson, Editorial project manager at Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) and Olle Zachrison, Business editor at Svenska Dagbladet.

Title: Engaging readers to contribute to the news

Talk: A media product is nothing without its readers/viewers/users. Digital media gives unique possibilities to make readers (viewers/users) more active and even to allow or invite them into the process of making the news. We will talk about how engaged readers can be a good source of news. What are the key things to bear in mind when launching such projects? We will exemplify with the specific SvD case/project "Räntekartan" ("The interest rate map") and discuss what has made that project outstanding. Last year "Räntekartan" won Stora Journalistpriset ("The Swedish Grand Journalism Prize").

Daniel's comment:
Here is the jury's motivation for why "Räntekartan" won Stora Journalistpriset:

"Olle Zachrison, Carolina Neurath, Jan Almgren, Mark Malmström, Peter Grensund och Ola Henriksson, Svenska Dagbladet (vinnare) för Räntekartan. Med tiotusentals läsares hjälp har de utvecklat konsumentjournalistiken. Rapporteringen har blottat orättvisor och gett läsarna nya möjligheter att påverka."
