Folkejournalistikk i NRK – redaksjonelle valg og utøvelse av kontroll

Abstract

Abstract A central aim within the field of public journalism is to include the views of «ordinary» people and to let them take part in the agenda-setting process. In this article, I examine the execution of control within an editorial department that produced a discussion programme based on the participation of ordinary people. The article points to challenges for the editorial staff in terms of the level of control that can take place within a public journalistic project through looking at the selection processes behind the themes discussed and the participants chosen to be part of the panel.
