- Norwegian political parties have adapted to the internet in different ways, either through an "e-ruption" that emphasizes grassroots participation, or through "normalization" with top-down professional control.
- Most major Norwegian parties initially took a normalization approach with their early websites, focusing on one-way communication rather than participation. However, some smaller left-wing parties tried to make themselves "big" on social media like Facebook and YouTube.
- The 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway challenged some parties' control over discussions on social media, as individual politicians and followers made embarrassing radical or insensitive comments, highlighting the difficulties of moderating discussions on new media.
Compassion is empathy for the suffering of others. "Compassion fatigue" refers to reduced compassion from constant exposure to suffering. News prioritizes disasters that fit familiar frames, involve common identities, and have geopolitical relevance. An "ordinary" spectator watches suffering as spectacle, while an "ideal" spectator feels appropriate compassion and wants to help. Three types of disaster news are adventure news, which doesn't engage viewers; ecstatic news, which shocks viewers; and emergency news, which creates empathy by explaining suffering and solutions. The "CNN effect" is the belief that media coverage influences foreign policy by pressuring humanitarian interventions. Realists are skeptical that foreign policy prioritizes national interests over media-

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This document discusses several concepts related to media, politics, and identity:
1) It explains that gender is a social and cultural construct that varies over time and between cultures, rather than being biologically determined.
2) It describes the concept of "glocality" as how individuals belong to both global and local spheres - being influenced by globalization but still drawing identity from the local.
3) It defines diaspora as ethnic migrant groups united by a shared origin, and discusses how minority media can empower these groups but also risk further segregating them from the mainstream.

This document summarizes key concepts from a media and politics seminar, including:
- Conspiracy theories attempt to explain events by reference to powerful groups secretly working against common citizens, and conspiracy culture reflects widespread distrust in institutions.
- A "media template" refers to how media frame current events based on past key events, such as using the Holocaust as a template to recognize and interpret genocides.
- Genocides can be "pre-mediated" through existing templates used to interpret current violence, and "post-mediated" through reinterpreting events after the fact to potentially change templates.
- Conspiracy theories are difficult to counter because they are non-rational, and opposition is seen as evidence

1. The public sphere is an open space where citizens participate in free discussion and deliberation on matters of significance to society and its future, between the realm of government and commercial spheres.
2. An imagined community is constituted by a sense of shared identity and membership in a group, as well as of "others" outside the group, even though members will never meet most other members. A nation is an example of an imagined community.
3. "Old" media had a centripetal effect by providing a common frame of reference through scarce media choices, while "new" media have a centrifugal effect by allowing users to choose media according to diverse personal interests from abundant options.

States can use popular culture to further their interests and security, especially during times of war when popular culture is used as propaganda to portray the nation as heroic and its enemies as villains, legitimizing the use of hard power. Popular culture also plays a role in constituting world politics by constructing perceptions of other nations, states, and groups over time. Courtney Brown divides the relationship between music and politics into two methodological camps: representational, which focuses on overtly political messages in music, and associational, which focuses on how music is used in media events to engage with political causes. The concept of "media events" originally referred to live broadcasts that interrupted daily life and integrated societies, but recent studies suggest they may
1. News organizations act as gatekeepers by deciding which events to cover and exclude from coverage. This gatekeeping role gives them the power to shape public awareness and priorities, known as agenda setting.
2. Witnesses to events, like wars, share their stories through established media or their own channels. Audiences then become active witnesses by discussing and sharing the stories they hear.
3. Witnessing does not necessarily mean being objective, as witnesses like journalists and those directly involved may have biases. Their credibility depends more on appearing trustworthy since we cannot control for their objectivity.

1. Middle region behavior occurs when those appearing on media become aware of being viewed and adapt their behavior accordingly.
2. Mediality refers to how our perception of reality is based on media texts, which are representations of reality open to various interpretations depending on one's culture and background.
3. Semiology studies media texts as composed of signs made up of signifiers (means of presentation) and signifieds (represented meanings).

This document discusses key concepts related to media, politics, and international relations. It defines power, cyber power, soft power, and hard power. It outlines what public diplomacy and new public diplomacy refer to, including the role of non-state actors. It defines cultural imperialism as the exploitation and domination of small countries by powerful transnational companies. It explains framing as the process of selecting and representing events or aspects of reality to produce meaning. Finally, it explains vectors in the context of media and international relations as the trajectories along which information can pass, such as satellite technology used to communicate information about war.

This document contains questions from a quiz on media and politics in 2017. It discusses key concepts such as the difference between general media and artificial/technological media, media determinism perspectives that technology primarily drives social change, how media texts represent rather than mirror the world through choices in production, the differences between mediation which refers to media being the dominant communication channel and mediatization which is the process of political communication becoming increasingly adapted to media logic. It also summarizes that Hoskins and O'Loughlin refer to "diffused war" as the conduct of war becoming mediatized through new non-state actors using media and reports potentially delegitimizing government actions, making the consequences and relations between actions less predictable.

Editor's Notes
Hvorfor aksepterer da stater likevel å ”tape”? ” Skyggen av framtiden” Side payments og pakkeløsninger Stater tilpasser seg hverandre, av frykt for at noen trekker seg helt ut. Organisasjonen endrer den enkelte stats handlingsvilkår, slik at det har lite for seg å stå utenfor lkevel. Sosialisering o glæring; en endrer sine egne preferanser
