What are the keys to being good at your work? I participated today in a greatly interesting webinar about strategic communications and comms in general. (Thank you, Valoria Oy! 🎉) Anna Lauttamus-Kauppila talked about the keys to being a professional in communications, but I believe many of them ease the work in all fields. ✨ Stay curious 🤝 Network within the company and outside These were some of my favorite takeaways, but the one that resonated most deeply with me was: Look for the new, suggest boldly, and broaden wisely. This advice encapsulates everything, especially when working in communications. Let me break down my thoughts on this: 🔍 Look for the new: There are always new tools, ways, processes, launches, projects, and people emerging. It is a priority to stay in the loop. 💡 Suggest boldly: Share your knowledge and bring your ideas to light. 🌱 Broaden wisely: Not every new tool, idea, or process should be implemented immediately. Discuss and choose wisely. Also, Cimcorp Group, watch out—new ideas are on the way! 🚀 #inspiration #strategycommunication #communication #work #goodatwork

Does your media house have an "AI Buddy Reader"? At Adresseavisen, we are excited to share how we are enhancing our journalism through our own "AI Buddy Reader" and how this and other innovative tools made in other newsrooms are being shared across Polaris Media ASA. So happy to be able to share our thoughts about AI in the Newsroom with Arnt Christian Wolden and Lars Adrian Giske, in this story on m24.no. Still wondering what the "AI Buddy reader" does? This AI-powered tool, integrated into our CMS, performs an initial review of reporters' stories. It proofreads, checks for errors, suggests structural improvements, and "continually adds new features every day". (We're never finished with this tool, and good suggestions keep coming in from reporters!) When we share tools like the "AI Buddy Reader" across Polaris Media, numerous newsrooms within our network benefit - and we're fostering a collaborative environment. The same goes for when Lars Adrian Giske and Rune Ytreberg at iTromsø share their AI tools so broadly! 😘 An extra shout out to Annichen Woll Eide and Agne Ødegaard who are key to the success of the "AI buddy reader". And, since Lars Adrian Giske said it so well - here are his words about how we work together: One of the coolest things about being part of the AI work in Polaris Media ASA is that the work takes place out in the newsrooms, close to the journalists and the news. The fact that editorial freedom is one of the core values of the group is also a huge strength. We cannot force anyone to use our solutions, they must be good enough for the editors and journalists in each media house to see the value in them. It provides user focus.

We offer #communication guidelines for the Opponents on how to construct effective and appropriate #interaction in public defence, and help those granted the honour to prepare and conduct their duties competently.

Smile communication. The official photo of Finland's new President, Alexander Stubb, was published today and it's strikingly different from those of his predecessors. Instead of a rather grave approach, President Stubb's photo shows a happy emotion. Some may argue that a trusted leader should be very momentous at all times in order to be taken seriously. I however, believe that a happy leader builds trust, resilience, and gives people a positive outlook. After all, a leader who shows happiness is more approachable and relatable. I'm pleased to see this new, happy, leadership emerge. What do you think? #leadership #happiness #trustbuilding

Day 2 at #NORDEEP2024 and I found myself captivated by... problems. Maria Wasastjerna underlined the obvious sounding thing that you need to ask when commercialising technology: is the problem real? We get so enchanted by (deep) tech’s allure, we forget to crystallize & narrate the problem. And just like that, I started wondering about comms & brand building of complex technologies—should we be focusing more on the problem we’re solving, and less on the shiny solution?

#ICYMI 🇫🇮 Government has announced the Act on the Finnish Broadcasting Company will be amended to improve transparency on #publicbroadcaster Yle's operations and finance. 🤔 What is the purpose of these changes? The changes are meant to better prepare the Finnish #publicmedia to meet the needs of the future, with a goal of increasing operational efficiency and flexibility. Among the changes are a consolidation of the organisational structure and the abolition of the Sports and Events Unit. These structural reforms will take place in the fall. 🗣️ These changes take place as a parliamentary working group charged to decide on the future of Yle’s #funding cannot reach an agreement, shedding uncertainty on the financial condition of #PSM and its operations. 💭“With organisational changes, management structures are condensed and operational efficiency and flexibility are increased. The continuous development of digital services is of paramount importance in the future media environment, which is also tightened by the increasing possibilities of artificial intelligence,” - Merja Ylä-Anttila, CEO of Yle Read more ⬇️

🇸🇪 Swedish gaming operator AB Trav och Galopp says there remains a downward trend in the channelisation rate despite it stabilising in Q3. - https://lnkd.in/dKnrn7Xa ATG’s latest report puts the Swedish channelisation rate between 70 per cent and 82 per cent. Year-on-year, ATG’s estimated rate range has increased from between 68 per cent and 81 per cent. However, ATG noted that its forecast must be compared with the Swedish government’s target of 90 per cent. The operator said the unlicensed market is estimated to have a gross turnover of up to SEK150bn (£10.7bn). 🗣️ ATG CEO Hans Lord Skarplöth, who has criticised the gambling tax rise to 22 per cent, said it is "both unreasonable and counterproductive" to make "such high demands" of licensed companies when these "enormous sums escape regulation and control."

The Future of Journalism Award has been awarded to Nanna Schelde from the Danish innovative and successful news site Zetland. In connection with a ceremony for former Fellows at Constructive Institute at Aarhus Universitet and the Copenhagen Constructive Summit Nanna Schelde recieved the global Award, becsuse she has provided the most refined example of what constructive journalism can offer our profession. https://lnkd.in/gjWYVt-g She gets it for the persistence, the orderliness and the curiosity that light up the turbulent media sea of ​​our time as a lighthouse of our profession. The series "Sluk mens legen er god" is the most innovative and consequential piece of journalism in 2023. For many years, the template has seemed simple for journalism that can win peer recognition. Most journalism Awards go to uncovering a scandal with a clear villain, identifiable victims and clear consequences, preferably in the form of dismissals of those responsible. This kind of journalism continues to deserve praise. Because it is important. But in a time when more and more people are turning their backs on traditional journalism, it is crucial that our profession also gets other role models to navigate by. Some who dare to challenge the usual reporter models, the normal angles and the stereotypical templates for what our profession can and wants. If we do as we usually do, we will probably get the results we usually get. And the pressure on traditional news media and their opportunities to do thorough and time-consuming journalism indicate that it is time for new thinking. Such an innovator is Nanna Schelde. Her series of articles on children's use of screens is an excellent example of what genuine journalistic curiosity, persistence, user involvement, passionate storytelling, solution orientation and the combination of critical and constructive thinking can create in engagement and consequences. Hardly any story has hit as cleanly into the unspoken concerns of families with children, teachers, psychologists and pedagogues as Nanna's in 2023. And hardly any piece of journalism has that quickly created so many reactions and triggered such big changes in rules, codes and behavior as Nanna Schelde's mission in a partnership with Zetland members to find out if her ten-year-old daughter should have a smartphone like all the others in the 4th grade school class. The reporter becomes the readers' best friend who stands by and investigates with or for the other parents who feel powerless The Future of Journalism Award has previously been awarded to Swedish Radio, British The Guardian, Polish Outriders and the American TV-Ststion KXAN. #WNMC24 WAN-IFRA, the World Association of News Publishers International News Media Association (INMA) European Broadcasting Union (EBU) #dkmedier #dkpol I

Information about artists with foreign background in Finland is available from various sources; however, differences among these sources make it challenging to obtain a comprehensive overview. Cupore’s recent report highlights that the Finnish cultural policy knowledge base, overall, has limited capacity to recognize issues related to population diversity. #culturalpolicy
