The situation was marked by intense media coverage, with narratives often influenced by political affiliations and editorial stances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The 2022 Ukrainian Refugee Influx:<\/strong>\u00a0Following the escalation of conflict in Ukraine, a substantial number of Ukrainian refugees sought safety in Poland. Media representations during this time varied, reflecting differing perspectives on the crisis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The study analyzed content from selected media outlets, examining how political leanings and editorial policies influenced the framing of these events. The findings suggest that media polarization significantly impacted public discourse, potentially affecting societal attitudes toward refugees and migration policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Implications for Media and Society<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Understanding the media&#8217;s role in framing such crises is crucial, as it influences public opinion and policy-making. The research presented shed light on the necessity for balanced and nuanced reporting, especially in situations involving vulnerable populations and cirises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For a more comprehensive understanding of this research, the full article is available in the\u00a0<em>Horyzonty Polityki<\/em>\u00a0journal:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/horyzontypolityki.ignatianum.edu.pl\/HP\/article\/view\/2547\">https:\/\/horyzontypolityki.ignatianum.edu.pl\/HP\/article\/view\/2547<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Photo from the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fota-z-ICA-1024x509.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fota-z-ICA-980x487.jpg 980w, https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fota-z-ICA-480x239.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March 2024, during the International Communication Association (ICA) Regional Conference in Warsaw, Prof. Anna Jupowicz-Ginalska presented a paper titled\u00a0&#8222;Polish Borders: Media Polarization and the Portrayal of Refugee Crises at the Borders with Belarus (2021) and Ukraine (2022).&#8221;\u00a0This presentation, grounded in the findings of the &#8222;Managing Newsroom Diversity&#8221; project, delved into how Polish media outlets [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The workshop titled \u201cUnity in Diversity! Cultivating Inclusive Excellence\u201d was sponsored by the Media, Management, and Transformation Center (MMTC), with Dr. Sumaya Hashim, Prof. Leona Achtenhagen, and Katarina Bl\u00e5man leading the charge. Greta was also involved in the workshop\u2019s planning and witnessed the behind-the-scenes process of this event coming together. It was a great experience to witness a community of engaged colleagues working together with warmth and laughter to make a truly unique event come together.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Dr. Gober presented the project on behalf of herself and Prof. Anna Jupowicz-Ginalska. The talk, titled \u201cFrom Polyphony to Epistemology: Rethinking Newsroom Diversity,\u201d argued that while including diverse voices (polyphony) enriches newsrooms, a deeper challenge remains: leveraging this diversity to enhance the knowledge base of journalism itself (epistemology).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The talk was delivered during the first session, which besides Greta featured Anna M\u00e5rtensson, a public prosecutor and educator from J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, and Anna Edstedt, Head of Q By Consid, and a very patient and wise facilitator, Dr. Joaqu\u00edn Cestino from MMTC. The time the team took to prepare for the session \u2014 patiently learning about each other's work, to understand how their contributions aligned \u2014 was a true showcase of the session\u2019s title \u201cInnovation Unleashed: The Power of Inclusive Organizing.\u201d We all loved the experience, as it truly exemplified the collaborative spirit and innovation that can be achieved through inclusive organizing!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the second session on \u201cThe New Workforce Paradigm in the Nordics: Navigating Diversity for Success,\u201d Rosa A. Indenbaum generously shared her wisdom, experience, and very concrete tools she uses to manage a truly diverse team at Trase - Intelligence for sustainable trade (without a dedicated budget \u2013 she stressed). Rosa reminded everyone that diversity and inclusion start with self-awareness and unlearning. Sandra Subel, who came to J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping all the way from Berlin, shared her experience and successes from the large-scale DEIB work she has been involved with as Global Head of D&amp;I Strategy with Axel Springer. The session was moderated by Prof. Timur Uman from MMTC.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The third session on \u201cInvesting in Diversity: A Blueprint for an Inclusive Economy\u201d featured two powerful presenters: Nora Bavey, a General Partner and Co-founder of Unconventional Ventures (UV) Accelerator - First digital accelerator for diverse founders, and Evelina Anttila, Founder &amp; Investor Wellstreet, VC firm dedication to their partners, and commitment to sustainability. A very illuminating session, where the speakers argued why we need financial ecosystems that support diverse founders. The session was moderated by Dr. Anna Nord\u00e9n from JIBS.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The day started with a pre-recorded talk from Paulina Brandberg, Minister for Gender Equality and Working Life. The talk was titled: \u201cWomen\u2019s Wallets: A Speech on Economic Equality and Action.\u201d All three main assumptions made by the Minister were challenged by the discussant, Prof. Helene Ahl from the School of Education and Communication, J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping University, who argued with the support of data why the debate on gender and entrepreneurship needs innovation to escape the dead end it currently finds itself in. Dr. Emilia Florin Samuelsson from MMTC moderated the session.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Keynote session featured Petter Bj\u00f6rkeb\u00e4ck from The Village, JIBS Practitioner in Residence, who building on his years of work for IKEA as Senior People &amp; Culture Leader delivered a talk on \u201cInclusive design \u2013 Nothing is Neutral.\u201d The session also featured Dr. Marcela Ramirez Pasillas and was moderated by Dr. Thomas Cyron, both from MMTC.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The key takeaway from the event: while most of us agree that in order to thrive and grow as individuals, companies, or societies, we need people who are different from us to challenge us and reveal the world's complexity and beauty, we must now understand what inclusion truly entails. The workshop provided that much needed platform to start insightful discussions, share practical tools, and new perspectives on fostering diversity, inclusion, and innovation across various industries, emphasizing the transformative power of collaborative and inclusive approaches in navigating today's complex societal and organizational landscapes.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pictures below and a short video from the event, prepared by <strong>Oskar Elvin<\/strong>, can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Qn2L9_nmI0U?si=8Eu8I0kJBXnOQ3jH\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Qn2L9_nmI0U?si=8Eu8I0kJBXnOQ3jH\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gallery {\"linkTo\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\"><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:gallery -->\n\n<!-- wp:group {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:columns -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"100%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\"><!-- wp:gallery {\"linkTo\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":2879,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/jonkoping-4-1024x473.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2879\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":2887,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Jonkoping-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2887\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":2888,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Jonkoping2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2888\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":2891,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Jonkoping-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2891\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:gallery --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:columns -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><!-- wp:column -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:columns --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group -->","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-outreach"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3137"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3137"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3142,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3137\/revisions\/3142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managingnewsroomdiversity.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
