Throughout the week, our representatives participate in debates on topics such as artificial intelligence, trust in the media, freedom of expression, democracy, and the future of media life.

Our own event
On Wednesday, August 12, Aller Media and Ung Debatt invite you to a conversation about the future of media life – with questions from those who will actually live in it.

How do young people view journalism in an era where artificial intelligence, algorithms and social media compete for attention? Why should they seek out editorially controlled media when the answers can often be found in a chatbot? And who is responsible for building a media life they actually want to use?

Instead of adults discussing young people, we let young people ask the questions. Representatives from Aller Media, Dagbladet , VG, Google and TikTok meet young voices for an honest conversation about trust, relevance and the future media landscape.

When: August 12, 1:00 PM–1:45 PM
Where: The Little Duck Wing

We hope to see many of you there!
