Sammendrag
The Conclusion of this book is closely connected to Chapter 1. As expressed in
the Introduction, these chapters, serving as bookends, are designed to be read in
conjunction with each other. In this Conclusion, I reflect upon the six building
blocks of journalism innovation – resources, technology, organisation, management,
culture, and business model – while summing up the empirical chapters of the
book. In response to our overarching research question asking how Norwegian
news media responded to the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of innovation and
value creation, we have found that the crisis served as a catalyst for innovation, a
critical test of resilience, and an amplifier of value creation. Based on the insights
from our empirical studies, we conclude that the crisis stimulated renewal and
transformation, which changed – at least in the short term – how news media
operated and created value, economically as well as socially.
