The book “Archival Research for Journalists”

The book “Archival Research for Journalists”

explores the potential of archival research as a journalistic approach. It examines Norwegian and international archives, explaining digital access to them, the tools available, and access rights. News is not just about what happens here and now; good journalism is equally important in uncovering previously unknown connections. To master this, you must master in-depth work techniques with a variety of sources. This book can serve as a practical guide or inspiration for anyone who wants to improve their skills in exploring sources beyond those contacted by phone or social media. It contains numerous examples of the effective and creative use of archival materials and includes summaries of some important archives at the end.
