Nina Bull Jørgensen is a seasoned journalist and communications specialist with experience spanning Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK), the United Nations, and Norad. Her reporting has taken her across the Nordic region, Afghanistan, Mozambique, and beyond — with a focus on women’s rights, freedom of speech, religion, poverty, and global development.

In this episode, she unpacks the challenges of modern journalism, the growing role of media manipulation, and what it means to maintain independence in a polarized world. Nina also reflects on her time reporting from conflict zones, representing Norway on the global stage, and how storytelling can build bridges between cultures.

Topics discussed include: – Media manipulation and public trust
– Government influence on the press
– The future of independent journalism
– How media shapes public perception
– Lessons from a career in international reporting

A deep dive into truth, narrative, and the power of storytelling in the modern age.
