Hello all!
Thanks to all who attended our events for a great week in Oslo, and thanks to everyone who wasn’t there for logging into the site to keep up with all the news.
We more than doubled our membership during the Contest week!
Could we ask all of you a favour: we would like to keep track of media activity about the ERN and/or about individual members’ work as ESC researchers that has recently appeared, as well as any media activity that our members have themselves generated. Could you therefore comment on this post with listings (hopefully including web links) to any such activity?
This will be particularly useful from those of you who work outside the English language, because it’s difficult for us to track non-English activity.
Here are some that I know of to get the ball rolling:
Financial Times (http://tinyurl NULL.com/3acnz4z) feature (http://tinyurl NULL.com/3acnz4z) about Eurovision in the time of austerity
Guardian (http://tinyurl NULL.com/349sptm) blog (http://tinyurl NULL.com/349sptm) on the same topic
BBC blog (http://tinyurl NULL.com/2ws9bjj) on the same topic (do we see a pattern forming)?
Sydney Morning Herald (http://tinyurl NULL.com/37lxvqx) (http://tinyurl NULL.com/37lxvqx)feature about guess what
Dutch newspaper feature (http://www NULL.gelderlander NULL.nl/specials/songfestival/6746315/Wetenschappelijke-studie-naar-het-Songfestival NULL.ece)about Eurovision research
English-language German newspaper feature (http://tinyurl NULL.com/2umdnhd)about the Lena phenomenon
Article about Eurovision research in the Norwegian broadsheet Aftenposten (http://www NULL.aftenposten NULL.no/meninger/kronikker/article3666450 NULL.ece) (one of three about our work published during Eurovision week!)
My Irish Times (http://tinyurl NULL.com/33vqqwv)preview piece (http://tinyurl NULL.com/33vqqwv)about why Eurovision mattered more to Ireland this year (OK, OK, it’s the same angle as everyone else…)
My analysis in the (http://tinyurl NULL.com/39tnky3)Irish Times (http://tinyurl NULL.com/39tnky3) of the results
We look forward to hearing from you about coverage you may know about!
Thanks
Karen (and Phil and Toni)

The ERN got very good coverage in the largest Norwegian newspaper, Aftenposten:
“Alltid uforustigbar” (Always unpredictable). Article by Toni, Karen and Phil translated into Norwegian, available online at:
http://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kronikker/article3666450.ece (http://www NULL.aftenposten NULL.no/meninger/kronikker/article3666450 NULL.ece)
Reports from both the events in Aftenposten (paper only) on May 28. and May 29.
Finally, Culture Editor Knut Olav Åmås sums up the previous week’s culture events on May 31, with a nice mention of ERN and the importance of the research, and questioning the lack of attention from other newspapers at the ERN seminar. Available at:
http://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kommentatorer/aamaas/article3672134.ece (http://www NULL.aftenposten NULL.no/meninger/kommentatorer/aamaas/article3672134 NULL.ece)

Unfortunately no print from me this year although I did manage to plug the ERN on Radio Scotland on May 26th. The link was only available for seven days so apologies for this pretty lame response!
Well done to everyone involved!
