The Nordic Media Literacy Survey maps how adults and young people across Nordic countries understand traditional and digital media’s role in democratic societies, their ability to critically assess content, and their confidence in navigating a complex digital landscape. The survey includes national perspectives on media literacy needs and progress. Below are some key takeaways, including country-specific insights on Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
Overall, Nordic societies share strong democratic media traditions—high press freedom, robust public service media, and comparatively high digital skills—but face common and country-specific challenges with social media credibility, misinformation, AI in media, and generational differences in use and trust. This brief outlines those findings and offers actionable policy recommendations to strengthen digital information literacy (DIL) as a cornerstone of democratic resilience.
