BarentsObserver is the only Norwegian based news provider in the network aimed at exchanging news and voicing stories of communities and people living working, or researching the Arctic. By joining the collaborative partnership, we will bring you more Arctic related articles in a time when global eyes look north.
Eye on the Arctic is initiated and co-ordinated by Radio Canada International.
Partnership discussions between BarentsObserver and Eye on the Arctic started earlier this year after we were introduced to the concept by the Anchorage-based online news-service Alaska Dispatch. Other partners are YLE in Finland, Radio Sweden, Alaska Public Radio Network and individual bloggers. All participating media organizations publish in English.
From now, you will from time to time find articles in our Arctic section here in the English pages of BarentsObserver that are written by reporters from participating media around the top of the world.
We will still have a dedicated focus towards the Barents Region and the European, Russian part of the Arctic, but we believe important circumpolar topics like the climate changes’ impact on the Arctic, petroleum- and other resource developments and high north research are of common interest for all readers.
Articles written by our highly skilled observers here at the news desk in Kirkenes in northern Norway will from now on also frequently be published at the portal of Eye on the Arctic or at the other network participants’ publications.
