- Right now, the world is engaging in finding strategies to reach the Sustainable Devel opment Goals (SDG), often called Agenda 2030. The global community of the United Nations agreed in 2015 on 17 goals and 169 sub-goals to reach economic, ecologic and social sustainability by 2030. Agenda 2030 is an important landmark that is hoped to involve all countries and sectors of society. However, the role of media and journalism is not really part of the equation. In fact, the word ‘media’ is not mentioned at all in the resolution, nor is ‘freedom of expression’ or ‘freedom of the press’. At the same time, the resolution reaffirms the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the portal text. This extended abstract from a panel discussion at the Nordmedia conference in Tampere 2017 focus on the absence of media issues in Agenda 2030. It also addresses the media research and the ageing population and the lack of sex-disaggregated data on the media.
