GEMINI was named Norway’s best
external company magazine in 2004 by the Norwegian Communication
Association. Nearly 100 magazines took part in the competition.
The editors Nina
Tveter and Åse Dragland (picture)
is quite pleased by the statement of the jury: «This year’s
best external company magazine has done an extremely good job of
putting technical topics into a broader context.
The subjects
are made interesting and relevant, because they are set in specific,
immediate human co texts. Good, thorough journalism and pleasure
in telling a story well are the best way of spreading the news about
research.»
