After the Tsunami : crisis communication in Finland and Sweden
- 2009
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia during Christmas 2004 caused many deaths among vacationers from Finland and Sweden. It could be described as one of the worst catastrophes experienced during the post-war period in these countries. This book examines how this dramatic and unexpected event affected public communication patterns and practices in countries like Finland and Sweden. The communicative relations between government actors, the media and citizens always significantly affect the development of crucial democratic values such as trust, accountability and legitimacy. The book covers different topics related to this issue, such as strategic political communication, media coverage, newsroom practices, public opinion and the use of new media in Finland and Sweden after the tsunami disaster.

Auditing Transformation: Regulation, Digitalisation and Sustainability
- 2023
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book identifies and discusses drivers of auditing transformation, including regulation, digitalisation, sustainability, and individual auditor characteristics. It provides a holistic perspective, discussing these current and highly relevant themes in depth and ‘one by one’ and also stresses the importance of the temporal dimension, i.e. offering a historical and a present-day perspective. The book covers several different theoretical perspectives when analysing and discussing how the various drivers affect auditors, the audit process, accounting firms, stakeholders, and so on. Sweden is used as a setting to study the effects of these drivers of transition. The Swedish experience is generalisable to other European countries, with a Germanic origin currently influenced by Anglo-American ideas of auditing. In addition, Sweden provides a research setting with unique access to empirical data. The monograph is unique in its broad coverage of drivers of transformation, combined with its clear focus on financial auditing. It is informed by a wide range of research approaches, from qualitative interview studies to recently developed machine learning methods. Readers, therefore, benefit from a comprehensive understanding of current changes in the audit industry. The book will be a useful reference work for students of accounting and auditing, as well as for audit practitioners, including both auditors and regulators, and for researchers.

Communicating Politics. Political Communication in the Nordic Countries
- 2008
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Modern politics is mediated politics, and the media constitute the most important source of information and channel of communication between the governors and the governed. Media and politics are thus inextricable linked together, with the media playing an important role in contemporary democracies and for political processes. While this is true for virtually all advanced democracies, there are still important differences between countries depending on, for example, their media systems and political systems. The purpose of Communicating Politics: Political Communication in the Nordic Countries is consequently to de-scribe and analyze both the political communication systems and cases of political communication processes in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Taken together, the chapters explore differences as well as similarities between the Nordic countries, and provide a broad view of political communication systems, practices and research perspectives in the Nordic countries.

Friluftsliv i förändring. Studier från svenska upplevelselandskap.
- 2014
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- »Vistelser i naturen handlar inte i första hand om trädslagsblandning, fiskevatten, naturreservat och fjälltoppar – de utgör bara arenan. Vistelser i naturen handlar om människor!« Friluftsliv är en central del av det svenska upplevelselandskapet. Nästan 90 % av svenska folket vistas ute i naturen ganska eller mycket ofta. Med denna bok fördjupas friluftslivets förutsättningar och framtid med hjälp av resonemang om vad friluftsliv är och en uppsjö av intervjuer med tillfrågade friluftsutövare. Författarna undersöker bland annat rådande friluftstrender och barns möten med naturen, vilket väcker följdfrågor om friluftslivets roll för en hållbar utveckling. Boken beskriver hur våra liv förhåller sig till naturen såväl i ett vardagligt som ett mer akademiskt sammanhang. Vad innebär till exempel friluftsliv för förvaltning, ekonomi, naturturism och tätorternas människor? Antologin är en bearbetning av slutrapporten från forskningsprogrammet ”Friluftsliv i förändring” som pågick åren 2006–2013. De många vinklarna som presenteras över ämnet fördjupas av bokens 21 författare och friluftskännare som med en bredd tar sig an detta viktiga ämne som de flesta har ett förhållande till. Boken kompletteras dessutom med många natursköna illustrationer.

Media Accountability Today... and Tomorrow. Updating the Concept in Theory and Practice
- 2008
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Tony Blair demands it, Reuters wants it, the Spokane Spokesman-Review practices some of it and scholars try to define it – media accountability. The need for media accountability was formulated more than 100 years ago and made manifest with codes of ethics and ”bureaus of accuracy”. The Hutchins Commission used the concept in 1947 as a way to avoid government prescription of media content. The practice of media accountability has since been fueled by market expansion, looser regulation of public service and a technological facilitation of media/public interaction. In March 2007 these issues were discussed in a two-day international conference at the School of Communication and Design, University of Kalmar, Sweden. Scholars gave overviews of Media Accountability Systems (MAS), media journalism, media blogs and the effects of market-driven journalism on media accountability. Practitioners presented cases dealing with victims of the media in the United Kingdom, news ombudsmen and media critique in Scandinavia, and transparency in Spokane, Washington, USA. To the presentations from Kalmar the conference-initiator Torbjörn von Krogh has added a background chapter on the origins and rise of media accountability and some thoughts on its future. He also offers a new working definition of media accountability, building on the work of European and North American scholars: Media accountability is the interactive process by which media organizations may be expected or obliged to render an account (and sometimes a correction and/or excuse) of their activities to their constituents. The values and relative strength of the constituents vary over time and are affected by media systems and media technologies. Includes following articles: Ten things i want community leaders to know about journalism. A former (external) Ombudsman at the spokesman-review teaches media literacy (Gordon S. Jackson), Chink in a stone wall. A presentation of a readers’ Ombudsman at Bergens Tidende, Norway (Terje Angelshaug), When readers wonder. A column in Bergens Tidende with a comment (Terje Angelshaug), Watching the watchdog-watching Dog. A call for active press-councils (Claude-Jean Bertrand), “Constructive criticism” vs public scrutiny. Attitudes to media accountability in and outside Swedish news media (Torbjörn von Krogh), and Final words – new starting points (Torbjörn von Krogh).
