- The concept of the Media Welfare State describes Nordic specificity in how media are organised and how they serve a lively and inclusive democracy. This article engages in a dialogue in regards to the contention that this media system has persisted in the midst of rapid social change. We synthesise previous research and documented changes in media policy in Sweden, covering the last three decades, to show the ways in which the Swedish media system has undergone significant transformations. Media use is becoming more polarised and connected to social class. The state is retreating from its involvement in media policy; consequently, the press and public service media are facing unprecedented challenges. Finally, the “consensual” relation between media companies and the state, which is said to be typical for the media welfare state, no longer characterises the media market. While some of the features of the media welfare state system remain in Sweden, the current media system is best characterised as a neoliberal media welfare state. The article discusses tensions and conflicts in the existing model and possible future developments.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research has neglected media audiences’ and citizens’ opinions on how the media should be organized, how they should function in society and what individual, corporate and state responsibilities should be in regard to these questions. In an attempt to understand the relationship between citizens’ broader political attitudes and their attitudes on media-related politics and responsibilities, this study uses a survey (n = 2003) of the adult Swedish population to investigate the distribution of a range of media political attitudes in the contemporary space of political positions. The results reveal overlaps between the space of media political attitudes and the broader political space, where support for a Nordic ‘media welfare state’ corresponds to leftist and GAL-oriented values, while TAN-oriented and right-wing attitudes link to scepticism towards state interventionism in the media landscape. A small but highly opinionated right-wing and TAN-oriented segment displays laissez-faire views on media policy that are reflected in current policy propositions from right-wing political parties in parliament.

Normative foundations of media welfare : Perspectives from the Nordic countries

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- What does media welfare mean from a normative perspective? The notion of media welfare and “the media welfare state” has mainly been used descriptively, to depict the particular way in which the media are organized in the Nordic welfare states. In this article, we explore media welfare from a normative perspective. Our intention is to open up a discussion about the normative and political implications of the notion of media welfare and to bring the concept into the contemporary discussion on normative perspectives regarding the media.

Digitalizing the journalistic field : Journalists' views on changes in journalistic autonomy, capital and habitus

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bourdieu-inspired journalism scholarship, and journalism studies at large, could benefit from an approach that can holistically explain how journalists make sense of technology-related change in the journalistic field. By merging key insights from field theory with philosophy of technology, and by analyzing 40 qualitative interviews with agents across a wide range of positions in the Swedish journalistic field, we uncover how journalists view technological change in relation to the field's autonomy, capitals and habitus. At the macro-level, the analysis shows how technology is constructed in the journalistic field at large, indicating a digital heteronomy. At the meso-level, findings indicate that positions become rearranged when new skills such as metrics and engagement management become collectively recognized as capital. Field-specific, journalistic, capital is supplemented with a virality capital. At the micro-level, we unravel an emerging journalistic habitus formed in relation to structural transformations in the field – the feel for engagement.

Looking for the ironic spectator, or the limits to media-centric approaches to cosmopolitanization and proper distance
- 2014

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The growing literature on imagined cosmopolitanism (Schein, 1999), mediated cosmopolitanism (Rantanen, 2005; Robertson, 2010; Skrbis & Woodward, 2013), a global imagined community (Poster, 2008), a global imaginary (Orgad, 2012) and mediated humanitarianism (Chouliaraki, 2013) suggests that a cosmopolitan opportunism may be gaining foothold in media studies. In this context, the extent to which various mediated appeals to the moral sensibilities of Western publics generate support for distant others on the lesser side of “the global” has become a key concern in contemporary media studies. With a few important exceptions in which actual audiences are studied (e.g. Höijer, 2004; Kyriakidou, 2011; Scott, 2013a), the methodological bias in the field of “media and morality” favors the study of the power of text (Ong, 2009; see also Joye, 2013). The epistemological tendency is, subsequently, to locate a globalizing or cosmopolitanizing agency in the media themselves. By way of the analysis of genres such as contemporary art (Papastergiadis, 2012), documentaries (Bondebjerg, 2013), specific news coverage (Chouliaraki, 2006; Moyo, 2010; Orgad, 2012), socially networked humanitarian campaigns (Madianou, 2013), or mediated concerts and celebrity (Chouliaraki, 2013), the cosmopolitan is understood as “brought forth” by the media through their messages. In this strand of research, the work of Chouliaraki (2006; 2013) has come to occupy the center of the stage (Franks, 2012; Joye, 2013; Ong, 2013; and Scott, 2013b). By way of a critical reading of Chouliaraki’s most recent contribution to the field of “media and morality” - The Ironic Spectator: Solidarity in the Age of Post-Humanitarianism (ibid, 2013) - this paper discusses the consequences of a media-centric approach to understanding communication for social change in general, and the relation between media and cosmopolitanism in particular. Chouliaraki’s main argument is that certain changes in the “aesthetics of humanitarian communication” (her object of analysis) have turned Western publics into “ironic spectators”. As such, the “theatre” (the media) has largely failed to establish what Silverstone referred to as “proper distance” (2007). Firstly, we consider the implications of this approach for research on the cosmopolitan dispositions and actions of citizens of donor countries. Secondly, we turn to its implications for the communicative strategies of multilateral agencies and international NGOs towards engaging those citizens in morally and practically significant ways. We argue that there are limits to how much a media-centric approach can inform an understanding of audiences as citizens of the world, and favor instead a research agenda that studies audiences in their heterogeneity, as they orient themselves in a complex media landscape. Furthermore, we claim, in line with Ong (2013), that Chouliaraki’s call to improving the content of international NGOs’ appeals and news coverage falls short of linking the important debate around mediated proper distance that she forwards with a meaningful critique of the neoliberal project and its standard operating procedures as expressed at the interface between the international development system and the media industries in a context of financial crisis, austerity measures and concerns about waste and corruption in the delivery of aid (Glennie, Straw and Wild, 2012).

The media welfare state : A citizen perspective

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the last decades the Nordic media model has been challenged by neoliberal policy and welfare retrenchment. This study asks about the extent to which the values, functions and institutions of the “media welfare state” are supported by the adult Swedish citizenry, despite political mobilization against it. Drawing on a national survey (n = 2003) this study shows that the media welfare state is generally well-supported by the population. Using exploratory statistical analysis, we identify a media welfare state of mind. While widespread in the population, this attitudinal constellation is more common in older segments of the population, in the working-class, and by those who frequently use and trust public service media. The main conclusion is that support for the media welfare state primarily can be explained by political attitudes, where left-leaning and GAL-oriented individuals are more positive than people holding right-wing and TAN-attitudes.
