Socio-economic impact on the digital child : Preliminary findings from the "Kids, media and socio-demographics 2014/15" report
- 2015
-
Ingår i: NordMedia 2015.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This extended abstract presents unique additional data from an upcoming publication in the ongoing project Kids & media (2014/15), conducted by Swedish Media Council (2015). The analysis is based on the findings in the largest quantitative study on children’s media use in Sweden. The study includes 4903 respondents selected from a random sample of all children and parents residing in Sweden. The abstract includes data and analysis dealing with children’s possession of and access to media technology, how they use it and why. Moreover it covers several explorative multivariate analyses of demographic divides covering children’s media use. The demographic analysis assesses the impact of family income, parents’ education levels, and parents’ national background on children’s media possessions and practices. More specifically, this abstract describes the relationship between these socio-demographic variables and children’s access to media technology, extent of media use and self-reflexivity in media activities.

Större våld än nöden kräver? : Medievåldsdebatten i Sverige 1980-1995
- 1998
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study is an attempt to analyze the social construction of media violence in the Swedish press debate 1980-1995. Altogether, 1029 articles from seven of Sweden's biggest daily and evening papers were qualitatively analyzed. Numerous claims refer to scientific 'proof' that media violence breeds personal aggression. However, a critical examination of the media effects research reveal that the alleged causal connection between violence in the media and real-life violence is the result of impaired data collection and/or improper methods of analysis. The analysis of the different claims about media violence uses the social problems construcivist theories as a point of departure. The descriptions of the objectionable media content usually has little in common with the actual films, videos and television programs available to the viewers. Claims-makers generally construct an image of the offensive media that stands in opposition to all that is considered 'good' or 'normal' — the films are described as 'brutal', 'sadist', 'racist', 'fascist' and 'sexist'. Several rhetorical techniques are used in the construction of media violence as a social problem, e.g. metaphors, extreme case formulations, contrasting devices and consubstantiations — the claim that different phenomenon basically are one and the same, most apparent in the claim that violence and pornogragphy are the same. Several different models for the conveying of media content to the audience, the alleged effect of this convayance and suggested actions regarding media violence are discerned. The study concludes with a summary of alternative causes as to why most people find media violence such a threatening phenomena.

Media life and everyday negotiations : New (and old) conflicts in digital family life
- 2015
-
Ingår i: NordMedia 2015.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The mediatization of everyday life implies that media practices increasingly (re)shape social relations within family life (Clarke, 2014). Devices such as the smart phone and the tablet computer have become mundane tools, integrated in most children’s everyday life. An intricate repertoire of media practices reshape family relations and create new, and reinforce old, family conflicts. However, despite the rapid change in the social practices of children’s life, as a result of a more advanced media use, there is surprisingly little research on media related family conflicts. A growing body of scholarly work highlights the impact and consequences of children’s digital media use, but the amount of empirical studies that actually assess family conflict as an object of inquiry are few. In an attempt to fill this research gap, this paper aims to assess how children and parents view and deal with conflicts associated with children’s increasingly advanced media use in relation to contemporary family life. The analysis is based on survey data from 1597 children in Sweden. Moreover, the paper also includes an analysis of more than 30 qualitative interviews with children and parents. The paper highlights the implications of new (and old) media use of children in relation to the family context – scrutinizing both children’s and parents’ perspective on conflicts and conflict negotiations in everyday life situations. The paper includes a theoretical framework for the study, findings from the large scale quantitative data, and a preliminary analysis from the qualitative interviews with parents and children.

Youth and news in a digital media environment. Nordic-Baltic perspectives
- 2018
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ongoing digitalization has fundamentally transformed the entire media landscape, not least the domain of news. The blurring of previously sharp distinctions between production, distribution and consumption have challenged the established news industry and brought into question long-held assumptions of what journalism is or should be, who is a journalist and how we define, consume and use “news”. This anthology aims to shed light on the implications of these transformations for young people in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It focuses on three themes: youth participating in news and information production; news production by established media organizations and novel information providers aimed at children and youth; news use among youth. Taken together, the chapters illustrate the complexity of news use among youth and offer some rather different examples of strategies that news organizations might consider for reaching young people with news – or involving them in the production of news. Furthermore, the book might serve as a basis for reflecting on the urgent, but cumbersome, area of media and information literacy in these media saturated times. Youth and News in a Digital Media Environment consists of contributions from Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Estonia, written by scholars and people working in the media industry. The target audience of this book is students, professionals and researchers working in the field of journalism, media and communication studies, children and youth studies, media and information literacy and digital civic literacy. The book is edited by Yvonne Andersson and Ulf Dalquist at the Swedish Media Council and Jonas Ohlsson at Nordicom. It has been funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
