Mediatised local government: Social media activity and media strategies among local government officials 1989–2010
- 2016

Ingår i: Policy and politics. - 0305-5736 .- 1470-8442. ; 44:1, s. 59-77

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article examines how local government officials in Sweden use social media and to what extent the emergence of social media has altered the relationship to conventional news media. The article examines the development of local government-media relations across time on the basis of a unique survey-based data set comparing the local political and administrative leadership’s media strategies in 1989 and 2010. The 2010 survey also included questions on how local officials in Sweden use social media in their work, that is, Facebook, Twitter and blogs. The results show that local officials have appropriated social media in their work, but only to a moderate extent. Local officials engage in social media if and when the local government becomes the target of social media scrutiny. Our study also demonstrates that social media have not replaced conventional media as a means of communication with constituencies. Indeed, officials who are active social media users have more contacts with conventional media compared to less active officials. Social media thus contribute to an intensification of the mediatisation of local governance rather than replacing conventional media in local political communication.

A history of Swedish broadcasting : communicative ethos, genres and institutional change / edited by Monika Djerf-Pierre & Mats Ekström
- 2013
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Broadcast communication has had a profound effect on modern society in the 20th and early 21st centuries. A growing international field of research has examined the historical development of broadcasting within various social and historical contexts, but also has made significant contributions to the understanding of media communication in general. Central topics in this discussion concern the relationships between technological innovations, institutional arrangements, social relations and culture. This book analyses the historical developments of Swedish broadcasting from the introduction of radio in the mid-1920s until the early 2000s. In relation to international research, it explores key aspects of how broadcast media emerged as a way to communicate over distance, connected to audiences, and evolved into central institutions and socio-cultural universes in society. The chapters are arranged in five thematic sections focusing on the invention and early development of radio and television, audience orientation, professional practices, broadcast genres, and institutional changes. The book derives from a large-scale research programme on Swedish broadcast history comprising about 50 studies and led by the “Swedish Foundation of Broadcast Media History”.

The scary world syndrome: News orientations, negativity bias, and the cultivation of anxiety
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Mass Communication & Society. - 1520-5436.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Negativity bias is one of the most salient features of news reporting. According to cultivation theory, this bias can foster anxiety about societal issues among news audiences. The relationship is, however, likely to depend on the audience’s news orientations and the issue under consideration. Drawing on a content analysis of mainstream and alternative news media and a three-wave panel survey, both conducted in Sweden, we examine how general and alternative news orientations relate to egotropic anxiety (worry about being personally affected or harmed) about violent crimes and climate change. The results show that while alternative news media portray violent crimes more negatively than mainstream news media, the opposite is true for climate change, which mainstream news media portray more negatively than alternative news media. Consistent with this finding, alternative news orientation is related to higher levels of anxiety about violent crimes, while general news orientation is related to higher levels of anxiety about climate change, illustrating how people seek information that concur with and thereby maintain or reinforce their beliefs. These results have consequences both for cultivation theory and for our understanding of the role played by mainstream and alternative news media in society.

After the Fires: The Role of Journalism in Post-Crisis Recovery
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Paper presented at the 6th European Communication Conference, Ecrea, in Prague 9-12 November 2016..
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper draws from an investigation into the dynamics of the media-policy nexus in the aftermath of a major environmental disaster, and in the context of politicised debate over global climate crisis. Through an examination of media coverage, the paper explores how fierce debate over bushfire protection policy was framed and made culturally meaningful, and thereby politically consequential, in the wake of the worst bushfire in modern Australian history. On February 7, 2009, bushfires of extreme ferocity swept through the hinterland near Melbourne in southeast Australia, resulting in the deaths of 173 people. This led to a Royal Commission amid intense debate over the use of prescribed burning to reduce bushfire hazard. Longitudinal analysis of local, state and national mainstream media coverage (2009-16) reveals blame games that targeted environmentalists and the government for allegedly opposing pre-emptive burning, and that near-silenced meaningful discussion of evidence of the impact of anthropogenic climate change on extreme weather events. This investigation into the Australian media’s constitutive and performative role in crisis response raises fundamental questions of claims-making, power and the democratic function of post-crisis journalism in holding power to account.

Fanning the Blame: Media Accountability, Climate and Crisis on the Australian “Fire Continent”
- 2018
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper raises questions of media coverage of “compounded crises” related to extreme weather disaster, in the context of urgent calls to address the implications of a changing climate. Through media analysis, it examines the ways debate over bushfire protection policy was framed and made culturally meaningful, thereby politically consequential, in the wake of the worst bushfires in modern Australian history, Black Saturday (2009). The fires, in which 173 people died, led to a Royal Commission and fierce debate over the use of prescribed burning to reduce bushfire hazard. Longitudinal analysis of local, state and national mainstream media coverage (2009–2016) reveals blame games that targeted environmentalists and the government, which near-silenced meaningful discussion of the complexity of fire science, impacts of climate change on weather conditions, and calls for adaptation. By exploring the media’s constitutive role in crisis response, the paper highlights the legacy and potency of ideological conflict that shapes the media-policy nexus in Australia.
