The Don Quixote of youth culture : media use and cultural preferences among students in Estonia and Sweden
- 2005
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How should youth culture be understood in the globalised world of today? How do patterns of cultural taste develop in societies undergoing fundamental change? This book presents a comparative analysis of media use and cultural preferences among students at the University of Tartu in Estonia and at Södertörn University College in Sweden. In some respects, the patterns found in the two countries converge, in others they diverge. Explanations for this are to be found both in the present living conditions and in social norms from the past.

Reading tabloids : tabloid newspapers and their readers
- 2007. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Widely read and highly controversial, tabloid newspapers are often criticized for sensationalizing, trivializing and simplifying journalism. At the heart of debates about media standards, they continue to cause concern about the impact of popular news formats on society at large. Yet, there is little research into how tabloid newspapers are viewed by their readers. Why are they popular? What do readers think about tabloid scandals and sensationalism? What is the attraction of celebrity stories? Do readers trust tabloid news coverage?Reading Tabloids examines British tabloid newspapers from an audience perspective. Drawing on focus groups and interviews with readers of the popular tabloids the Sun and the Daily Mirror, as well as incorporating a textual analysis of the two papers, it explores how interpretations take place in an everyday inter-play between the newspapers and their readers. The book offers a new perspective on tabloid journalism, of value to those interested in the press, the news media and popular culture in contemporary society.

Symboliska platser i kunskapssamhället : internet, högre lärosäten och den gynnade geografin
- 2008
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Universitet och högskolor ses som viktiga symboler, "motorer" och "kärnverksamheter" i dagens medialiserade kunskapssamhällen. Högre lärosäten beskrivs ofta, precis som medier, som länkar mellan det lokala, nationella och det internationella. Den här studien tar avstamp i tre lärosätens engelska webbplatser för att studera hur de profileras och länkas till andra sammanhang. De tre lärosätena representerar platser inbegripna i dynamiska förändringsprocesser: Södertörns högskola utanför Stockholm, universitetet i Tammerfors i Finland och Tartu universitet i Estland. Vilka geografier öppnar sig utifrån lärosätenas webbplatser? Skapar den gynnade geografin specifika förståelser av de olika platserna? Kan framställningen av platserna kopplas till vissa rumsliga aktiviteter som underlättas genom kommunikationsteknologin Internet? Och vidare, kan detta i så fall kasta ljus över de traditionella mediernas betydelse som samhällsinstitution?Patrik Åker är lektor i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kultur och kommunikation, Södertörns högskola.

How do mainstream media communicate minority media? : A difference-theoretical study on Radio Islam and AYPA-TV
- 2009. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What is necessary for minority media to be picked up on the radar of mainstream media? This report analyses Swedish media coverage of the Stockholm-based Radio Islam, and German media coverage of the Berlin-based AYPA-TV. Analysis is given from a difference-theoretical point of view, as developed by Niklas Luhmann. The case of Radio Islam, the repeatedly banned – for its broadcasts of hate – community radio station, takes its rightful place in Swedish history. It received intense media attention in the 1990s and provokes reaction even today. The second case, that of the local German-Turkish AYPA-TV, was not covered by the mainstream media to the same degree, but met the media’s criteria for being unusual. What caused these two cases to be taken on by the mainstream media?
