Media propaganda and human rights issues : What can be learnt from the former Yugoslavia's experience in relation to the current developments in the Arab Spring countries?
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recent history has proven that media propaganda can impact severely on human rights issues. This article aims at exploring what can be learnt from previous lessons in order to avoid the same mistakes happening again and/or to fight them more efficiently. It questions the experience of the former Yugoslavia in relation to the current developments in the Arab Spring countries. The propaganda theory is applied for an analysis of how the media were instrumentalized for political and nationalist goals under Milosevic’s regime. Through content discourse analysis, the techniques of media propaganda are described and analysed, and consequences are drawn. Although the situation varies from one case to another, widespread hate propaganda speeches in some Arab countries is a challenge to a successful political transition. This has been the case in Tunisia after the 2011 Revolution, where hatred messages have been widely spread by broadcast media and social networks. Propaganda theory has thus been applied to the specific case of broadcast television. The study shows that, contrary to some other countries, Tunisian society has its own peculiarities, and that it has succeeded in developing brakes that have reduced the scope and impact of propaganda messages of some extremist media. In view of past experiences, such as the former Yugoslavia or Rwanda, and in this context, this article also aims to demonstrate the full importance of the existence of quality public service media in the Tunisian case, and of an independent regulation of both traditional and social media. In its conclusion, this article also raises the question of social media regulation, which is all the more acute given that Tunisia is immersed in an environment where more and more hate content and stigmatization messages are developing.

Making e-Government Happen. Everyday co-development of services, citizenship and technology.
- 2003
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a joint research project concerning the use and design of IT in public services, we are using a simple figure of on-going, design-oriented interactions to highlight shifting foci on relationships of codevelopment of services, citzenship and technology. We bring together a number of concrete examples of this on-going everyday co-development, presented from the different perspectives that we, as researchers from different disciplines and traditions, represent in the project. The article explores and discusses wokring relations of technology production and use that we see as central to what is actually making e-government happen - or not happen. The main challenge in this area, as we see it, concerns making visible, and developing supportive infrastructures for, the continuing local adaptation, development and design in use of integrated IT and public services.

Action Research Changes in Local Journalism Projects : how to make it sustainable?
- 2021
-
Ingår i: 8th European Communication Conference Online, 6-9 september 2021.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- My contribution to the proposed panel is focusing on the potential of using participatory action research to contribute to the development of local journalism both locally but also in various policy contexts. By making visible and adress what agenda, all involved parties is driving fo their own purpose, is it then possible to define a common ground to develop, in order to achieve substantial changes. Does this make it possible to achieve more sustainable interventions on several levels i.e in a local working group, a community, an organization or at a public policy agency level? These different “power levels” are normally regarded as separated but can they also be regarded as a collaborative system? I propose that this issue need to be discussed and problematized in relation to the question on sustainability of action research. Does intervention always have to be located in a clearly delineated action research project or are there also possibilities to discuss "systemic change” and how different levels of interferences interact with one another? Based on a distinction between a pragmatic and a critical orientation in action research, which is presented in an article by Johansson & Lindhult (2008) is my aim also to initiate a discussion on whether a development- and action-oriented project design contribute to development and change of local journalism on more than one level - but also what ethical implications this normative stance may bring. This will be discussed in relation to findings within a Swedish research and development project, the Regpress Project II, addressing local journalism innovation. Local journalism in general is facing economic difficulties such as rapid declines in revenues. However in some areas of Sweden local journalism in traditional sense is still strong and forming a dynamic local news ecosystem, where local media seem to have found a way to balance their role as trust-anchor during rapid societal changes.

Aktiv på egna eller andras villkor : Hur blir man delaktig?

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- E-förvaltning, dvs offentliga e-tjänster, e-administration och e-demokrati har kommit att bli ett vanligt inslag i kommuners, landstings, myndigheters och medborgares vardag. Förvaltning och medborgarskap i förändring bidrar till att upprätta en dialog mellan pågående forskning och etablerad praxis inom området e-förvaltning. Kapitlet diskuterar hur medborgarskap, yrkesrolelr och delaktighet jämte stödjande teknik på en och samma gång kan tolkas som beständiga och anpassningsbara enheter. Vidare granskas hur samspelet mellan stabilitet och elasticitet ömsom öppnar och stänger för delaktighet utifrån exmeple hämtade konkreta utvecklingsprojekt som bedrivits inom offentlig sektor.

-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this book is to contribute to the development of a dialogue between ongoing research and established practice in the area of e-administration. Just as established practice consists of many different established pratices within the public sector , researchers who are interested and involved in the area of e-administration also represents a number of different perspectives and academic disciplines. This chapter is about development of e-participation as a part of e-government. The chapter discusses how active citizenship is co-constructed and shaped. Questions about how active citizenship is matched by "active politicianship" and active civil servant-ship are raised besides questions about what it means to become an active citize. Is it for example possible to become active by being deliberatively inactive in certain administrative processes? The discussion is based on combined development work and research in several projects within public sector.

Citizen-Driven Design : Leveraging Participatory Design of E-Government 2.0 Through Local and Global Collaborations.
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Case Studies in e-Government 2.0. Changing Citizen Relationships.. - Cham : Springer. - 9783319080819

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The goal of this paper is to present how citizen-driven design of e-government can be promoted through trans-local cooperation. Our case study consists of the Augment project, which focuses on the design of a mobile service for co-creation of local accessibility. Our approach is action research based in the Scandinavian tradition of Participatory design. Experiences from this project highlight issues concerning how to reconfigure the basis for design of public services. In order to cultivate spaces for citizen-driven design and local innovation, we made iterative use of global collaborations. In the initial phase, influences from R&D cooperation with India provided new spaces for participatory design practices. In the next phase, a proof-of-concept process allowed for broader local stake-holder involvement. In the third phase, the service concept was shared and expanded with partner regions in Europe through exchange of Best Practices. Currently, we are moving towards phase four, the commercialization process. Beyond the iterative design of the mobile service itself, and what trans-local collaboration contributed in this context, we also discuss reconceptualization of innovation as incremental change. We argue that transnational collaboration can be deliberately made use of for leveraging incremental change on a local level and strengthening regional innovation systems and practices.
