Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Media business research has been growing rapidly in the Nordic region. In a highly internationalised field of research, is there a line of enquiry that is distinctively Nordic? Through an analysis of papers and articles presented at NordMedia or published in the two major journals, we summarize the main methodological, theoretical, and empirical characteristics of the Nordic contribution to the field.

The magnitude and political justification of VAT as an indirect media subsidy : A three-country comparison
- 2014
-
Ingår i: 2014.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While direct media subsidy schemes are under increasing pressure in media markets across the world the role of indirect tools, such as media taxation, is coming into focus. This paper studies the development of VAT as an indirect subsidy to the press. It does this through three longitudinal case studies of newspaper VAT development in Finland, Sweden and Norway. Though the states officially rarely acknowledge the value of the VAT benefits for the newspaper industry, this paper demonstrates how indirect subsidies have continued to grow in economic importance despite decreasing newspaper circulation. The paper suggests that this development is in line with a general move of the Nordic media systems toward the liberal model. Through a cross-country comparison of the differences in policy outcomes and their antecedents, the analysis identifies the role of two influential drivers – the driver for additional state revenues, and the driver for platform neutral solutions that promotes fair competition and innovation in the area of cultural products.

The shifting role of value-added tax (VAT) as a media policy tool : A three-country comparison of political justifications
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Javnost - The Public. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1318-3222 .- 1854-8377. ; 23:2, s. 170-187

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Media policy schemes around the world are seemingly shifting character. As budgets for direct subsidies are under increasing pressure, the role of indirect tools, such as tax reductions, are growing in relative importance. This article explores the political justifications of value-added tax (VAT) as a media policy tool, and how longitudinal shifts indicate broader changes in the media systems. Based on a document analysis of newspaper VAT development in three countries with similar historical policy models—Finland, Sweden and Norway—the article identifies and describes the dynamics between four major policy positions; transparency, pluralism, harmonisation and financial austerity.

Perceptions of Intra-Organizational Collaboration and Media Workers’ Interests in Media Innovations
- 2015
-
Ingår i: The Journal of Media Innovations. - 1894-5562. ; 1:2, s. 52-74
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article contributes with a unique quantitative study of newspaper executives’ perceptions of the interest and collaboration contained within digital media innovation among staff in the editorial, business and IT departments. Two research questions are explored: (1) Do newspaper executives perceive that there is diverging interest in digital media innovation across the editorial, business and IT departments of their organization? (2) Amid digital media innovation, and also in relation to the interest in such activities among departments, do newspaper executives’ perceive that the collaboration between members of editorial, business and IT departments has increased? The empirical analysis draws upon two surveys of Norwegian newspaper executives conducted in April 2011 and April 2013. Results show that the various explorations of digital media are not perceived to have fostered increased collaboration between the actors in the three departments. However, there was a significant relationship related to the size of newspapers measured by circulation: larger newspapers had higher scores on intra-organizational collaboration. Media workers involved in production (editorial staff of the newsroom) and sales (business department) are perceived to be significantly less interested in digital innovation work compared to their colleagues in the IT department. Multivariate analysis revealed the technologists perceived interest in change to be a key predictor for perceived change in intra-organizational collaboration. This indicates the important role of the IT department, in relation to the newsroom and the business department, for innovation relating to the production and distribution of news.
