The World on Television Market-Driven, Public Service News
10.1515/nor-2017-0128 Nordicom Review 31 (2010) 2, pp. 31-45 The World on Television Market-driven, Public Service News Øyvind Ihlen, Sigurd Allern, Kjersti Thorbjørnsrud, & Ragnar Waldahl Abstract How does television cover foreign news? What is covered and how? The present article reports on a comparative study of a license-financed public broadcaster and an advertising- financed channel in Norway – the NRK and TV2, respectively. Both channels give priority to international news. While the NRK devotes more time to foreign news (both in absolute and relative numbers) than TV2 does, other aspects of the coverage are strikingly similar: The news is event oriented, there is heavy use of eyewitness footage, and certain regions are hardly visible. At least three explanations can be used to understand these findings: the technological platform (what footage is available, etc.) and the existence of a common news culture that is based on ratings and similar views on what is considered “good television”. A third factor is that both channels still have public service obligations. Keywords: foreign news, television news, public service Introduction The media direct attention toward events and occurrences in the world, and help to shape our thinking as well as our understanding of these events. The potentially greatest influ- ence can be expected to occur with regard to matters of which we have little or no direct experience. Foreign news is a prime example of an area where most of us are reliant on what the media report. Studies of foreign news have a long tradition (i.e., Galtung & Ruge 1965) and there is a vast body of literature focusing on the criteria for what becomes news (e.g., Harcup & O’Neill 2001; Hjarvard 1995, 1999; Shoemaker & Cohen 2006). -

Rolling News As Disruptive Change a Managerial Perspective on TV 2 and VG in Norway
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv Nordicom Review 33 (2012) 1, pp. 67-81 Rolling News as Disruptive Change A Managerial Perspective on TV 2 and VG in Norway Maria Theresa Konow Lund & Roel Puijk Abstract In the present article, we compare the models that the management in two leading com- mercial Norwegian media organizations, one with a foothold in the written press, Verdens Gang (VG), and one in television, TV 2, have used in dealing with the disruptive change in news caused by the introduction of rolling news. Both started with an experimental internal phase but later used different models to organize their news production. By establishing a spin-off, separate from the printed newspaper, VG retreated from synergies between online and offline productions, but gained by having two organizations dedicated to the processes and values of each medium. Their online services are financed by advertisements alone. The commercially financed television channel, TV 2, used an acquisition model, but encountered problems with integrating the parts. Today, their strategy involves a proliferation of digital TV channels, financed by a combination of advertisements and payment from viewers. Not only their Internet site, but particularly their 24/7 news channel Nyhetskanalen is a central element in the production of continous news. Keywords: convergence, continuous news, disruptive change, management Introduction Market leaders often experience difficulties adjusting to what Christensen and Overdorf (2000) call ‘disruptive change’. Implementing innovative activity in an area that requires not only investments but also changes in competencies, organizational processes and values is often difficult to realize within established organizations. -

What Will Be the Future for Local Broadcasting in Norway?1 Ilona Biernacka-Ligięza UNIVERSITY of OPOLE, POLAND UNIVERSITY of OSLO, NORWAY
What will be the future for Local Broadcasting in Norway?1 Ilona Biernacka-Ligięza UNIVERSITY OF OPOLE, POLAND UNIVERSITY OF OSLO, NORWAY ABSTRACT: In the era of the market-driven media, the digital transition and the ‘new media’ reign we should consider what will be the future of local broadcasting. First of all, we should look at the broadcasting legislation process – especially changes connected with the rules and privileges given to the local and community broadcasters. Second point worth consideration is the case of the tradi- tional local TV and radio stations in Norway. A few questions should be asked, for example: if the local TV/radio fulfi ls the local medium function; which is the dominant function for the local broad- casters; what will be the future of local TV/radio station; if web TV/radio replace traditional ones; what is the local programmes content etc. Th ird point which should be analyzed is the role of local TV and radio in creating local identity and local democracy. We should look at the local communication level from the wide perspective: relation global–local; globalization–glocalization. KEYWORDS: local radio, local TV, new media, broadcasting, WEB TV, Internet, society, glocaliza- tion, globalization INTRODUCTION Local media perform a linking function for displaced audiences in a global land- scape. Consumption of ‘home-based press’ in a foreign context is mainly a ritualistic cultural practice in securing personal identity, familiar formulations of cultural spaces, and communities of origin. Scientifi c research revealed that national me- dia allowed society to (re)produce situated identity marks menaced by globaliza- tion.
