  • Nordic Drama
    NORDIC DRAMA PUBLIC SERVICE ORIGINALS A stronger Nordic public service drama collaboration The Nordic public service media companies DR, NRK, RUV, SVT and Yle have in recent years been renowned for outstanding Nordic drama productions. High quality drama with a clear local anchoring and strong public service ambitions has become one of our distinguishing trademarks. To ensure that strong, local drama remains a trademark of the Nordic public service broadcasters in a digital world, the Nordvision partners have decided to build a stronger public service drama portfolio. A strengthening that will increase both the volume of Nordic drama that each company have available on their “players” as well as the quality of the publishing right the partners secure for each other. A clear focus on drama that reflects a Nordic culture, reality and identity fits naturally with the public service mission, and it provides a genuine and recognizable promise to the users that sets Nordic public service apart from other content providers. The initiative is called “Nordic Twelve” (N12). What is N12? N12 – is a yearly package of 12 Nordic drama series with 12 month of rights in the Nordic region. In the following you can find all the N12 drama series: N12 - 2018, N12 - 2019, and some drama series from N12 - 2020. The Nordic partners also co-produce between 8 and 10 young adult drama series a year.

  • Public Service Broadcasting As an Object for Cultural Policy in Norway and Sweden a Policy Tool and an End in Itself
    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 32 (2011) 2, pp. 35-47 Public Service Broadcasting as an Object for Cultural Policy in Norway and Sweden A Policy Tool and an End in Itself Håkon Larsen Abstract The future of public service broadcasting (PSB), and its role for democracy and culture in an age of globalization and digitalization, is a disputed issue among communication scholars, journalists, the general public and politicians. The PSB institutions are dependent on politi- cal support for their survival, and they have to live up to cultural policy obligations. The focus of this analysis is on the rhetoric employed in the white papers on PSB and overall cultural policy, produced between 2005 and 2007 in Norway and Sweden. The analysis shows that both countries emphasize the need to secure an inclusive public sphere, a vivid democracy and a national culture. The rhetoric differs in the sense that the Norwegian focus is on PSB as a tool for achieving cultural policy goals, while the Swedish focus is more on why the idea of PSB is important in itself. Keywords: public service broadcasting, cultural policy, media policy, cultural repertoire, Norway, Sweden Introduction Public service broadcasters have traditionally been strong media institutions in Scandi- navia. Today, the institutions are struggling to maintain their centrality and importance, as a result of the ongoing technological and economical development within the media landscape. The future of public service broadcasting (PSB) is a debated issue among scholars, politicians, journalists and the general public – “The new context of PSB has serious consequences for every aspect of its operations: for its mission, programming, organization and funding” (Bardoel and l’Haenens 2008: 342).

  • The Autonomy of Scandinavian Public Service Broadcasters During Election Campaign Periods Principles and Practices
    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 10.2478/nor-2013-0043 Nordicom Review 34 (2013) 1, pp. 63-76 The Autonomy of Scandinavian Public Service Broadcasters During Election Campaign Periods Principles and Practices Kjersti Thorbjørnsrud Abstract This comparative case study explores the formal and informal principles governing election formats produced by the public service broadcasters in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The focus is on external regulation vs. journalistic autonomy and on principles of balance and access. The conclusion is that the Scandinavian broadcasters, to a larger extent than broadcasters in other Western countries, independently control the form and content of their election formats. This journalistic autonomy, however, has brought about election formats governed by different principles of access. The Danish and Swedish formats are based on a moderate stopwatch logic, whereas the election formats in Norway center on criteria of audience appeal, resulting in a model of access disproportionately favoring certain political parties. The high degree of journalistic control of election formats in Scandinavia, paired with the low control of political parties encourage a discussion of some of the central premises in the Democratic Corporatist Model. Keywords: election coverage, regulation, journalistic autonomy, broadcasters, models of media and politics Introduction Debates between incumbents and their rivals and the journalistic interrogation of party leaders on TV during election campaign periods usually attract large audiences (Cole- man 2000). For broadcasters, these media events are attractive to organize, produce and transmit. For political leaders, the stakes are high when taking part in such formats, and they share an interest in influencing their form and content.

  • Eurodoc Executive Meeting – an Exclusive Meeting Platform for Documentary Executives and Commissioning Editors
    EURODOC EXECUTIVE MEETING – AN EXCLUSIVE MEETING PLATFORM FOR DOCUMENTARY EXECUTIVES AND COMMISSIONING EDITORS Tuesday, 2nd of October 2018 Geneva, Eurodoc for Executives CHANGE IN PUBLIC SERVICE PLATFORM CURATING – MORE THAN ALGORHYTHM ? With Jeroen Depraetere, Head of Television and Future, EBU Curation and algorithms as ways of enhancing our service are definitely something public service should take up (have taken up…), but it seems to be developing very slowly almost everywhere. The news of the planned "Alliance" of France Televisions, ZDF and RAI, or the planned joint streaming service of BBC, Channel4 and ITV make it very clear that also the European public service media have understood that the media landscape will be dominated by big international or global players. The survival for documentary programs and smaller players in this landscape will require co-operation and high quality of not only the content but also the service. We may find ourselves having to create and defend a position not within one national public service broadcaster but a conglomerate of many. LUNCH for Executives only 2.30 PM – 5 PM WELCOME & INTRODUCTION INPUT by Jeroen Depraetere, Head of Television and Future, European Broadcasting Union EBU, Geneva, introducing to the « Alliance » of France Télévision, ZDF and RAI and other public initiatives followed by a discussion INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDYS by our participants from the different services such as ARTE, SRF, HBO etc. THE EURODOC EXECUTIVE’S MEETING Since 2013, Eurodoc also offers an exclusive opportunity to meet amongst Documentary Executives and Commissioning Editors only.
