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). -
The Business Model Innovation Process Henrik Jensen
The Business Model Innovation Process Three studies on advertisers, media agencies, and TV broadcasters Industrial PhD dissertation submitted by Henrik Jensen Department of Social Sciences and Business Academic supervisor: associate professor Kristian Sund Business supervisor: commercial director Kasper Kryger ISSN no. 0909-9174 Foreword This dissertation is about business model innovation and the business model innovation process. After an English and Danish abstract of the findings, the dissertation is divided into two separate parts: synopsis and papers. The latter consist of three academic studies or scientific articles, of which two have been published as of November 2018. The synopsis is a summary of the relationship between the three studies and their contribution to the entire PhD dissertation. Furthermore, it provides additional information about and discussions of the background, methods, and results that are not presented in the scientific articles. The journey for this dissertation started in April 2013, when I, a former executive from the media industry, read an article in a Danish business newspaper in which a professor in media management claimed that media organizations were facing significant business challenges and would benefit from applying industrial PhD candidates. Several actors deserve thanks for making this journey happen: Discovery Networks, undertaking a PhD project for the first time ever globally, and, from Roskilde University, my supervisor, Kristian Sund, and, for his initial support, Søren Jagd. However, my biggest thanks are due to my fantastic wife, Lone, who supported the journey all the way! After more than three years of studies, I am confident that the phenomenon of business model innovation provides some key answers to the question of how firms can survive in both the short and the long term. -

Making Television Accessible Foreword Ensuring that all of the world’s population has access to television services is one of the targets set by world leaders in the World Summit on the Information Society. Television is important for enhancing national identity, providing an outlet for domestic media content and getting news and information to the public, which is especially critical in times of emergencies. Television programmes are also a principal source of news and information for illiterate segments of the population, some of whom are persons with disabilities. -
Review of the Communication from the Commission on the Application of State Aid Rules to Public Service Broadcasting
REVIEW OF THE COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION ON THE APPLICATION OF STATE AID RULES TO PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING. THE REPLY OF THE DANISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION (DR) 1. GENERAL 1.1. A number of significant legal developments have taken place in the public broadcasting area since 2001, namely the adoption of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the adoption of the Decision and Framework on compensation payments as well as Commission decision-making practice. Do you think that the Broadcasting Communication should be up-dated in light of these developments? Alternatively, do you consider that these developments do not justify the adoption of a new text? The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the issues regarding the application of state aid rules to public service broadcasting – as it can be fundamental to the future existence of public service broadcasting. In this regard, it is essential for DR to stress the importance of every Member States right to preserve the sovereignty to define the national public service remit and provide for the funding. Otherwise, it can be impossible to carry out the obligation to promote the cultural, democratic and social activities which is at heart of public service broadcasting. We emphasize the importance of the cultural, democratic and social nature of public service broadcasting Considering the changes in the broadcasting sector which are increasingly relevant as well as the political statements for example in the Lisbon conclusions, DR finds a revision of the current communication relevant if it takes into account and acknowledges the particular aspects of public service broadcasters (PSB). -

Journalism Journalism
CULTURAL JOURNALISM CULTURAL In an era when culture itself has become central to political debates, when boundaries between hard news and soft news, facts and opinion are dissolving, cultural journalism contributes to democratic discourse on vital issues of our time. Cultural journalism is furthermore indicative of journalistic autonomy and specialisation within media organisations, and of the intertwined relationship between the cultural and political public spheres. Nordic cultural journalism in Countries in the Nordic the mainstream media covers more subjects today than ever before, from fine arts to gam- ing, media industries, and lifestyle issues. At the same time, it harbours debates and reflec- tion on freedom of expression, ethnicity and national identity. This book contributes to an emerging international research agenda on cultural journalism at a time when digitalisation, convergence and globalisation are influencing the character of journalism in multiple ways. | “Cultural journalism matters, and it matters differently by location.

Cable Wars and Business Battles in Broadcasting Markets: Implications for Internet Television
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography Cable wars and business battles in broadcasting markets: implications for Internet television Karen Donders1 and Tom Evens2 Introduction Broadcasters used to depend on fairly simple revenue streams. Until the 1980s, public broadcasters derived income from government subsidies or a license fee. In some countries, this was complemented with advertising revenues as well. When private broadcasters entered European broadcasting markets, a dual „order‟ emerged in which public broadcasters‟ funding model remained fairly the same and private broadcasters depended nearly solely on advertising revenues (Donders, 2010; Michalis, 2007). Today, Internet and telecommunications players are entering broadcasting markets. Essentially, this means that the market has to be divided between many players – previously active in separate markets. Consequently, broadcasters feel the need to diversify revenues. The strive after diversification became apparent most obviously in the United States where so-called „cable wars‟ between, among others, Time Warner Cable and Fox dominated the debates on a „fair‟ revenue sharing model between broadcasters and distributors. Indeed, Fox‟s Rupert Murdoch (2009) stressed: “We will be seeking retransmission dollars from our distributors. Asking cable companies and other distribution partners to pay a small portion of the profits they make by reselling broadcast channels, the most-watched channels on their systems, will help to ensure the health of the over-the-air industry in America. We realise this is going to be a tough challenge, but we’re determined to take a leadership position in creating an economic template for the future.” (emphasis added) Eventually, Fox and Time Warner Cable reached an agreement in 2010. -
Transnationalization of Television in West Europe. Working Paper No. 13

DESCRIPTORS Cable Television; Communications Satellites; *Culture Contact; Foreign Countries; Imperialism; *Information Technology; *Information Transfer; Mass Media; *Mass Media Effects; Media Research; *Public Television; Tables (Data); Telecommunications; Television Research IDENTIFIERS *Europe (West); *Media Imperialism; Transborder Information Flow ABSTRACT Based primarily on data from public service broadcasting, this study had two major purposes: to develop a framework for understanding, conceptualizing, and measuring international television flows and the effects associated with these flows; and to establish a background of facts on international television flows in Western Europe. Secondary purposes include an evaluation of the "media imperialism" thesis as an explanation of the patterns of flow that can be observed; and an investigation of the validity of researchers' and politicians' claims that the United States dominates Western European television. The first of five chapters in the report describes the purposes of the study and provides a review of earlier research. The second chapter outlines the conceptual framework of the study and describes transnationalization of supply and consumption of television broadcasting. Addressing the second major purpose of the study, the third chapter provides data on transnationalization of television in Europe. Discussions of the media imperialism thesis and both positive and negative effects of transnationalization are presented in the fifth chapter. -
Small Among Giants Television Broadcasting in Smaller Countries
Small Among Giants Television Broadcasting in Smaller Countries Gregory Ferrell Lowe & Christian S. Nissen (eds.) NORDICOM NORDICOM’s activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. • Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom Information, and an English language journal, Nordicom Review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English languages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres attached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. • Trends and Developments in the Media Sectors in the Nordic Countries Nordicom compiles and collates media statistics for the whole of the Nordic region. The statistics, together with qualified analyses, are published in the series, Nordic Media Trends, and on the homepage. Besides statistics on output and consumption, the statistics provide data on media ownership and the structure of the industries as well as national regulatory legislation. -
