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.

It takes place in the late 1980s in Tanzania, where two Scandinavian families are stationed: The Knudsen family, who greet Tanzania full of good intentions and the Larssons, who have lived in Tanzania for several years. Liberty is both a humorous and brutal portrait of Western expats, whose idealism clashes with cultural differences and local opposition, gradually erodin their good intentions and democratic values in a mix of gin & tonic, tempting colonial advantages, and passion fuelled by the tropical heat in the Tanzanian nights.

The paper discusses: (1) Structure and framework conditions of the German media (a historical review of the mass media since 1945); (2) Press (including its particular reliance on local news and the creation of the world status media group, Bertelsmann AG);(3) News agencies and public relations work (which insure a "never-ending stream" of information);(4) Radio and Television (with emphasis on the Federal Republic's surprisingly large number of radio stations--public, commercial, and "guest");(5) New communication paths and media (especially communication and broadcasting satellites and cable in wideband-channel networks);(6) The profession of journalist (which still relies on on-the-job training rather than university degrees); and (7) Help for the media in the Third World (professional training in Germany of journalists and technical experts from underdeveloped countries appears to be the most appropriate way to promote Third World media).

    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.
