The pillars of the Icelandic economy are aluminum smelting, fishing, and tourism. Iceland’s main material exports are aluminum products and fish products, and main service exports are tourism related services. In 2018, tourism accounted for 39% of total exports of goods and services, while marine products were 18% of total exports, aluminium products another 17%.Main material imports to Iceland in 2018 were industrial supplies 29%, capital goods ሺexcept for transportሻ 21%, transport equipment 15%, fuels and lubricants 15%, consumer goods 12%, and food and beverages 8%. The United States is Iceland’s largest trading partner by country, both in terms of exports and imports ሺ2018ሻ. European Union Member States remain Iceland’s most important trading partners collectively, with exports from Iceland to the EU accounting for 71.8% of total exports, and around two thirds of all imports coming from the EU. The booming tourism industry is a major contributor to the fact that the U.S. is now Iceland’s largest trading partner by country, as the vast majority of tourists now come from the U.S., and tourism is considered export of services.

  • Konur Í Fjölmiðlum #Metoo #Fimmtavaldið
    Konur í fjölmiðlum #metoo #fimmtavaldið Konur í fjölmiðlum hafa þagað allt of lengi, rétt eins og konur í öðrum stéttum. Við þegjum ekki lengur. Við stígum fram og vekjum athygli á áreitni, kynbundinni mismunun og kynferðisofbeldi sem hefur fengið að þrífast gagnvart konum í fjölmiðlum. Við lýsum yfir stuðningi við þær konur sem hafa þegar látið rödd sína hljóma og tekið þátt í þeirri byltingu sem nú á sér stað um allan heim þar sem konur taka höndum saman, konur í ákveðnum starfsstéttum standa saman og safna reynslusögum af kynferðislegri áreitni, óviðeigandi snertingum, óvelkomnum athugasemdum og þaðan af verra. Þannig er samt hversdagslegur veruleiki kvenna enn í dag, á 21. öldinni í samfélagi þjóðar sem jafnan er kennd við mesta kynjajafnrétti í heiminum. Við erum komin langt, en við þurfum að komast enn lengra. Sú bylting sem nú stendur yfir hefur verið kennd við Weinstein-áhrifin eftir að konur fóru að greina frá kynferðislegri áreitni þessa áhrifamanns í Hollywood, #metoo. Hér á Íslandi voru konur í stjórnmálum fyrstar og sögðu sínar sögur með myllumerkinu #ískuggavaldsins. Konur í sviðslistum og kvikmyndagerð kenndu sig við myllumerkið #tjaldiðfellur. Konur í fjölmiðlum vinna beinlínis við að koma upp um spillingu, segja frá ofbeldi og kúgun, ljóstra upp um leyndarmál sem skipta máli fyrir þjóðfélagið og borgara þess. Það er því ekki nema eðlilegt að við sameinaðar tökum þetta skref saman og sýnum samfélaginu öllu hvernig viðmóti og hegðum við mætum í okkar vinnu. Núverandi ástand er ekki boðlegt. Við krefjumst breytinga og skorum á íslenska fjölmiðla að taka meðfylgjandi frásagnir alvarlega, setja sér siðareglur varðandi áreitni og kynferðislegt ofbeldi, og fylgja þeim eftir.

  • Media and Politics in Iceland
    Chapter 3 Media and politics in Iceland Jón Gunnar Ólafsson & Valgerður Jóhannsdóttir Abstract This chapter outlines the political and media landscapes in Iceland in compari- son to the other four Nordic countries. The political communication literature routinely groups the Nordic countries together and defines them in terms of a Nordic model. Iceland has, however, seldom been included in this literature, and research on political communication in the country is scarce. The chapter shows that the Icelandic media and political systems differ in significant ways from those in the other Nordic countries. Corporatism is less developed in Iceland, as is journalistic professionalism, and remnants of political parallelism have carried over to a highly commercial media system. This has operated without the public service requirements or support for private media that characterise the other Nordic countries. Iceland was particularly impacted by the 2008 financial crisis, and the years following have seen various changes regarding media and politics. Recent developments indicate that the Icelandic system might be becoming more similar to the other Nordic countries. Keywords: Iceland, Nordic model, media system, political communication, journalism Introduction This chapter introduces developments and changes in the media structure in Iceland in recent years and examines the relationship between media and pol- itics in the small country. First, we introduce the main actors and institutions in the political and media systems in Iceland. We illustrate how the established four-party system has recently given way to a more fragmented and fluid political system following the 2008 financial crisis. We also show how rapid economic, political, and technological changes have impacted the Icelandic media landscape.

  • Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
    POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.

This List of International Signalling Point Codes (ISPC) replaces the previous one published as Annex to the ITU Operational Bulletin No. 1109 of 1.X.2016. Since then, a number of notifications have been received at TSB and they have been published separately in various issues of the ITU Operational Bulletin. The present list recapitulates all the different amendments that have been published up to ITU Operational Bulletin No. 1199 of 1.VII.2020. 2. Recommendation ITU-T Q.708 states that the assignment of signalling area/network codes (SANC) is to be administered by TSB. Each country will then be responsible for the assignment of international signalling point codes (ISPC) that will then be notified to TSB. 3. The numbering plan of Recommendation ITU-T Q.708 contains 2 048 SANCs providing for 16 384 international signalling points. From these, currently 1 536 SANCs are available for assignment allowing for 12 288 international points. At present 1 055 SANCs are assigned; the reported utilization is 6 255 international signalling points. 4. In order to keep the list up to date, administrations are, therefore, requested to notify TSB, by using the notification form attached, as soon as an ISPC assignment or withdrawal is made, www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/inr/forms/Pages/ispc.aspx .

The country is sparsely popu- lated, most of its population live in the capital region, distribution of newspapers for the rest of the island is diffi cult. Iceland, for a lengthy period, was dependent on Denmark, now people really care about the independence of their state. In this article I describe the condition of the Icelandic press, radio, television, and legal changes that were supposed to make Iceland an NA MEDIA enclave of freedom of speech. An important part of the text is a description of the activities of media companies and problems associated with the journalists’ independence.

  • Political Parallelism in Iceland: Perceived Media-Politics Relations
    NORDICOM REVIEW Political parallelism in Iceland Perceived media-politics relations Birgir Guðmundsson Department of Social Science, University of Akureyri, Iceland Abstract My main objective in this article is to examine the importance of political parallelism in Iceland through establishing the extent to which political parallelism is perceived to char- acterise political communication in Iceland by politicians and voters. Political parallelism is one of the defining elements of Hallin and Mancini’s typology of media systems. Based on candidate surveys from five elections and a voter survey, indexes of perceived political parallelism are configured for politicians and voters. The analysis suggests a high degree of perceived political parallelism and that the perceptions are reflected in partisan ideologi- cal views of individual media outlets. The same – or at least similar – perceptions about political parallelism in the media system seem to penetrate the system irrespective of age and at the national, local, and individual level of politics. However, voters and candidates of social democratic and liberal internationally oriented parties perceive a significantly lower degree of parallelism than others. Keywords: political communication, political parallelism, media systems, elections, journalism Introduction Throughout the better part of the twentieth century, the Icelandic media system was characterised by a political party press, with four or five newspapers representing the Icelandic four-party system. The bourgeois press was, for most of that time, consider- ably stronger than the press to the left and centre. The state radio was, for all intents and purposes, held hostage by a political regulatory and surveillance board (Friðriksson, 2000; Guðmundsson, 2007, 2009). The unwinding of the hard grip of political parties on the press was a long process that spanned nearly forty years.

  • The Icelandic News Media in Times of Crisis and Change
    n Fræðigreinar STJÓRNMÁL & STJÓRNSÝSLA The Icelandic news media in times of crisis and change Valgerður Jóhannsdóttir, Adjunct Lecturer, Faculty of Political Science, University of Iceland and PhD student, Department of Communication and Arts, Roskilde University Jón Gunnar Ólafsson, Associate Lecturer and PhD student, Department of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths, University of London Abstract The news media around the world has experienced drastic changes in recent decades, and the Icelandic media is no exception. These changes originate in political, economic and not least technological developments. In this article we map key developments in the Icelandic media system and illustrate the changes it has undergone in the first decades of the 21st century. Journalism and media studies are under-researched fields of study in Iceland, and the country is usually absent from comparative work in these fields. Often it is simply grouped together with the other four Nordic countries. We argue that the Icelandic media system differs from those countries in several ways. Whilst it has moved towards the liberal model there are also indications of increased partisanship in the media in the last decade. The smallness of the media system has made it more vulnerable to the increasing competition and commercialisation in the digital era, and Iceland was particularly badly hit by the financial crisis in 2008. News media companies in Iceland are struggling financially, several media outlets have come and gone, mergers have been frequent and trust in the media is low. The view that some sort of public support is required to secure an independent media and high-quality journalism is gaining ground in Iceland.
