Tässä kulutustutkimuk- sen alaan sijoittuvassa tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan medioiden kuluttamista symbolisesta, erityisesti kuluttajan identiteetin rakentumisen näkökulmasta. Mediasisältöjä lähestytään tuotteina ja palveluina, joita kuluttajat voivat ostaa ja käyttää. Työn tarkoituksena on valaista kysymystä siitä, miten televisio-ohjelmat ja kuluttajan identiteetin rakentuminen ovat yhteydessä toisiinsa. Tutkielmassa pyritään tunnistamaan ja analysoimaan, millä tavoin kuluttajat hyödyntävät mediatuotteita rakentaessaan identiteettiään ja käsitystä itsestään, ympäröivistä ihmisistä sekä sosiaalisista suhteistaan. Työn ensimmäisenä tavoitteena on selvittää, millaista medioiden symbolinen kuluttami- nen on ilmiötasolla. Tätä ymmärrystä rakennetaan opiskelijoiden keskuudessa laadullisin menetelmin toteutetun esitutkimuksen myötä. Esitutkimuksen myötä piirtyy kuva moni- vivahteisesta median kuluttamisesta, jonka symbolisia merkityksiä rakentava luonne näyttäytyy selvänä, joskin implisiittisenä ominaisuutena. Työn toisena tavoitteena on analysoida, miten kuluttajan suhde televisio-ohjelmaan ra- kentuu käsitteellisesti. Saadun esiymmärryksen ja kirjallisuuskatsauksen myötä tutkimus- asetelma tarkennetaan koskemaan muodostuneen kulutussuhteen intensiivisyyttä, lujuutta ja luonnetta. Käsitteellistä mallinnusta koetellaan myös empiirisesti televisionkatsojien keskuudesta kvantitatiivisesti kerätyllä Internet-kyselyaineistolla. Työn kolmantena tavoitteena on analysoida miten televisio-ohjelmien kuluttaminen il- menee käytännössä, eli miten ja missä määrin televisio-ohjelmat toimivat resursseina kuluttajien identiteetin rakentamisessa. Edellä mainittuun kyselyaineistoon perustuva analyysi osoittaa, että kuluttajien välillä on selkeitä eroja suhteessa suosikkiohjelman saamaan rooliin omassa arjessa ja minäkäsityksessä. Tässä yhteydessä televisio- ohjelmien genrekohtaiset erot selittävinä tekijöinä saavat kuitenkin vain osittaista tukea, kun taas vastaajan ikä näyttäytyy merkittävänä tekijänä.

The field of the study is con- sumer research and it investigates media consumption from a symbolic perspective as an identity constructing activity. Media contents are approached as products and services that consumers can buy and use. The purpose of this study is to uncover how consump- tion of television programs and identity construction are connected. In other words, pur- pose is to investigate different ways in which consumers make use of television programs to construct their identities as well as make sense of their selves, others and social rela- tions in their everyday lives. The first research aim is to understand the phenomenon of symbolic consumption of me- dia products. This understanding is gained along with a pre-study phase with qualitative methodology and a focus on university students. Based on the pre-study it can be out- lined that media consumption is a multifaceted phenomenon, of which symbolic nature is unquestionable, yet fairly implicit. The second research aim is to construct a comprehensive conceptual model of identity- related consumption of TV programs and to test its validity with empirical data. Based on pre-understanding and literature review, conceptual framework is constructed based on a relationship perspective with a focus on intensity, strength and nature of consumer-media relationships. This conceptual model is tested against quantitative, online survey data. The third research aim taps into specifying how and to what extent consumers use TV programs as resources for their identity construction in practice. This investigation de- ploys the same above-mentioned data source and reveals that there are clear differences between consumers in their relationships with favorite TV programs. In this connection, program genre -based explanation for the differences receives only a partial support, whereas age of the respondent seems to make a significant difference. Keywords Media, consumption, identity, relationship with a television program VII ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Now, when this journey of a doctoral candidate is approaching its end, I look back and ask: has it been worth travelling? How has the road been, and what kind of sceneries and travelling companion has it offered me along the way? I have navigated through several crossroads, confusing roundabouts, and faced some uphill struggles every once in a while. I have also had a chance to take some ex- citing bypaths to the conferences, and listen to the words of wisdom from the more experienced ones. However, mostly I have been forced to sit tight in my office room and think over my steps. Although I like running fast, I was advised not to rush and therefore miss all the lessons to be learned on this road. Luckily, I have not been wandering alone, but I have been blessed with strong encouragement and support right from the beginning. First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Pirjo Laaksonen for keeping me on track with her inval- uable guidance and full-hearted believe in me. I am also grateful to the official pre-examiners of the thesis, Professor Agneta Marell from Umeå University and Professor Outi Uusitalo from University of Jyväskylä for devoting some of their precious time for my manuscript and giving insightful comments to it. In addition, I wish to thank other academic members in Finland and abroad for their valuable comments and tuition in different phases of my research. I am grateful for my dear colleagues (in present and back in time) at the Depart- ment of Marketing. I have been in a truly great company! You have made this trip bearable in bad times and enjoyable at its best. Especially I wish to thank Profes- sor Martti Laaksonen for understanding my goals in life as well as challenging me with his intellects and Professor Jorma Larimo for his thoughtful touch at the De- partment. I have been privileged to receive financial support from many instances. I wish to thank University of Vaasa, Finnish Cultural Foundation, The Finnish Graduate School of Marketing – FINNMARK, Graphic Industry Research Foundation, Finnish Foundation for Economic and Techonoloy Sciences – KAUTE, Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation, Wihuri Foundation, Markus Wallenberg Foundation, and the Foundation for Economic Education. Also I would like to thank Anssi Kiviranta for the possibility to conduct data gathering via Telkku.com. I have come quite far, but not that far I would have forgotten the most important – my dearest ones who have cared for me and put up with me. Thank you for re- minding me about the joys in life other than research. I want to dedicate this book to my dear parents, Sirpa and Markus, and my sweet sister, Johanna. Finally, Juk- ka. Without you I would be quite lost. Thank you for sharing this trip with me. VIII I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. ~ Louis Armstrong lyrics Vaasa, May 2012 Jenniina Halkoaho IX Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.............................................................................

    „Jede, die nicht mindestens so aussieht, „In meinem Kopf war / ist fest ist hässlich und dick.“ verankert: Wenn ich dünn bin, (Cassandra, 18 Jahre und dann ist alles einfacher. Das ganze seit 4 Jahren an Leben. Ich bin nicht wegen Germany’s Magersucht erkrankt) Next Topmodel magersüchtig geworden, dennoch hat es eine Rolle gespielt. Und heute schaue ich es bewusst NICHT WARUM mehr an! Denn es würde die Magersucht wieder so richtig pushen.“ (Lia, 18 Jahre alt und seit 3 Jahren „So wie die an Magersucht erkrankt) möchte ich gerne aussehen. Dafür muss ich SEH’ NICHT nur noch abnehmen. Und ICH dann kann man oft nicht mehr aufhören und rutscht in die Magersucht.“ FERNSEHEN IM KONTEXT VON ESSSTÖRUNGEN ESSSTÖRUNGEN VON FERNSEHEN IM KONTEXT (Denise, 14 Jahre und seit 2 Jahren an Magersucht – SO ? erkrankt) AUS „Warum seh‘ ich nicht so aus?“, fragt sich so manche junge Frau, wenn sie die Frauen in TV-Serien, die Bewerberin- FERNSEHEN IM KONTEXT nen beim Bachelor oder Deutschland sucht den Superstar sieht – und vor allem wenn sie sich mit den Kandidatinnen von Germany’s Next Topmodel vergleicht. Für die meisten Zuschauerinnen ist es „nur“ frustrierend und beeinflusst ihr Selbstvertrauen, dass sie der vorgegebenen Norm nicht genügen. Für andere kann dieser Gedanke und der Wille VON ESSSTÖRUNGEN sich zu ändern in schwere, langwierige Krankheiten führen: Essstörungen, wie Magersucht und Bulimie. Es sind natürlich nicht ausschließlich Fernsehsendungen oder Medienbilder, die zu diesen schweren psychosoma- tischen Störungen führen. Die Ursachen sind immer komplexer und viele Variablen und Problemlagen sind für die Entstehung von Essstörungen verantwortlich. Dennoch spielen Fernsehsendungen oftmals eine wichtige Rolle.

  • Towards Streamlined Broadcasting: the Changing Music Cultures of 1990 Finnish Commercial Radio
    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i1.8en Towards Streamlined Broadcasting: The Changing Music Cultures of 1990 Finnish Commercial Radio Heikki Uimonen [email protected] Dept. of Music Anthropology, University of Tampere Abstract The deregulation of broadcasting in 1985 Finland introduced competition between the European public service tradition and American commercial radio. Musically diverse and almost uncontrolled programme policies of the mid-1980s were replaced by the American-style format radio in the 1990s. The article focuses on how the process of music selection and radio music management changed. What were the economic, technological, organisational and cultural constraints that regulated the radio business and especially music? The question will be answered by empirical data consisting of interviews with the radio station personnel and music copyright reports supported by printed archive material. Key words: radio music, deregulation, music programming, play lists, music selection. Introduction Yleisradio (The Finnish Broadcasting Company, YLE) was founded in 1926. Right from the beginning music had an important role accounting for nearly 70 percent of broadcast time. Soon the share was cut down but it still remained around 50 percent. Publicly funded radio broadcast live; recordings were used very seldom. It seems that the YLE had two main guidelines in their programme policy: firstly to provide serious and uplifting popular education and information to the public and secondly to meet the listeners’ needs for entertainment. In practice this meant more highbrow than folksy style amusement (Kurkela, 2010, pp. 72– 73). In the early 1960s the YLE policy was challenged when the pirate stations started to broadcast off the coast of Stockholm.

Since MMS has not been measuring Web TV for two full calendar years, the measurements from 2011 are not sufficient for comparison. - Between weeks 42 and 48 the measurement code for MTG TV was revised due to overall compli- cations in the user experience, meaning that measurement data from this period is incomplete. PREFACE The media landscape is constantly changing, and right now driving its development is Internet and Moving Picture content. As a result of this, we can look back at a truly amazing year for web-TV viewing. In 2012, a long series of records for TV-viewing via Internet were set. Almost 616 million streams were started and almost 92 million hours were spent on web TV during the year. The programme with the greatest web audience over the course of the year was the traditional Christmas Eve episode of “Julkalendern”, which was shown on SVT Play. “Julkalendern” attracted an audience of just under 468 000 during an eight day period. The record in terms of number of streams started was set by SVT and Sveriges Radio for the programme “Musikhjälpen”, which generated over 729 000 started streams in the week it aired.
