Media Development 2017 04 EVERYTHING WAS BETTER IN THE OLDEN DAYS The debate about the media is keener than usual, and the dominating narrative is negative: The media’s credibility is at rock bottom, young people have isolated themselves on social media, and the media’s business models are in ruins. But was everything better in the olden days? Maybe not. By Dennis Christensen DR Audience Research Media Development 2017 05 The development of the media is full of challenges. worried about the younger generation. But, like Traditional business models are being squeezed, the generation before them, this generation of the foreign media giants are resting on their media users will probably get by too. Not in the users and their money, and the Danes are worried same way as their parents, but in their own way. about fake news. But the story of general decline Because the truth is that the media world is not is, however, only one of several tales about the completely bad: Some things were definitely better development of the media, mainly because it’s hard in the olden days, but a lot is better now. And this for the positive stories to make themselves heard. But is the subtle message we will be trying to share in they are there. You just have to look a little closer. Medieudviklingen 2017. Although we have been talking about fake news all year, we have not been able to identify any negative change in the Danes’ trust of the Dennis Christensen major Danish news media, and although the Danes Head of DR Audience Research express some concern about fake news, they do consider themselves able to distinguish right from wrong. At the same time, they are critical of the source of what they encounter on social media. For do you trust the media? Do you trust the Internet? Do you trust the social media? Or rather, maybe you trust the Berlingske. Information, Detektor or perhaps Kåre Quist. People trust the Internet and social media less, perhaps because they know full well that it’s a very mixed bag they encounter out there. But they still trust the media they are familiar with. The young have, quite rightly, taken the new media offerings on board, and are major consumers of social media and streaming services. It’s quite clear that, when there are only 24 hours in the day and space has to be made for Snapchat and YouTube and Spotify and Facebook and Instagram and all the other new stuff, some of the traditional media must move aside. But there is also still time to watch The Great Bake off with the family. DR still has contact with more young people throughout the week than Netflix. And there is still the truth about young people’s media consumption: It’s not either or - it’s both and. Instead of spending most of their media time on a couple of simple media platforms, young people share their media time more evenly between media and platforms than their parents. Naturally, the parental generation will be more Media Development 2017 06 DAILY TV TIME SPENT The time consumption in 2017 includes deferred viewing 1-7 days after the time of broadcast.

  • 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.

  • A Message That We All Share Title Sheet
    A MESSAGE THAT WE ALL SHARE TITLE SHEET A message that we all share A research of the campaign ‘All that we share’ released in 2017 by TV 2 Denmark. In addition, an understanding of the Danish viewers' interaction with the message hereof and a view of the campaign in an international context. MASTER THESIS IN CULTURE, COMMUNICATION & GLOBALISATION 10th semester, June 2020. Aalborg University STUDENTS Cristian Voicu (20180685) Ida Marie Stenumgaard (20181122) SUPERVISOR Birthe Mousten Nielsen CHARACTERS: 281,574 PREFACE The thesis is made from an interest concerning a Danish TV networks’ decision to use the message of connectedness and diversity as part of their brand identity. We find is interesting to research why TV 2 decided to do this and further, how they did it. In addition to this, we want to see how the Danish consumers interact with this message and, given the large international response to the campaign and its message, we also want to investigate the international viewers' perception of the campaign. We want to give a special thanks to the 12 respondents and to Vicky Wassman Dahi who participated in our data collection and contributed with interesting and essential meanings and insights to our research. Further, we want to thank our supervisor, Birthe, for her perspectives and constructive feedback. We hope you enjoy the reading. Abstract Today companies employ increasingly more complex branding strategies as they try to keep up with the competition and with the evolving needs and behaviours of consumers. Brand managers are turning to using cultural or ideological principles as the core of their branding efforts.

DESCRIPTORS Developing Nations; Foreign Countries; Freedom of Speech; *Mass Media; *Mass Media Effects; *Mass Media Role; Media Research; Professional Training; Technological Advancement IDENTIFIERS *Germany; Historical Background; Journalists; Market Analysis; Media Government Relationship; Media Ownership; Third World; *West Germany ABSTRACT Citing statistics that show that its citizens are well catered for by the mass media, this paper answers questions concerning the media landscape in the Federal Republic of Germany. 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).

  • 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.
