Finally here it is, the finished dissertation. So many moments of happiness and intellectual growth and so many moments of trial and tribulation before I could write these acknowledgements. So many people whom I could not have done this without! First of all, thanks to all the TV programme makers who generously shared their experiences, thoughts, and time with me. It is after all you who made this whole thing possible. Thanks to my supervisors who have supported me throughout this journey. Robert Picard, thanks for your insightful comments and all the freedom you have given me. Leif Melin, a million thanks for your hard work, wisdom, and guidance. Your intellectual and moral support over the years has been essential. Anna Larsson, for your sharp eye for theory and structure, your keenness for analysing the crazy world in which we live and your sense of humour, thanks. It would not have been as fun without you. Dissertations are not written in a vacuum, and this one is no exception. So therefore, thanks to all colleagues at the Media Management and Transformation Centre and at the ESOL (Entrepreneurship, Strategy, Organization and Leadership) department, as well as all other colleagues at Jönköping International Business School for providing a good academic climate. Thanks for helpful comments and support, as well as friendship. It has been fun working with you all. A special thanks to Rolf Lundin for being a mentor and looking out for me. Many thanks to my sisters in arms in academia, the Hat Order. Elena Raviola, Jenny Helin, Anette Johansson, Kajsa Haag, Benedikte Borgström, and Lisa Bäckvall. I am so grateful for your emotional and intellectual support. Once we have taken the hat, the world is ours for the taking! Thank you Stefan Jonsson, for the good job you did at my final seminar pointing out the gaps in the thesis manuscript and for the advice on how to improve it. Thank you Susanne Hansson for helping me transform the text into a book format. During this academic journey I have had the opportunity to spend time in other places than Jönköping. Thanks to the nice people at Scancor, Stanford, for giving me the opportunity to spend the summer of 2008 there and to all the other visiting scholars who were there that summer. Thanks to the nice people at Copenhagen Business School in the department of IOA and in the department of Business and Politics for receiving me as a guest researcher. Many thanks to the nice and wise people at Gothenburg Research Institute – especially Rolf Solli and Barbara Czarniawska – for letting me take part in your 5 community and giving me academic shelter in Göteborg. I have so appreciated my time here. I could not have travelled to these great places and met with these nice people without funding from Sixten Gemzéus Stiftelse and FAS. Nor could I have written this dissertation without the financial support of KK-stiftelsen and of the Hamrin Foundation’s generous contribution to the Media centre at Jönköping International Business School. Many thanks for this. Thanks to my friends and family in Göteborg who have made my time off work fun and eventful. To my parents in law, Gull-Britt and Christer, thank you for all your kindness and all your baby-sitting during these last years of writing dissertation. I am so grateful to my parents, Anita and Lars-Erik, for your support and encouragement. I thank Lars-Erik for reading and commenting on the manuscript in its various stages of completeness, and Anita for your beautiful illustrations. They bring life to these otherwise dull pages. Finally, Emmy and Göran, this book is for you. Emmy, you make life so much fun and help me get my priorities right about the important things in life – like playing monsters, dancing to the radio, and eating ice cream. Göran, you are my one-man cheerleading squad with your unfaltering support and trust in my ability to actually pull this through. You are the apple of my eye. Göteborg, 17 November 2011 Maria Norbäck 6 Abstract This dissertation is about the institution of public service television as it is enacted in Sweden at the beginning of the 21st century. Public service broadcasting – first radio, then television – was introduced as a solution to the problems that arose at the beginning of the 20th century, namely how to control and organise the new broadcasting technology. Almost 100 years later public service TV is still around. What problems is it perceived to solve in the media landscape of today? How do the people making public service TV programmes understand it in relation to their work? This study investigates public service TV as it is enacted in collaborative productions of public service TV programming by the Swedish public broadcaster SVT, commercial production companies and additional financers. This is a setting that opens up for a negotiation of what public service TV is and should be, as well as which actors should have the right to produce it.

Here, user- distributed content (UDC) acts as a conceptual framework. The con- cept of UDC refers to the process by which the mass media con- verge with the online social networks through the intentional use of social media features and platforms in order to expand the number of content delivery channels and maximize visibility online. The focus of the paper is both on the news media’s internal use (social plugins) and external use (Facebook pages, Twitter accounts) of social media tools and platforms in content distribution. The study draws on the examination of fifteen news media in seven countries. The data con- sists of almost 50,000 news items and the communicative activity surrounding them. The three main findings of the study are: (1) the audience shares online news content actively by using social plugins, (2) the activity of the news media in social media (especial- ly on Facebook and Twitter) impacts the activity of the audience, and (3) the news media are more active on Twitter than on Face- 3 book, despite the fact that the audience is often more active on Face- book.

  • The Per Gessle Selection - Sommartider Vitt Och Rosé Har Premiär Idag!
    2013-04-08 12:09 CEST The Per Gessle Selection - Sommartider vitt och rosé har premiär idag! Per Gessle är van vid succéer och eftersom både kritiker och publik älskade hans italienska viner ”Furet” och ”Kurt och Lisa” är han, liksom vi, mer än nöjd med sin debut i vinbranschen. Nu är det dags för två läckra franska uppföljare i The Per Gessle Selection - boxarna ”Sommartider” - en vit och en rosé. Världspremiär i beställningssortimentet idag, den 8 april! Inget kan vara mer efterlängtat efter en evighetslång vinter än ett löfte om ljusare och varmare tider! Per Gessle står själv för den somriga box-dekoren som leder tankarna till härliga, lata sommardagar. Tillsammans med en av Frankrikes mest kända vinproducenter, François Lurton, har han skapat de två nya vinerna av sydfranska druvor. Det vita ”Sommartider” är en läcker kombination av druvorna gros manseng och sauvignon blanc. Friskt, fruktigt och fräscht som en sommardag med fina toner av citrus, lime och svart vinbärsblad. Härligt alldeles på egen hand och jättegott till fisk, kyckling och sallader. ”Sommartider” rosé är skapad av 100% syrah. Sydfranskt somrigt med doft och smak av hallon, röda vinbär och örter. Svalkande gott och sommarens bästa pick-nickvin som matchar det mesta i matväg! . Per Gessle håller världsklass som artist och han väljer förstås att samarbeta med de bästa i sitt vinprojekt ”The Per Gessle Selection”. Tillsammans med topproducenten Allegrini skapade han två hyllade viner från Toscana, ”Furet” döpt efter Pers hemmakvarter i Halmstad och ”Kurt & Lisa" - en hyllning till Pers föräldrar. Francois Lurton är alltså nästa kvalitetsproducent att medverka i ”The Per Gessle Selection”.

  • A Critical Policy Analysis on Swedish Regulation of Public Officials
    From Public Service to Corporate Positions: A Critical Policy Analysis on Swedish Regulation of Public Officials Transitioning to Non-State Activities Heraclitos Muhire Supervisor: Isabel Schoultz Examiner: Måns Svensson Abstract The topic of government and state officials leaving public service for the private sector has been a recurring talking point in the last decades with multiple countries in the OECD enacting different forms of regulation to contain potential conflicts of interest. In Sweden, legislation specifically regulating the phenomenon was not passed until 2018, when the Act Concerning Restrictions in the Event of Ministers and State Secretaries Transitioning to Non- state Activities (2018:676) (henceforth the Act) was enacted. The Act came with caveats such as the lack of sanctions in case of breach against the regulation as well as only limiting its legal subjects to ministers and state secretaries. This thesis investigates the problem representation that led to the provisions in the Act by conducting Bacchi & Goodwin’s (2016) policy analysis called What’s the Problem Represented to Be (WPR approach) on the legislative history of the Act. By employing Gramsci’s (1971) theoretical concepts of ideology and hegemony and Fisher’s (2009) capitalist realism, the thesis finds that the legislative history sees the issue of transitions between public and private sector as a problem if individuals misuse the otherwise positive exchange of information and knowledge between the public sector and private sector which could erode public trust in state institutions. The findings also indicate that the legislative history does not highlight the role of the private sector, e.g.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.
