Another year where Nordvision has beaten a record. Overall, 2015 was the best year ever when measured by the number of programme episodes our cooperation generated. The exchange of programmes and archive clips in particular rose sharply, while the number of co-productions decreased compared to last year’s record. Overall, the Nordvision cooperation generated 4,849 programmes. This is a new total record for the cooperation! Furthermore, the news cooperation generated more than 5,500 news items. Meanwhile, the Nordvision cooperation has developed in a number of areas. We now work together on social media, on hack day for developers and on data gathering regarding children’s and young people’s media habits, just as we share experiences about publishing technology. In 2015 and 2016 we are specifically working on a number of Nordic workshops for those responsible for social media in the TV stations, where we are developing new ways of producing and communicating public service content to, for example, Facebook and YouTube. The Nordic media researchers work together to gather data regarding children’s media usage, which gives the TV stations better opportunities to plan educational content for their youngest users. The excellent Nordic cooperation we have in terms of co-production and content exchange is something we will shortly be attempting to transfer to a Nordic cooperation in terms of digital formats. We must share knowledge, exchange and develop new smart solutions to make user experiences better, and develop solutions that reach the users wherever they are. Chairperson for Nordvision and and Nordvision for Chairperson Nordvision is probably already one of the world’s best and most extensive regional PSM collaboration, but we also want to be the best when it comes to digital content. Director, Swedish Yle Marit af Björkesten Björkesten af Marit Every third year, the Nordvision cooperation switches chairperson. In recent periods, SVT has had the roll as chair, but from 1 January 2016, Yle will take over. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Programme Director in SVT Lena Glaser and SVT for their good work. Thanks for a great year 2015.
