Äldre kvinnor osynligast i medierna
No full textI flödet av mediebilder är äldre personer nästan helt osynliga. Äldre kvinnor är dessutom mer osynliggjorda än äldre män. Därför riskerar medierna att bidra till könsmärkt ålderism. Artikeln är en så kallad Spotlight, där forskare på svenska förklarar en nyligen publicerad artikel.

Audience Advertising Fatigue and New Alliances to Finance Content in Broadcasting
No full textIn 2010, the EU Audiovisual Media Service Directive was revised by the European Commission and the regulations concerning improper promotion and product placement in television were sharpened. In sum, broadcasters became responsible for informing viewers about product placement if broadcasters gain from it financially. However there are ways around the regulations by using production companies and media brokers and agencies. This chapter explores some cases from Swedish commercial broadcaster TV4 where improper promotion of commercial interests and product placement have been questioned. It also addresses other types of blended content in Swedish public service television. Brand exposure to finance media content is currently being used with or without consent from the audience. These market driven changes are contextualised within the increasing advertising fatigue among the audience
Chapter 1: Introduction. Comparing gender and media equalityacross the globe : Understanding the qualities, causes, and consequences
No full textThis introductory chapter by Monika Djerf-Pierre and Maria Edström provides the rationale behind the project Comparing gender and media equality across the globe and clarifies the normative theories supporting the strive for gender equality in and through the news media. The project examines equality in news media content as well as in news media organisations and conducts empirical analyses of both the causes and consequences of media and gender equality in countries across the globe. Furthermore, a unique dataset is developed within the project; The GEM dataset pools together existing comparative data on gender equality in the media, making them available for use by the global research community. The chapter also highlights previous research, discusses the key methodological considerations, explains the value of the various datasets used in the project, and provides an overview on the global commitments to improve gender equality in the media, as a context for this study. Finally, we give an overview of the whole book and a summary of the main insights from the project: Gender equality in the news media is lacking in most countries in the world. Gender equality in the news media reflects that journalism is a semi-autonomous field. The news media misrepresents reality when it comes the actual progress of gender equality in the world. The news media logic operates as a global homogeniser. Progress is both fast and slow. The gender gap in the news content is most likely greater than the gender gap in news media access and use. Monitoring instruments and reliable data are needed to know if progress occurs. Gender data on the media are still lacking.The project Comparing Gender and Media Equality across the Globe has been fundedby the Swedish Research Council (2016–2020) and is based at the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.The GEM dataset and its codebook are free to use and can be downloaded in variousformats.

Introduction: Rethinking Freedom of Expression and Media Freedom
No full textFROM THE INTRODUCTION: Freedom of expression is an essential part of democracy, and free speech goes hand in hand with a free media. Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the American Declaration of Independence, wrote in 1816: “Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe” (Jefferson 1816/1900). And as emphasized in the UK’s Leveson report earlier this decade, “With these rights, however, come responsibilities to the public interest: to respect the truth, to obey the law and to uphold the rights and liberties of individuals. In short, to honour the very principles proclaimed and articulated by the industry itself ” (Leveson 2012:4). Although the principle of free speech could be said to remain largely the same over time, the conditions for free speech and free media do not; they are certainly not the same as when Jefferson made his statement. Today the conditions are more democratic overall and the level of state censorship is lower (at least in parts of the world), concerns about state surveillance notwithstanding. However, the market pressure on media financing models and market-driven ideas that suggest the state should not ‘interfere’ in the media ecology makes journalism more vulnerable and less independent from commercial interests. It is these changing conditions of state and market that this book explores. We seek to make it at least a little more difficult to discuss free speech without addressing such contemporary conditions. //From a Nordic perspective, the theme is highly topical because it coincides with the 250 th anniversary of the world’s oldest constitutional protection for a free press and free speech, the Swedish Press Act of 1766, passed 50 years before Jefferson made his statement, quoted above.The overall aim of this book is to focus on challenges from the market to free speech and how free speech can be protected, promoted and developed in a time when the lines between journalism and advertising are blurred. Its scope covers both structural and individual levels. It analyses tensions between what can be called democracy-driven and market-driven freedom of expression ..

Blurring the Lines: Market-Driven and Democracy-Driven Freedom of Expression
No full textBlurring the Lines: Market-Driven and Democracy-Driven Freedom of Expression focuses on challenges from the market to free speech and how free speech can be protected, promoted and developed when lines between journalism and advertising are blurred. With contributions from 20 scholars in law, media studies and philosophy, it explores an issue deserving greater attention, market pressures on freedom of expression. The role of commercial constraints on speech, restrictions and control of media content and the responsibility of state institutions in protecting free speech are some of the topics scrutinized from a democratic free speech perspective.

Genus och Tvärtanten Populariserade former för forskning
No full textRedaktör: Anna Nordenstam Svenska kvinnotidskrifter har en lång tradition. Det började med Tidskrift för hemmet 1859 och har sedan fortsatt med många viktiga tidskrifter som Hertha,Morgonbris, Tidevarvet, Vi mänskor, Kvinnobulletinen, Bang och de akademiska tidskrifterna som Tidskrift för genusvetenskap, den populärvetenskapliga Genus och fanzines av olika slag. Det är en brokig skara tidskrifter: långvariga och kortvariga, borgerliga och socialistiska, politiska, kulturella och vetenskapliga, små och stora. Mycket skiljer dem åt, men en sak förenar: kvinnotidskriften har varit och är en viktig plats för kvinnofrågor i samhället, politiken och kulturen. Kvinnotidskrifterna har varit betydelsefulla som opinionsbildare, som kultur- och litteraturförmedlare, som mötesplats för kritisk tänkande, som informationsspridare, som identitetsskapare och som humoristisk arena. I antologin Nya röster finns fjorton bidrag av följande skribenter: Irene Andersson, Åsa Arping, Anna Bohlin, Eva Borgström, Monika Edgren, Maria Edström, Jenny Gunnarsson Payne, Kristina Hultman, Ingrid Holmquist, Katarina Leppänen, Anna Lena Lindberg, Ami Lönnroth, Birgitta Ney, Anna Nordenstam, Lina Samuelsson, Cristine Sarrimo, Lisbeth Stenberg, Margareta Stål, Birgitta Wistrand, Eva Åsén Ekstrand
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
