Media System or Media Trends?
• Globalization • Rise of new media • digitalization • convergence of platforms • media mobility • interactivity • ‘Entertainization’ of content • Mediatization of reality • Role of advertising and PR
Media System or Media Corporation?
• Critical Political Economy – how capitalism/market works – systems manufacturing consent • Media Economics: – National and global media industries in focus • Media Management: – micro level – newsroom management + managoing innovations and creativity
Media or Political System?
• Democracy – Public sphere – public service broadcasting – Transparency: impact of new media • Press Freedom • Political Elites and Parties – Political parallelism • Civil Society – Journalism vs. social networks
Ideal vs. Real
• ʻNormative media theory and associated research seemed to presume that there could be only one ideal model of a media system on which all should aspire. This view has long been challenged, but the door has been opened to contemplate alternate kinds of media system arrangements that might be appropriate culturally or material for a given country.

Changing the Focus: 2010s
• From global trends: to national nuances • From global companies: to national adaptations • From global/international institutions: to national networks • From dominating paradigms/concepts: to national theoreticizing
Why National? (1)
•
Legislation
= rules and legal frames for media business and performance •
Culture
= media production and consumption – Moral/ethics = value system(s) in media •
History
= collective identities and collective agreements in a society and in/between communities as reflected by media
Why National?(2)
• •
Geography
= the size matter (distribution, Imperial mentality, cost of technology, economic/cultural/religious/identity diversity)
Language
functions = journalism roles and – Role of news media – Publicistics
Media systems
– Always universal: variables – Always national: contexts – Always hybrid: under pressures of economic, social, and time change
