Michael Karlsson – författare

I Det svenska medielandskapet redovisas och diskuteras olika mediers villkor, och perspektiv ges på såväl historien som dagsläget och framtiden.

Medier och sociala nätverk är centrala för vår orientering i samhället. Men för att kunna bedöma det innehåll som förmedlas i olika kanaler är det viktigt för oss att känna till villkoren för deras verksamhet, från teknisk utveckling, ekonomiska förhållanden och politiska ställningstaganden till publikens intresse.

Boken har sedan första utgåvan 1970 kommit i många upplagor och titeln har förändrats i takt med medielandskapets förändring. Under många år var huvudtiteln Massmedier, men när Liber 2018 tog över utgivningen ändrades huvudtiteln till Det svenska medielandskapet.

Digitaliseringen genomsyrar hela samhället i dag, och det har också fått gälla för den här boken. Strukturen är därför omgjord, jämfört med tidigare upplagor. Boken inleds med medielogik i relation till plattformslogik. De traditionella nyhetsmedierna - press, radio och tv - är fortfarande centrala, men även de måste i dag förhålla sig till plattformslogiken.

Boken lämpar sig för journalistutbildningar på universitet, högskolor och folkhögskolor samt på kurser inom medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. Den är, genom sin sammanhållna form och sitt breda anslag, ett standardverk för alla som vill få en överblick över medielandskapet.

This book offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and accessible introduction to journalistic transparency.

Pulling from historical and theoretical perspectives, Transparency and Journalism explains the concept of transparency and its place in journalistic practice, offering a critical assessment of what transparency can and cannot offer to journalism. The author also reviews the key theoretical claims underlying transparency and how they have been researched in different parts of the world, ultimately proposing a communication model that can be used to study the concept of transparency across journalism research. Other topics discussed include the use of algorithmic forms of transparency, the limitations of the transparency myth, and suggestions for future avenues for research.

Transparency and Journalism is an important resource for students and scholars in the field of journalism and media studies, as well as for journalists and researchers interested in delving into an ever-relevant topic for the field.

The digital infrastructure of media production, dissemination and consumption is becoming increasingly complex, presenting the challenge of how we should research the digital journalism environment. Digital journalism takes many forms – we therefore need to revise, improve, adjust and even invent methods to understand emerging forms of journalism.

In this book, scholars at the forefront of methodological innovations in digital journalism research share their insights on how to collect, process and analyse the diverse expressions of digital journalism, including online news, search results, hyperlinks and social media posts. As digital journalism content often comes in the form of big data, many of these new approaches depart from the traditional methods used in media research in significant ways. As we move towards new ways of understanding digital journalism, the methods developed for such purposes also need to be grounded in scientific rigour. This book aims to share some of the emerging processes by which these methods, tools and approaches are designed, implemented and validated. As such, this book not only constitutes a benchmark for thinking about research methods in digital journalism, it also provides an entry point for graduate students and seasoned scholars aiming to do research on digital journalism. This book was originally published as a special issue of Digital Journalism.
