STT – ei vain ”asiallista ja tylsää sisältöä”
Sanoman ilmoitus lopettaa STT:n palvelujen käyttö oli dramaattinen uutinen lehtialalle, koska yhtiö on uutistoimiston suurin omistaja ja samalla sen suurin asiakas. STT:n liian keskittynyt omistus näyttäytyi äkkiä realisoituvana riskinä, joka on saattamassa sen koko tulevaisuuden vaakalaudalle. Tässä analyysissa tarkastelemme STT:n talouden, omistuksen ja asiakaskunnan kehitystä samoin kuin asiakaslehtien muuttunutta tilannetta. Lopuksi arvioimme…
Keskittyminen ja konsernisisällöt
Tilausten ja ilmoitusmäärien hiipuminen yhdistyneenä jakelun kallistumiseen on ajanut tällä vuosituhannella alueidensa keskuskaupungeissa ilmestyvät sanomalehdet vaikeuksiin ja johtanut jakelukierteeseen. Toimialan keskittyessä lehtitalot ovat hakeneet säästöjä yhdistämällä toimintojaan ja tiivistämällä samaan ketjuun kuuluvien lehtien yhteistyötä. Tämän on tutkimuksissa oletettu ilmenevän sisältöjen lisääntyvänä yhdenmukaisuutena. Konkreettisia …
Industry or relevant market? Emfa and two different perspectives on newspaper concentration
When media researchers and policy makers talk about media concentration, they usually mean the concentration of ownership in individual media industries nationwide. When economists and competition authorities talk about media concentration, they mean the concentration of sales or production in the relevant market under consideration. The former, the democratic perspective, emphasises the social and political consequences of concentration, such as…
Lukeminen on statuslaji
Kirja-arvio teoksesta Riie Heikkilä (2024) Miksi lakkasimme lukemasta? Sosiologinen tulkinta lukemisen muutoksesta
Ykköslehdet alakynnessä
Maakuntien johtavat lehdet eli niin sanotut ykköslehdet ovat perinteisesti muodostaneet sanomalehdistön selkärangan Suomessa. Viime vuosituhannen lopulle saakka alueellinen ykköslehti kannettiin lähes jokaiseen kotiin ja se tarjosi monille lukijoille uutisseurannan perustan. Verkkomedian aikakaudella ykköslehtien merkitys uutislähteenä on kuitenkin vähentynyt. Ne näyttävät kärsivän toimialan kutistumisesta ja digisiirtymän hitaudesta enemmän kuin…
Yleisradion rajat kilpailuoikeuden silmin

Lehdistön alueelliset valtiaat
Kun mediatutkimuksessa ja viestintäpolitiikassa puhutaan median keskittymisestä, tarkastelutaso on yleensä valtakunnallinen. Taloustieteessä ja kilpailuoikeudessa keskittymistä ja kilpailua puolestaan tarkastellaan yleensä vain relevanttien markkinoiden osalta. Koska Suomessa vain harvat lehdet leviävät merkittävästi kotimaakuntansa ulkopuolelle, toimialan keskittymistä tarkastellaan tässä alueellisesti. Teoreettisesti artikkeli ammentaa media…
Lehtiketjut ja lehdistön "uusi normaali"
Sanomalehdistön on 2000-luvulla havaittu ketjuuntuneen ja keskittyneen enenevästi muutamien lehtitalojen käsiin. Niin tutkimuksessa, viestintäpolitiikassa kuin julkisessa keskustelussa käsitykset lehdistön keskittymisen asteesta kuitenkin vaihtelevat riippuen tarkastelijasta ja tarkastelutavasta. Artikkeli nojaa omistuksen keskittymistä tutkineeseen perinteeseen ja analysoi sanomalehdistön keskittymistä valtakunnallisella tasolla Suomessa vuosina…
Public service hit radio? Playlists and product differentiation in the competition for listeners
Since the 1960s, public service broadcasters have attempted to meet the demand for music by young listeners. As commercial radio offerings have expanded, and as public broadcasters are monitored more closely than before, the question arises as to what degree and in which ways public service radio should differ from commercially formatted stations. This article analyses the differentiation strategies applied in music programming by major radio sta…
Cultural Mediators Seduced by Mad Men
Based on theories about the role of cultural mediators in cultural production and using the TV series Mad Men as a case, this article investigates how cultural journalists in the Nordic countries have contributed to legitimizing “quality TV series” as a worthy field of aesthetic consumption. Key analytical points are as follows: (1) cultural journalists legitimize Mad Men ’s quality by addressing aspects internal (aesthetic markers) and aspects e…
Liquid Modern Journalism with a Difference
Reflecting a change from high to liquid modern culture, journalism is said to be encountering a transformation from high towards liquid modernity. Cultural journalism, however, has been found to be “journalism with a difference”. Due to this distinctive character, the principles of general journalism do not directly apply to cultural journalism. Consequently, the manifestations and consequences of the high and liquid modern ethos appear different…
Koko illan ilo? Kolmoskanava ja television kaupallistuminen Suomessa
Channel Three will entertain you when television gets too seriousâ , the new entrant in Finlandâ s broadcast television announced proudly at its launch in 1986. Channel Three was the first fully commercial television channel in the Nordic countries, founded and owned by a group of odd bedfellows: the public broadcaster YLE, its long standing commercial companion MTV and a growing electronics giant Nokia. The plans to start a commercial TV station…
From aesthetes to reporters
The crisis of cultural journalism has recently been a topical issue in many countries. In Finland, too, it has been claimed that arts pages, previously dominated by aesthetically oriented critics, have been shrinking and become more news oriented and entertaining. In this article, we explore the change of structures, values and ideals of arts reporting as friction between two opposing paradigms, the aesthetic and the journalistic, and analyse how…
Liberal turn in media policy
According to the influential typology by Daniel Hallin and Paolo Mancini, Finland's media system follows the democratic corporatist model, rather than the polarized plural or the liberal model. The article analyses digitalization of television in Finland and, in particular, its licensing policy as an example of convergence of national media systems towards the liberal model. Using original media policy documents and recent research on programme s…
Does Market-Entry Regulation Matter
This article examines the impact of changes in market structures and accompanying policies in the diversity of Finnish television’s programme content between 1993 and 2002. The analysis of the media policy and measurement of television supply indicate that, in Finland, the shift from a public service led situation to that of a mixed system with two public service and two commercial nationwide channels has not resulted in drastic changes in the di…
Diversity - An End in Itself
The scope of this article is methodological, focusing on the measurement of programme diversity on television. In recent research literature programme diversity has been understood too narrowly. In order to avoid typical pitfalls of diversity studies, the article discusses the concept and dimensions of diversity and, then, develops four parallel measures of breadth of programming and difference between channels, applicable for the analysis of bot…
Legitimations of Television Programme Policies
A Toy for the Boys Only
Discussing the gendering of technology, the article concentrates on one specific domestic technology, which is often considered as `male' dominated, the video cassette recorder (VCR). Comparing and elaborating research results from different countries, the article suggests that (1) the picture of the VCR as a masculine technology, purported in recent British studies in particular, is not necessarily valid for countries with less strict gender pat…
New revisionism in cultural studies
Public service television and the tendency towards convergence
Les AA. analysent l'organisation et l'evolution des programmes du service public de la television en Finlande durant les annees 1970-1992. Les programmes de television dans ce pays se partagent en trois canaux, dont ils etudient l'evolution de 1970 a 1992. Ils montrent, a partir de cette etude, que la Finlande developpe un modele de strategie mixte en matiere de programmes televises, a la fois mi-publique et mi-commerciale
