Conceptualising Youth Media Strategies
Screen entertainment and the ‘youth challenge’
Influencer autonomy
In this article, we explore the often-overlooked concept of autonomy among influencers. We define influencer autonomy as the sense of control and self-governing freedom that influencers perceive in their everyday life and work. Based on in-depth interviews with 28 Norwegian influencers, influencer managers, and legacy media experts working with influencers, our research uncovers a complex interplay between influencers’ sense of autonomy and restr…
Reimagining 'home advantage
This article investigates the media entertainment habits of Norwegian teens and the strategies employed by domestic media organisations to attract them amidst competition from transnational streamers and social media. Drawing on interviews with media professionals and teens, we analyse how the notions of 'home advantage' and cultural proximity hold up in a media environment defined by abundant global options. The findings suggest that while teens…
Towards streaming as a dominant mode of media use? A user typology approach to music and television streaming
Music and television streaming services present users with abundant catalogues of content available on demand. We investigate whether users respond by narrowing or widening the diversity of content they consume. Further, we examine how the different logics characterising music and television streaming are mirrored in the number of streaming services people use. To do so, we compare non-, sporadic, regular, and frequent users of television and mus…
Conceptualizing the Experiential Affordances of Watching Online TV
This article investigates the experiential affordances of watching online TV as outcomes of the material underpinnings of online TV and the actions taken by viewers. Potential experiential changes derive from how online TV services can be considered libraries of content affording self-scheduling action possibilities. Such changes need to be situated in the slow-to-change conditions of television viewing. We draw on a qualitative study of how view…
Global platforms and asymmetrical power
Global platforms have radically changed institutional dynamics within the media industry. In this study, we explore how national media organisations manoeuvre in an increasingly uneven playing field. Combining theoretical perspectives from platform studies and the media policy field approach, we analyse how asymmetrical platform power impacts industry-policy relations in a small-nation context. We find that national players collectively frame the…
Provocation
Interviews with industry workers and decision-makers are a critical method in television studies. Yet, one group of informants proves particularly hard to access - representatives from global media platforms. Why is it so hard to get interviews with global platform representatives, and what does the lack of access do to our research and scholarly debate
Youthification' of drama through real-time storytelling
This article explores the 'youthification' of television through real-time storytelling. It draws on a study of the online youth drama blank (2018-2019), NRK's first follow-up after the hit show SKAM (2015-2017). It finds that real-time drama brings unique opportunities to broadcasters aiming to reconnect with younger audiences, but also substantial challenges. This insight is essential, as previous studies have highlighted the format's advantage…
Ins and outs of transmedia fandom
This article investigates the motives for entering a digital fan community and becoming a fan for the first time—and, subsequently, leaving it again—by focusing on these fans’ main entry and exit points. It looks at the fan community following the Norwegian hit show SKAM (2015–17), which grew over its four seasons into a global cult phenomenon with viewers and fans of all ages from around the world. Empirically, the article draws on forty-seven i…
Streaming across industries
This article explores streaming across the cultural industries, drawing on 39 interviews with CEO/top-level industry executives working in the Norwegian music, film, television, and book industries. We examine two broad questions: What dokey industry players see as the main opportunities and challenges of streaming?To what extent do industry players compare with and learn from other industries when making sense of, and seeking solutions to, the m…
From problem to solution? Why it is difficult to restrict the remit of public broadcasters
This article discusses the conditions for making policy change, and, more precisely, factors explaining why policy change is often hard to achieve even when key policy actors explicitly throw their weight behind it. It draws on a comparative analysis of two specific review processes in Britain and Norway, addressing the future remits of the public service broadcasters BBC and NRK. In both cases, the processes were initiated by governments explici…
Policy windows and converging frames
This study analyzes how media industry players have influenced media political solutions to digitalization, using data from the daily press and policy documents in the period from 1998 to 2017 as sources. It concentrates on two specific areas of media policy: public service broadcasting (PSB) and press subsidies. Based on a media policy field approach, this study identifies key collective frames and the players that promote them, and shows how po…
From 'secret' online teen drama to international cult phenomenon
This article addresses the production, distribution and global expansion of the online teen drama, SKAM/SHAME (2015-2017), produced by the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK. The article combines perspectives on transmedia storytelling with production studies and studies of public service broadcasting to investigate the distinct production, publishing and promotion models underpinning SKAM, as well as its public service mission. Furthermore…
Theorizing policy-industry processes
This article develops a theoretical perspective to study the conditions for media policy formation under the condition of digitalization – the Media Policy Field approach – building on an organizational field approach in combination with theories of policy development. The theory of strategic action fields offers a meso-level view of how actors in media fields interact and how their respective opportunities for influencing policy are structured b…
Play moods across the life course in SKAM fandom
This article considers fans’ playful digital practices and focuses on the play moods that are co-constructed in online fan communities. We analyse how these play moods are negotiated across the life course for participating fans. Play moods are closely tied to the playful modes of fan practices, and by gaining a greater understanding of the moods that fans engage in at different stages of their life course we gain new insights into fan play as it…
Producing Online Youth Fiction in a Nordic Public Service Context
This article investigates the conditions for making online youth fiction in a public service context at a time when young people increasingly are abandoning both legacy mass media and linear flow television to consume and share content online. The article’s starting point is the production of online youth fiction in two Nordic public service institutions, the Norwegian NRK and the Danish DR, and it discusses how digitisation and new competitors p…
Co-Produced Television Drama and the Cost of Transnational ‘Success’
The functions of buzzwords
It is a key task for media research to uncover the assumptions underpinning fashion terms like buzzwords, and to show their functions in business, political debate and social life. In this article, we ask which purposes media buzzwords serve, and for whom. We also question the presumed newness of buzzwords. By critically addressing two corresponding terms — ‘Web 2.0’ and ‘telematics’ — we argue that a media buzzword serves three important functio…
From Fear of Television to Fear for Television
New media technologies are often met with political and public ambivalence, as they are perceived to threaten established activities, values and institutions, as well as bring progress and improve political, cultural and social life. Taking the Norwegian history of television as an empirical case study, this article relates to an international research agenda focusing on the cultural political debates in the early phases of broadcast media. The a…
Working Notions of Active Audiences
Recent research on the media industries has been centrally concerned with the blurring of boundaries between production and reception in an era of digitalization and convergence. The article argues for a need for research to consider more closely the importance of notions of the ‘active audience’ within today’s media industries. Overall conceptual work has been done on ‘convergence culture’, and much scholarly debate currently centres around the …
