After this, annually, is losing half a billion in ad revenue, in line with the whole of the mediestödet, it is time for the policy to be sure that the money is spent where it is most needed.
Our analysis is that the peace process during the last decades, digitalization has weakened the most, at the outside of the periphery of the small region. Discontinued lokalredaktioner, and the concentration of the major media groups is eroding in many places, the local peace process. Added to this is the closure of the daily local papers, which Laholms Newspaper and later by the general manager.
The new support is a direct result of the medieutredning, which pointed to the fact that most parts of Sweden, were left to local media outlets.
One of the state’s budget, which lumps together all the mediestöd in a single bag, and in which the lokaljournalistikens the white spots get it in the spiral of operating aid, is distributed.
But the point of this is media policies he found on the floor, there has been a ‚thumb‘. While a number of municipalities have received more lokaljournalistik, but the vast majority of the increase in the resources available to the mediestöd have gone straight into a number of major dagstidningars-ending supply of cash registers. Not even half of the support that the local applied to the weakly guarded areas could be shared.
In the Mediestudiers the database of reviews of lokalbevakning (kommundatabas.media studies.se), the rise of the redaktionslösa the municipalities of the ”white spots”, come to a halt this year. This is the first time since we started to count the reviews in 2015, which is the white patches do not spread out from one year to the next, and the reason is, among other things, that some municipalities have received increased coverage due to the new mediestödet.
Lokalredaktioner has been established in, for example, Bräcke and International, and other local authorities, but editorial board, which is No, Sorsele, Guangzhou and Ragunda has been specialbevakning of the new institute is based at a different location.
The total number of offices of the local samhällsbevakning continues to diminish, but this decrease does not seem to further beat the already most disadvantaged communities.
Behind all this is a budget that lumps together all the mediestöd in a single bag, and in which the lokaljournalistikens the white spots get it in the spiral of operating aid, is distributed.
this is the system For the 2019 was mediestödet 652 million from the state’s coffers. In the first place, go mediestödet to what is called “ operating aids, state subsidies for newspapers, which have a weak position in the advertising market. Up until this year, this is primarily the so-called andratidningar, they have a major competitor which has taken most of them. This is the prerogative of the newspaper to which they meet the criteria that the government set up a „magic limit“ is a hushållstäckning of 30 per cent. If a newspaper falls below this, it is considered to be sufficiently weak in order to get the mediestöd.
Almost all of the increase is due to the edition of the (analog and digital), three major newspapers has dropped enough for them to come in, the Seed, the independent, and All of the Museums. Three strong förstatidningar, which now reaches less than 30 per cent of the population in their distribution.
While support for the three major papers, they are in a better position in local journalism in the relative välbevakade cities and towns in the surrounding area. However, this also means that there is hardly any money left for the new and much talked about support for the lokaljournalistik. Nor does the innovation system, which will help newspapers in the digital transition.
the lokaljournalistikstödet to be distributed in the spring, there were 101 qualified applications received a total of 71 million, in order to strengthen local journalism in areas in which the lokalredaktioner have been shut down and the security guards almost ceased to exist. However, only 30 million could be given to the areas most in need. The efforts of the 40 million, was rejected. It is not because they do not meet the requirements, but only because there was money left over in the system.
the newspapers can qualify for operating support.
Only the four major recipients, the Swedish newspaper svenska Dagbladet, the very large TELESCOPE, Uppsala nya Tidning, and the Lord-which is Why it will be able to collect a total of more than 100 million u.s. dollars, when the decision is made. Almost as much as the parliament had decided to increase the mediestödet during the year 2020. This means that, in 2020 it will be possible to support the local peace process in the way in which the medieutredningen them. There is hardly any money left over after the major papers, had its operating support.
The local media is a part of democracy’s infrastructure, and for the purpose of this new form of support for the lokaljournalistik in a low guarded areas, to re-create part of the infrastructure. This effect had been even more so if the support for the lokaljournalistik had a separate line item in the budget, and not only the current errors when the operating aid, is distributed. Then, all of the 101 eligible applications in the 2019 to be able to gain the support of these weakly secured sites is so badly needed, and also the new applications, which will by 2020 be able to get the support. In this lokaljournalistikstöd every penny for the improved local search.
Or is it a sign that the government have been surprised by the speed of the major daily newspapers, upplageras and annonskris. Or is it just a budgettekniskt part.
no matter What the reason is, you should be able to ensure that the local peace process in a low guarded areas, the support was intended. If the political will is there.
