Abstract
Description
The purpose of this paper is to discuss Swedish media developments between 2000 and 2020 in
terms of critical junctures. This includes examination of media developments in relation to four
defined domains (Legal and Ethical Regulation: Journalism; Media Usage Patterns, and Media
User-Related Competencies). In this paper we ask how the Swedish developments within the
four domains can be understood in terms of opportunities and risks connected to deliberate
communication. In the Swedish case, what seems to be significative is the relative absence of
clearly defined country-specific junctures. Mostly, we observe many small, incremental changes
and gradual developments of risks.
