Swedish journalist suveys
The Swedish journalist survey is conducted at Dept of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at the University of Gothenburg. The questionnaire is submitted to randomly selected journalists from all over Sweden. The purpose of the study is to investigate how Swedish journalists perceive themselves and society, their professional role and work situation, the problems related to their code of professional ethics and the developments in the media sector. The first survey was done in 1989 and has conducted six times since than, most recently in 2011. The results are presented in the books Den svenska journalistkåren (Asp, 2007) and Svenska journalister 1989-2011 (Asp, 2012). The studies have also resulted in several articles and several doctoral dissertations in the academic study of journalism. The Swedish media system has changed dramatically since 1989. The state’s broadcast media monopoly has been abolished, commercial radio and TV, the Internet and a number of new media have emerged, and the work methods have changed, largely as a result of new technologies becoming available. landscape. Many questions asked as part of the survey are therefore the exact same as those asked in the very first survey in 1989. The long duration of the study is unique, both nationally and internationally. The long survey series is unique in an international perspective. A similar survey series are only available in the U.S.
