About the course
The course introduces you to theories and research on media, democracy and the welfare state. The course presents contemporary, comparative and historical perspectives on media systems and the role of media in sustaining democracy. A particular focus is placed on the Nordic and Swedish welfare states and their media systems, which have been argued to have been particularly successful from a democratic point of view.
