Media market concentration increases in Sweden

Press release
 | 12 December 2024
Over the past decade, the number of owners of Swedish news media has declined. This is highlighted in the new report, Koncentrerad mångfald i global konkurrens [Concentrated Diversity in Global Competition], written by Tobias Lindberg, media researcher at Nordicom, University of Gothenburg. The trend toward fewer owners has been driven by various deregulations, economic downturns, and new market dynamics.
