Streamed TV, social media, and daily newspaper subscriptions – this is how the Swedish population used media in 2022
Nine in ten of the Swedish population watched moving images on an average day in 2022 – streamed TV was most popular. Half of the population had a daily newspaper subscription, and Instagram was the most used social networking service – except among the oldest. Read the summary of the most important results from the Swedish Media Barometer 2022.
Swedish media consumption record high in 2022
Preceded by two years of a pandemic, 2022 was influenced by war and economic crisis, and it also included an election in Sweden and several international sports championships. All this meant that the Swedish population’s media consumption stayed at record-high levels, not least when it came to the use of professional news media. This is shown by the Swedish Media Barometer 2022 from Nordicom at the University of Gothenburg.

Digital surveillance in everyday life is seen as a necessary evil
We live today in a digital society where surveillance is constantly increasing. States and private companies surveil us, and we surveil ourselves and each other through social media, apps, and other new technologies. We handle this through both opposition and a pragmatic approach, according to a new research anthology, published by Nordicom.

Increased digitalisation and ownership concentration in the Swedish media landscape
A growing share of the Swedish population is turning away from traditional media, reduced advertisement revenues could affect citizens’ access to local news, and the ownership of the newspaper market has been concentrated to a few regional newspaper monopolies. The report MedieSverige 2023 [Media Sweden 2023] gives the reader an up-to-date and broad overview of today's Swedish media landscape.
Book-reading habits in a changing media landscape
A new Nordicom report investigates how digitalisation has affected the Swedish population’s book-reading habits and what they look like in different groups of the population. The report also looks into how book-reading habits were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the status of the book compared to other types of media.
