Updated data for MedieSverige 2023
MedieSverige 2023 is a report from Nordicom that consists of descriptions and data about the Swedish media landscape and its development. If you are looking for more recent numbers, there is now an update of the information on which the report’s charts and analyses are based.
Reduced profitability for the media despite record high media usage
The Swedish media year of 2022 was influenced by a great public interest in receiving information from the media about the continued Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the Swedish general election. During the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, media companies were also affected by rising costs, decreasing advertising revenues, and a declining economy. This is shown by the report Medieekonomi 2023 [Media economy 2023].

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.

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.
