During the 20th century, the interview has evolved in such a way that it has become the dominating form for talk and text production in the mass media (i.e. in newspapers, radio, television).

Radio, TV & Internet in the Nordic Countries. Meeting the Challenges of New Media Technology brings together a number of scholars from different Nordic countries to shed light upon issues of vital importance that arise when dealing with television, radio and Internet in the Nordic media landscape; such as convergence, Internet and the public sphere, public service broadcasting in the new media landscape, Nordic radio digital development and the media policy of the European Union.
Geographies of Communication: The Spatial Turn in Media Studies
The relationship between space and communication is becoming more complex. Mediatisation blurs the boundaries between different spaces, as well as between dimensions of space. It also leads to the re-articulation of geographical territories – often (re)producing socio-political values and power struggles. This book departs from the assertion that the changing character of media society calls for a spatial turn in media studies. There are clear signs that such a turn is on its way. But no account has yet been formulated for the full potential of this.
In the Service of Young People?: Studies and Reflections on Media in the Digital Age
For the present yearbook, the Clearinghouse has tried to assemble contributions by researchers from different parts of the world in order to shed light on issues of vital importance that arise when dealing with a subject such as ’media in the service of young people’.

These articles exhibit theoretical visions and empirical examples of what constitutes – and what does not constitute – media and media contents in the service of children and youth.
Regulation, Awareness, Empowerment: Young People and Harmful Media Content in the Digital Age
In 2005 UNESCO asked the International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media to prepare a publication on ‘Efforts and Innovative Approaches to Reduce Violence in Electronic and Digital Media’. This volume presents the results of the work the Clearinghouse has done in response to that request. Violence is no longer an adequate heading; today, terms like “harmful media content” or “harm and offence in media content” are more in keeping with the situation. It is this broader term that forms our point of departure in this work.

Cultural Dilemmas in Public Service Broadcasting: RIPE@2005
In recent years public service broadcasting seems caught in a radicalized dilemma between two obligations. To serve and preserve national culture and identity has for decades been an essential mandated obligation. At the same time, being a ‘window to the world’ has also been central to the remit. How can PSB handle the challenges of being custodians of diluted national identities amid a variety of heterogeneous cultures on the one hand, and simultaneously acting as explorers of global orientation on the other?

Diffusion of the News Paradigm 1850-2000
Media history is much more than a collection of chronological narratives set within national borders. As a social system media has several sustaining parts, at the same time different and interdependent. Some of these parts are international in origin while some are truly nationally or regionally unique in their development. Thus media history internationally can serve as a laboratory to help detect the impact of political ideologies and other traditions, which influence journalism as a textual genre. It is in this spirit the following chapters have been written, collected and edited.
