ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces recent research on migration and media in the Nordic region. It sheds light on the consequences of the changing political and demographical climate for media development. The Nordic countries have gone through substantial cultural and social changes due to increased migration from the 1970s onwards. The chapter suggests that transnational media seems to imply novel construction of cross-border networks above and beyond the framework of nationality, a spatialized view in the round. It demonstrates how media engagement articulates new temporal and spatial relationships, and widens modes of identification available to ethnic minority youth in Norway. It highlights the emergence of transnational television in Finland and in particular the uses of satellite television among immigrant youth. The Nordic countries are often perceived as very similar, sharing the same welfare-state model. While this is largely true, it is interesting to observe that the patterns of migration, the national legislation and the composition of the migrant population reveal substantial differences.
