The audience and their use of the media have changed where available range has expanded while the size of the audience has remained the same. For media companies this implies a fight for the audience, where the right approach is vital for keeping as well as attracting new customers. Public service is an issue under current debate and its future role in the media industry has been brought into question. This survey investigates the roll of public service in Scandinavia in a new and changing media industry and how they should act to be important for their audience. The thesis targets how the public service phenomena works with new media channel, how they approach the change in how the audience consume media. The probable scenarios is based on the change between the current public service situation in the Nordic region and the future, where we put the future role of public service in a changing market into question. The study focuses on public service and is based on relevant theoretic frameworks and in-depth interviews. The theoretic-oriented framework is based on the phenomena from a change in media supply, a change in media consumption as well as how public service ought adjust to be in order for its survival. The interviews make out the core of the study, where key individuals from the industry have been interviewed. The direction of the interviews has been towards public service, emerging media, change in the audience, public service’s approach to their surroundings and how it can develop and become an organization adapted to today’s development. The conclusion of the study is that in order for public service to retain a function in the changing media environment have to maintain a high grade of audience utility. In order to do so, public service has to revaluate and change their strategy as the audience and their relation to and consumption of media services and products has changed.</p>

O mercado contemporâneo de mídia é dominado por um número cada vez menor de empresas, que competem entre si no mercado global. Resultantes de aquisições e fusões com atividades em várias frentes, as empresas compõem impérios midiáticos, classificados como conglomerados de mídia. Nesse contexto dos conglomerados, esta pesquisa analisa uma das vertentes do segmento de internet da The Walt Disney Company: a página da empresa no Facebook. Utilizando o referencial das indústrias de mídia e da economia de mídia como principal base teórica, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar as estratégias da empresa na sua relação com os usuários, especialmente aquelas de maior apelo junto ao público entre 9 e 15 anos, faixa etária contemplada pelas pesquisas TIC Domicílios e Usuários 2012 e TIC Kids Online Brasil 2012. Neste contexto, através da análise de postagens com promoções e propaganda de seus produtos, explícitas ou não (tais como filmes, jogos e desenhos animados), é possível identificar as inserções criativas da empresa no Facebook, as estratégias de marketing na referida página e as principais frentes do negócio internet da Disney Co. Para tanto, são usados também documentos oficiais (e públicos) da Companhia, em especial balanços anuais e informações divulgadas na imprensa. A metodologia adotada é a do estudo de caso incluindo as inserções feitas de 19 de maio de 2009 a 28 de janeiro de 2014, totalizando 529 postagens, e os relatórios fiscais anuais a partir de 1999, com ênfase no documento de 2013. As postagens são analisadas e categorizadas de modo a permitir a identificação do segmento do negócio Disney ao qual cada uma se refere. Com isso, o intuito é verificar as principais metas da empresa na rede social Facebook.

The Out-of-home advertising media are far more expansive than they used to be, and the shape and format of these media globally, as well as in South Africa, have changed considerably over the past few decades. Until rather recently, the out-ofhome advertising media landscape consisted primarily of outdoor advertising or billboards; but these days, this has expanded to include other platforms, such as transit advertising media, street and retail furniture advertising media, and a wide variety of alternative out-of-home advertising media types. This proliferation of out-of-home advertising media, the scant research on out-of-home advertising media planning and the number of obstacles in the South African advertising- and media industry have emphasised the need for a clear understanding of the changing nature of out-of-home advertising media and the planning and integration thereof. No previous study has addressed the integration of different out-of-home advertising media platforms as part of an integrated marketing communication plan. Very little has been published on how out-of-home advertising media planning across platforms should actually be done, even more so in a developing country such as South Africa. It was therefore necessary to investigate this further, in order to propose a framework for guiding the planning and integration of out-of-home advertising media; and one that can be applied in the South African environment. The main aim of this study was to explore how experienced out-of-home advertising media specialists plan and integrate different out-of-home advertising media platforms, as part of an overall integrated marketing communication plan. This, together with an extensive investigation into the relevant literature, was then used to develop a framework for the planning and integration of out-of-home advertising media in South Africa. Purposive sampling was used to select ten out-of-home media specialists from within prominent media-only agencies, and out-of-home advertising media-specialist agencies in South Africa. The specialists selected were responsible for planning out-of-home advertising media strategies of several of the largest advertisers in South Africa. These advertisers included Coca Cola, Unilever, Brandhouse, Cadbury, Pantene, Pfizer, Vodacom, Cell C, MTN, Spar, Shoprite, KFC, ABSA, Standard Bank Nedbank, Visa, Sony, Virgin Active, Adidas, Green Cross, Kulula airlines, NuMetro and Eskom. In-depth interviews with these specialists were conducted, using a basic guiding framework or interview guide. Qualitative thematic analysis was applied to the transcribed interviews using the software program, ATLAS.ti. The qualitative findings revealed nine themes, related to three theoretical constructs, namely: the alignment of the out-of-home advertising media campaign with the overall integrated marketing communication plan; the planning of out-of-home advertising media; and the evaluation and research of out-of-home advertising media It was recommended that specialists who understand the requirements of coordination and integration on several levels should do the planning of out-of-home advertising media. These are firstly, the alignment between the out-of-home advertising campaign and the overall integrated marketing communication plan objectives; secondly, the co-ordination between the message strategy and an out-ofhome advertising media plan; and thirdly, the integration between different platforms and formats used in the out-of-home advertising media mix. To optimally achieve integration on all these different levels required vertical integration and communication between all the role-players involved: the advertisers, the advertising agency, the media agency and the out-of-home media specialists. Effective integrated out-of-home advertising media campaigns can no longer be treated as mere add-ons; they should be part of the planning right from the start. / Thesis (DCom)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Marketing Management / DCom / Unrestricted

The goal of this paper will be to show in three single case studies the basic characteristics of nazi propaganda on the teritory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Firstly, picturing of the enemy, both outside enemy (coverage of the war, bombing of civilians) and enemy within (primary jewish question). Because picture of the enemy was the key to the nazi propaganda itself. Than I continue with the study of the longterm, ideological efforts and goals nazi propaganda had in the protectorate. Here, the main target was czech youth and reinterpretation of the czech history itself. In the last case study i'm observing short term efforts nazis had. These efforts were driven primarily by the necesity of war production and need to use full potential of the strong czech industry. All these cases are then summarized and my goal it to show their effectivity on their respective fields of influence. (industrial production, creation of combat troops, voluntary membership in the collaboration organizations, etc.)

Outsourcing är ett organisationsverktyg som kan ge möjligheten att utvidga kompetensen inom ett företag. Tidigare studier visar att SME-företag har ett större behov av att outsourca, men kan behöva stöd för att ta rätt beslut. Inom akademin förklaras verkligheten på ett förenklat sätt genom teoretiska modeller som inte alltid blir testade i praktiken. Denna studie utvärderar en nyskapad teoretisk modell om beslutsprocesser för outsourcing av digitala marknadsföringsuppdrag, för att undersöka vad som styr outsourcingbeslut inom SME-företag i Sverige. Fem företag deltog i studien genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och diskussioner om beslutsmodellen. I teorianknytningen behandlas huvudämnena marknadsföring, outsourcing och beslutsmodellen. Resultatet visar hur de deltagande företagen arbetar med huvudämnena marknadsföring och outsourcing, samt deras åsikter om beslutsmodellen. Resultatet har analyserats och tolkats till företagens olika attityder om huvudämnena samt företagens interna förutsättningar och hur det påverkar företagen. För att kunna besvara studiens frågeställningar diskuteras företagens finansiella brister, kompetensbrist, konkurrenskraft, tidsbrist, beslutsmodellen samt outsourcingbeslut mot teorianknytning. Tre av fem SME-företag anser beslutsmodellen som användbar, men beslutsprocessen är alltför generell för att appliceras på mediebranschens olika verksamhetsområden. / A way for a company to extend its competencies is to use outsourcing as a management tool. Previous studies show that SMEs have a greater need for outsourcing but also need support to make the right decision. Academia explains reality through simplified, theoretical models. It’s not always that these models are tested for their practical use. This study contains an evaluation of an newly created model of the decision-making processes to outsource digital marketing activities to examine what controls these decisions within SMEs in Sweden. Five companies took part in this study through semi-structured interviews and discussions about the decision model. The collected theory involves the main subjects: marketing, outsourcing, and the decision model. The result shows how the partaking companies conduct business relating to marketing and outsourcing, as well as their opinions about the decision model. The result has been analyzed and interpreted to the companies' different attitudes about the main subjects as well as the companies' internal qualifications and how this affects the companies. To be able to answer the study's framing of questions the following topics about the companies are discussed: lack of financial assets, lack of competence, competitiveness, lack of time, the decision model as well as the decisions to outsource in relation to the collected theory. Three out of the five SME companies perceive the decision model to be useful. However, the decision-making process is too general to apply to all the different areas of activity within the media industry.

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the media industry is examined in this thesis study. A full understanding of the effects of AI integration in many dimensions of the media landscape is provided through a methodical review of the literature that highlights key themes and ideas. The study examines labour dynamics, historical evolution, content generation and curation, media distribution and consumption, advertising and marketing strategies, the theoretical foundations of AI in the media sector, and ethical concerns. The study shows how AI has changed the media industry by making automated data analysis possible, enhancing content creation and curation, personalising user experiences, maximising advertising techniques, altering workforce dynamics, and creating substantial ethical issues. While efficiency, customisation, and creativity are advantages of AI, privacy issues, job displacement, and algorithmic bias all require careful study. The results highlight the need for moral guidelines, skill-updating techniques, and ethical AI practises. The effort contributes to the corpus of existing knowledge and shapes the course that AI will take in the media industry by flagging research gaps, methodological developments, and policy implications.
