Our study shows if and how Swedish public service television has changed its content from the time when SVT had monopoly until this day when the competition is greater than ever. We got an insight in what has been presented to the audience by studying TV schedules from 1975 to 2009. The study examines four weeks during the years when the two main channels SVT1 and SVT2 have been broadcasting. One week each of these following years have been examined: 1975, 1985, 1995 and 2009. These years have been chosen to get an insight in what content the TV schedules presented before and after SVT got competition in the Swedish TV market. A total of 28 days and 56 TV schedules have been examined. This was done with a quantitative analysis and with an own model of ten categories that has helped us to sort the TV shows based on their content. Even though it was not a great difference, the result shows that the percentage of news has decreased since 1975. But it was not possible to see if the TV shows that replaced the news in the TV schedule was of an entertaining kind. The study also shows that a new kind of TV shows have taken a large spot in the schedules. Nowadays it is common that a TV show mix different kind of categories during its broadcasting time. One example is Gomorron Sverige. Furthermore we have seen that live debates take a large place in the TV schedules in 2009, especially during the day time. Besides that, the sizes of the categories have been pretty even during the 34 years. SVT has not made any significant changes since the monopoly was broken and the competition became a reality. We have also noticed that the broadcasting time has increased a lot since 1975. It is particularly obvious in the day time where there many years ago were no broadcasting at all. Our main purpose with the study was to examine if there is less news today in favour of TV shows of a more entertaining kind.

No. of bitstreams: 1 PAULO ROBERTO RAMOS - DISSERTAÇÃO PPGCS 2003..pdf: 21868091 bytes, checksum: d17f83a2d24ad1cfd4eb56b9723ebdc7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2003-03 / CNPq / Capes / A importância da mídia (mass media) na constituição do imaginário e das práticas sociais tem despertado a atenção de muitos pesquisadores para o estudo do chamado poder simbólico que engendra e, ainda, dos seus desdobramentos na vida cotidiana das populações. Em regra, a mídia tem tratado a problemática ambiental de maneira limitada, ou como preservacionismo de áreas naturais, ou promovendo o ecoturismo, ou assumindo um discurso tecnicista de um conhecimento especialista e distante da vida cotidiana das populações locais. O objetivo central deste trabalho é contribuir com a compreensão dos impactos do discurso midiático na percepção dos riscos dos problemas ambientais. Procuramos observar como tais fenômenos (mídia e degradação ambiental) se intercomunicam para a formação das práticas sociais e discursivas, no estabelecimento do status quo, na formação das hierarquias sociais e das estruturas de poder, que se manifestam numa sociedade com índices crescentes de degradação social e ambiental. Através da análise da programação da TV, principalmente a Rede Globo, e de outros meios de comunicação social de massa, bem como do acompanhamento da vida cotidiana das populações pesquisadas, com o auxilio das técnicas da Observação Participante e da Análise de Discurso, foi possível perceber como ocorre a influência do discurso midiático na formação de uma racionalidade e de uma lógica discursiva que acabam justificando e estimulando os desequilíbrios e desigualdades existentes. Observamos que prevalece na mídia uma lógica pautada nas hierarquias e diferenças sociais e nos processos de degradação ambiental, enquanto aspectos invariáveis e permanentes do desenvolvimento humano. Identificamos a existência de uma contradição formada entre os apelos ecológicos e a institucionalização dos problemas ambientais que se manifestam pulverizados e isolados na mídia, ao mesmo tempo em que ocorre a reprodução da racionalidade e das práticas de degradação ambiental por toda programação, e de diferentes formas na vida cotidiana das populações pesquisadas. / The importance of the media (mass media) in the constitution of the imaginary and of the social practices it has been waking up the many researchers' attention for the srudy of the call to can symbolic that engenders and, still, of your unfoldings in the daily life of the populations. In ruie, the media has agreement the environmental problem in a limited way, or as preservationism of natural áreas, or promoting the echo-tourism, or assuming a speech technicism ofa specialist and distant knovvledge ofthe daily life ofthe local populations. The objective headquarters o!this work is to contribute with the understanding of the impacts of the speech mediatic in the perception of the risks of the environmental problems. We tried to observe as such phenomena (media and environmental degradation) they intercommunicate for the formation of the you practice social and discursive, in the establishment of the status quo, in the formation of the social hierarchies and of the structures of power, that show in a society with growing indexes of social and environmental degradation. Through the analysis of the programming of the TV, mainly the Rede Globo, and of other means of social communication of mass, as well as of the accompaniment of the daily life of the researched populations, with I aid him of the techniques of the Participant Observation and ofthe Analysis of Speech, it was possible to notice how it happens the influence ofthe speech mediatic in the formation of a rationality and of a discursive logic that end up justifying and stimulating the unbalances and existent inequalities. We observed that prevails in the media a ruled logic in the hierarchies and social differences and in the processes of environmental degradation, while invariable and permanent aspects of the human development. We identified the existence of a contradiction formed between the ecological appeals and the institutions of the environmental problems that show powdered and isolated in the media, at the same time in that happens the reproduction of the rationality and of the practices of environmental degradation for ali programming, and in different ways in the daily life of the researched populations.
