“Vi blir som en liten ambassadör i Facebooklandet” : En uppsats om Sveriges Radios närvaro på FacebookWillén, Nina January 2011 (has links)
Title: “We become like a little ambassador in the country of Facebook” – an essay on the pres-ence of Swedish National Radio on Facebook. (“Vi blir som en liten ambassador I Facebooklan-det” – En uppsats om Sveriges Radios närvaro på Facebook) Number of pages: 34 (46 including enclosures) Author: Nina Willén Tutor: Christian ChristensenCourse: Media and Communication Studies C Period: Fall 2010 University: Department of Informatics and Media, Uppsala University Purpose/Aim: My purpose is to examine what the presence of the Swedish National Radio on a commercial network like Facebook means and how the editors themselves argue about it. For the analysis I use critical political economy as a theoretical point of view. Material/Method: The material consists of interviews made from a qualitative method. The informants are delegates from the editorial staff of the Swedish National Radio’s channels P3 and P4. Main results: Even though Facebook is a good tool for spreading information and getting in touch with people, it still is a commercial network and that cannot be forgotten. Companies use the surveillance structure of Facebook to collect information from their potential costumers so that the users can see tailored advertising on the site. The presence of the Public Service-based Swedish National Radio makes the users want to stay at Facebook and keep them entertained so that the companies can gather more information and thus earn more money. Keywords: Social networking, critical political economy, Facebook, surveillance, scrutinizing, communication, web 2.0, Public Service.
