At the end of the year ended Pressombudsmannen, PO. After a period of 50 years, have criticised the journalistic excesses in the press and turned the PO into the Public media ombudsman (MO). The transformation is TOUGH, and Media in Sweden, the Swedish magazines, the publicist club, the Association, the TV4, the Swedish Television (SVT), Sveriges Radio (SR) and Swedish educational Broadcasting company (UR).
high-quality journalism is under pressure. The new Medieombudsmannen is an important step for the responsible media to be shared to emphasize the importance of free and responsible journalism. It is a system that safeguards the respect and self-reliance.
the criticism that the traditional media is subjected. It will take a number of forms:
the Press are being accused of the alternative media, in order to give a mendacious and untrue picture of the reality of the situation.
• Individual journalists are subjected to systematic hatred and threats.
In a number of european countries, public service broadcasters have been subjected to extensive spending cuts. In Sweden there is an ongoing policy debate is whether to change the mission of public service.
Several of those have expressed that they wish to tighten the scrutiny of the media, which can be interpreted as a call for government control of the media.
to be independent and the freedom to be able to review and publish, in order to provide citizens with the information they have the right to be a part of it. With the proper information and work in the media as a democratic tool.
A hallmark of good journalism is that it is voluntary, allows itself to be reviewed and critiqued by an independent body. A hallmark of responsible journalism is that the individual is an integral part of the discussion, in the face of all publications that may cause harm to the omskrivne.
the Fake news, trollfabriker and politicized alternativjournalistik does not take any account of, and are not to be examined. At the same time as the accused in the serious media, in order to be politically controlled, and the pursuit of a hidden agenda. For them, the critics and the harder the control, which usually means an increase of government scrutiny. However, the government, and the political scrutiny of the media, as there is in the world is off-putting.
where a public authority. Perhaps, the same distortion effect on the new MO. However, the MO is just like that of the PO by an independent body, run by the media themselves. Both in the framework of which the funding is managed by the participating organizations and companies. The mission is självpåtaget. This means that the media will take the responsibility for this remains within the pale.
Since the end of the year tests the MO of all the publications in the newspapers, magazines, and journals, and all of the broadcasts of SVT, SR, UR and TV4. The review applies to a violation of the individual, as those in which a person’s private sphere. The commission, which is part of the press, radio and television, and will continue to hear complaints from the public on issues like the objectivity and impartiality of the judiciary, when it comes to terrestrial radio, and television.
Medieombudsmannens the mission also includes a significant part of the school of journalism, which is carried out on the internet. This applies, for example, the web sites and accounts in social media sites that are related to the members of the TU and the Swedish journals and magazines, as well as the approximately 50 of the dedicated newspapers that have signed up to the scheme. Also, the publications on the website of SVT, SR, UR and TV4 should be reported to the MO.
able to register it at the MO. After the investigation, the MO, recommend to the Media to regional committee to replace the defunct Press council, that the trap of the time of publication. The board is composed of representatives from the public and the media, and is managed by experienced professionals. When one sticks to the good journalistic practice to media to publish a statement of the board, without delay and without change.
the Experience of the PO time to the consideration of a deposit may be massive. The most high-profile in recent years, the more than 20 convictions which related to the disclosures in connection with a metoo. They were of the men that was accused of sexual harassment, rape, etc., and härskartekniker. The allegations had initially been put forward in the social media, which aroused a strong desire that the traditional media would have published the data. This was the case in a number of cases, which has led to complaints from the victims of the PO.
MO), as well as the previous PO’s are not up to the task, to ascertain whether the allegations of the information are not true, but only if they are given to the designated person cannot be justified publicitetsskada. In this work, several aspects must be considered: the gravity, the strength of the evidence, the media and the accused person’s role in society.
it may find itself in a more close scrutiny than a private citizen. But regardless of how this matter is the newspaper, the radio and the tv, throw out the charges. The data needs to be examined with the journalistic practices in order to ensure that there is a basis for the claims.
It was at that point, the papers failed when it came to the most moving metooartiklarna. The allegations were serious and the men are clearly identified, but the evidence was in many cases too weak. And the papers are folded.
the Convictions are mainly intended to provide redress for those who had been treated badly in the media, but they also have a normative effect. This has been the experience over the 50 years that the PO had. Perhaps the most striking difference relates to the exposure to risk of accidents, and the victims of crime. For more than fifty years ago, it was normal that the newspapers published the name of the one who was injured or died in a car accident, or a victim of violence. Today, it is extremely rare and requires that there are special circumstances justifying such release.
the so-called ”true crime”-pods, who devote themselves to be close to describe the criminal cases. Many of them have been criticized for not showing sufficient respect to the victims and to the relatives of the deceased. I welcome the fact that medieetiska to the discussion. It is my hope that this will lead to a more responsible attitude on the part of publishers, and connect to the new system. It comes to both the listeners and advertisers demand.
I am optimistic about the future of the legitimate media. The effektsökande klickjournalistiken seems to have been a period of time. Today, looking for readers, viewers and listeners for the powerful stories of the recess. This leads to an increased willingness to pay for media on the web.
The new, paying readers, listeners, and viewers are demanding high-quality journalism, editorship, and research. And it’s that the media is ethically responsible. With the introduction of the Medieombudsmannen, MO., have in the TU, the Swedish magazines, the publicist club, Federation of journalists (ifj), TV4, Swedish television SVT, SR and UR have made common cause to create a new, strong, medieetiskt of the system.
