  This article investigates the experiential affordances of watching online TV as outcomes of the material underpinnings of online TV and the actions taken by viewers. Potential experiential changes derive from how online TV services can be considered libraries of content affording self-scheduling action possibilities. Such changes need to be situated in the slow-to-change conditions of television viewing. We draw on a qualitative study of how viewers respond to the action possibilities and constraints of online TV services. We argue that potentials for individualized viewing are counterbalanced by television viewing as a social activity. Next, self-scheduling ties in with viewing as a deliberate action, appropriated to create experiences where attentiveness is tailored to what is narratively required. Finally, flow schedules are replaced with programed paths constraining the agency of viewers.

  This article explores the ‘youthification’ of television through real-time storytelling. It draws on a study of the online youth drama blank (2018–2019), NRK’s first follow-up after the hit show SKAM (2015–2017). It finds that real-time drama brings unique opportunities to broadcasters aiming to reconnect with younger audiences, but also substantial challenges. This insight is essential, as previous studies have highlighted the format’s advantages while downplaying its problems and dilemmas. Furthermore, the article emphasises the continuous need for innovation in youth storytelling, especially at public service broadcasters with the mandate and ability to do so.

  This article explores streaming across the cultural industries, drawing on 39 interviews with CEO/top-level industry executives working in the Norwegian music, film, television, and book industries. We examine two broad questions: What do key industry players see as the main opportunities and challenges of streaming? To what extent do industry players compare with and learn from other industries when making sense of, and seeking solutions to, the main challenges? Drawing on theories of media industry logics and industry lore, the article identifi es a collective understanding of turmoil and uncertainty. While informants across industries form similar notions about the impact of streaming and emphasise the need to learn from other industries, solutions to challenges are typically sought within industryspecific frames. Our findings suggest that even if streaming is a cross-industrial trend, strategies are based on industry-specific logics and notions.

  Several studies have addressed the international success of Danish television drama. Somewhat in the shadow of these success stories, we find Norwegian television drama, which has developed a different approach in which novel and digital distribution is a key component. In fact, two of the internationally best-known Norwegian television dramas, the NRK–Netflix production Lilyhammer (produced by Rubicon TV, 2012–2014) and the online teen drama SKAM (NRK, 2015–2017), share a novel approach to distribution for which they have become acknowledged as ‘digital flagship productions’, not only in Norway and Scandinavia, but also internationally. Based on industry reports, material from the trade press, and industry interviews, this chapter analyses Norwegian drama in the aftermath of the Danish success and the global lessons that can be taken from this.

  This article investigates the motives for entering a digital fan community and becoming a fan for the first time—and, subsequently, leaving it again—by focusing on these fans’ main entry and exit points. It looks at the fan community following the Norwegian hit show SKAM (2015–17), which grew over its four seasons into a global cult phenomenon with viewers and fans of all ages from around the world. Empirically, the article draws on forty-seven interviews with Scandinavian SKAM fans between the ages of thirteen and seventy. Based on these interviews, the article presents a tripartite model through which fan motivations are located in the intersections among intrapersonal, social, and transmedial factors.

  This article discusses the conditions for making policy change, and, more precisely, factors explaining why policy change is often hard to achieve even when key policy actors explicitly throw their weight behind it. It draws on a comparative analysis of two specific review processes in Britain and Norway, addressing the future remits of the public service broadcasters BBC and NRK. In both cases, the processes were initiated by governments explicitly stressing the need for radical change, but ambitions were not met although some changes took place. The article combines theories of advocacy coalitions and multiple streams to discuss how key stakeholders within the two processes operated to promote and inhibit change by defining–and re-defining–problems and solutions.

  This article investigates the conditions for making online youth fiction in a public service context at a time when young people increasingly are abandoning both legacy mass media and linear flow television to consume and share content online. The article’s starting point is the production of online youth fiction in two Nordic public service institutions, the Norwegian NRK and the Danish DR, and it discusses how digitisation and new competitors present both challenges and opportunities for institutions such as these. Furthermore, the article discusses the organisation of online youth fiction in both institutions and investigates how organisational strategies and production cultures come into play in each of these broadcasters’ early signature youth series: the widely popular online teen drama SKAM (NRK, 2015-2017) and the far less known youth series Anton 90 (DR, 2015). Our findings show that it was the pressure imposed by digitisation and new competitors that led these institutions to take new risks with their youth fiction production, changing their production patterns to make short-form drama series tailored to online streaming, and ultimately treating online youth fiction as a distinctly different task than “regular” fiction.

  This article considers fans’ playful digital practices and focuses on the play moods that are co-constructed in online fan communities. We analyse how these play moods are negotiated across the life course for participating fans. Play moods are closely tied to the playful modes of fan practices, and by gaining a greater understanding of the moods that fans engage in at different stages of their life course we gain new insights into fan play as it relates to issues of age-related norms in fan communities. Specifically, this article analyses the Norwegian teenage streaming drama SKAM (Shame) (NRK, 2015–17), which was produced for a target audience of 16-year-old Norwegian girls but ended up capturing the hearts of people of all ages across Scandinavia and internationally. This study is based on interviews with 43 Scandinavian fans aged between 13 and 70. The participants were all active on social media (Facebook, Instagram, the show’s blog, etc.) while the show was on the air and the interviews offers insights into issues of age-appropriateness as it relates to fan practices. As such, fans ‘police’ both themselves and each other based on perceptions of age, while also engaging in practices that are by nature playful and may be considered subjectively and culturally ‘youthful’ or ‘childish’. The article combines theory of play and fan studies with a focus on the life course and cultural gerontology in order to highlight these tendencies in the SKAM fandom.

  This article develops a theoretical perspective to study the conditions for media policy formation under the condition of digitalization – the Media Policy Field approach – building on an organizational field approach in combination with theories of policy development. The theory of strategic action fields offers a meso-level view of how actors in media fields interact and how their respective opportunities for influencing policy are structured by the state of the field and their respective positions. This theory is linked with the Multiple Streams Approach, which maintains that change occurs when policy entrepreneurs connect problem, policy and politics streams, and create policy windows. The Media Policy Field approach proposes three analytical foci for the study of current media policy processes: collective frames, incumbent and challenger roles and policy windows. Empirical strategies for pursuing this theoretical programme are discussed.

  This article addresses the production, distribution and global expansion of the online teen drama, SKAM/SHAME (2015–2017), produced by the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK. The article combines perspectives on transmedia storytelling with production studies and studies of public service broadcasting to investigate the distinct production, publishing and promotion models underpinning SKAM, as well as its public service mission. Furthermore, it addresses SKAM’s transition from a ‘secret’ online teen drama targeting young Norwegians in season one to a global cult phenomenon with viewers and fans in all age groups and on all continents in seasons three and four and relates this expansion to recent shifts within the television industry.

  This study analyzes how media industry players have influenced media political solutions to digitalization, using data from the daily press and policy documents in the period from 1998 to 2017 as sources. It concentrates on two specific areas of media policy: public service broadcasting (PSB) and press subsidies. Based on a media policy field approach, this study identifies key collective frames and the players that promote them, and shows how policy windows are created. The study finds that there is strong continuity in terms of the basic frames used to discuss media policy and in the actors involved in creating collective frames, which means that the incumbents maintain their positions. Converging frames that include several industry problems are activated to an increasing degree to initiate and influence media policy actions.

  This article investigates the historical development of one of the most successful television production companies in Norway, Rubicon TV, focusing on its changing leaders, their mission statements and programme portfolios. Based on primary historical documents, the article shows how the various CEOs of the company have consistently argued that television is not a ‘window to the world’, but a harmless medium for light, engaging entertainment. This understanding was originally a reaction to the perceived elitism and paternalism of public service television, allowing the company leaders moral leeway to produce provocative and innovative programmes that came to change the Norwegian television landscape.

  I SKAM-klippet «Tenker det du føler» sier Isak til Even at det er bare han som kan føle det han føler, før Even hvisker tilbake at slik som dette har han aldri følt før. Men tar han ikke feil? For er det ikke slik at også mange SKAM-seere har følt med Isak gjennom sesong 3? Kommentarfeltet som følger dette og andre SKAM-klipp vitner om mange seere med sterk emosjonell investering til seriens univers og karakterer. Men hva er det som gjør SKAM til en dramaserie så mange føler så sterkt rundt?

  The present article addresses ‘audience making’ in the age of media convergence, when television drama is increasingly produced for both a national and an international audience to be consumed in either linear 'flow’ or on-demand user modes. It asks about the ways in which key industry executives producing and commissioning television drama envision its audience, as well as the degree to which new production and distribution models impact industry notions of ‘the audience’. In order to address these questions, the article analyses the production and distribution of Lilyhammer, a successful television drama produced by the production company Rubicon TV for the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK, in collaboration with the American streaming service Netflix. The article argues that how the television industry wants to see its audience influences how it actually sees it, which, again, impacts both the production of television drama as well as the industry’s evaluation of ‘success’ for this genre.

  This book examines television drama in the age of streaming—a time when television has been reshaped for national and international consumption via both linear ‘flow’ and on-demand user modes. It builds on an in-depth study of the Norwegian public service broadcaster (NRK) and some of its game-changing drama productions (Lilyhammer, SKAM, blank). The book portrays the formative first decade of television streaming (2010-2019), how new streaming services and incumbent television providers intersect and act in a new drama landscape, and how streaming impacts existing television production cultures, publishing models and industry-audience relations. The analysis draws on insight gained through more than a hundred interviews with television experts and fans, hundreds of hours of observations, and unique access to industry conferences, meetings, working documents, and ratings. The book combines perspectives from production studies, media industry studies, and fan studies to inform its analysis.

  Exclusive release of research results at Aarhus Series Festival: Streaming is changing the media industries, forcing executives and decision-makers to rethink strategies and actions. A key concern has been how to attract young audiences and gain knowledge of their media habits. How do industry executives perceive young people and their streaming habits? Are young people still seen as leading the path or is “everyone” a streamer today? And, how are these industry perceptions of a young streaming audience translated into production strategies and practices? This talk presents the key lessons that industry executives and decision-makers have learned from the young streaming audience. It draws on nearly 40 in-depth qualitative interviews with leaders and executives from the Norwegian television, film, music, and book industries. The session presents, first, how leaders across sectors address the common “youth challenge”, and second, how leaders, especially in the television industry, respond to this challenge in terms of strategies and practices. The survey is conducted by the research group Streaming the cultural industries, STREAM, funded by the Norwegian Research Council.

  Online drama and real-time publishing have become an established ‘format’, especially in the Nordic countries. The ‘first wave’ was headed by the Norwegian hit show SKAM (NRK, 2015-2017), but the ‘second wave’ includes both several SKAM remakes as well as new successors in all the Nordic countries as well as beyond. In short, playing with time and platforms has become on key strategy for many storytellers trying to reintroduce a sense of liveness and realness. What can we learn from the ‘two waves’ of real-time storytelling? What are the pros and cons of this way of producing and publishing online drama? And, is it possible to renew this format when the rules in the TV market is constantly changing?

  For broadcasters aiming to re-connect with a younger audience, online drama published in real-time has become an attractive new ‘format’. The ‘first wave’of this format became internationally known through the hit show SKAM (NRK, 2015-2017), but the ‘second wave’includes both several SKAM remakes as well as new successors. What can we learn from the ‘two waves’of real-time storytelling? What are the prosand cons of this way of producing and publishing online drama? And, is it still possible to renew the format when the rules in the TV market is constantly changing? In this talk, I address how recent trends within the television industry change the production and publishing of youth television, and the particular role so-called real-time drama play in this context. More precisely, I discuss how real-time drama bring forwards many new opportunities for television players—allowing them to test new storytelling models and industry-audience relations—but also give rise to new challenges and dilemmas—including hard-to-handle third-party-partnerships and unintended fan activity. The presentation is based on my recent study of digital flagship productions within the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK, which incorporates 50 interviews with key executives, including many people working at SKAM and its main successor (blank, NRK, 2018-).

  This paper aims to develop a theoretical perspective fit to study the conditions for media policy formation in times of change, using an organizational field approach in combination with theories of policy development. The theory of Strategic Action Fields (SAF) offers a meso-level view of how organizations and actors in media fields interact, and how their respective opportunities for influencing policy are structured by the state of the field and their respective positions. This view of the organizational interaction is linked to the Multiple Streams Approach (MSA) to policy making, that maintains that change occurs when policy entrepreneurs are able to couple problem, policy and politics streams. Both approaches stress how certain cognitive models or frames, are crucial to social and political change and to the influence of different actors. The authors argue that this combined theoretical framework fills an analytical gap in the media policy literature by providing a systematic and holistic view of policy change through organizational interaction, with an explicit theory of power and strategic action.

  Alle de nordiske landene er i samme situasjon på filmfeltet – det letes etter nye forretningsmodeller som både kan sikre publikum et mangfoldig nordisk film- og serieinnhold av høy kvalitet, og som kan sørge for at midler går tilbake til nye produksjoner. De nordiske landene er hver for seg små markeder, og det er vanskelig å bygge forretningsmodeller som er regningssvarende for kun nasjonalt innhold. Hvordan kan vi løse slike utfordringer? Hva kan vi lære av hverandre i Norden? På hvilke områder kan det være fruktbart med et nordisk samarbeid? Hva gjør andre land i Europa for å løse utfordringene med tilgjengeliggjøring og medfinansiering?

  I løpet av tre sesonger har SKAM gått fra å være en ”hemmelig” nettdrama-serie spesifikt rettet mot norske 16-åringer til å bli et internasjonalt fenomen med seere i alle aldersgrupper og på alle kontinenter. Hvordan skjedde det? Ved å kombinere perspektiver fra produksjonsstudier og fanstudier, diskuteres sentrale produksjons-, publiserings- og promoteringsstrategier i SKAM og hvordan disse ikke bare skaper lojalitet og engasjement i målgruppa men også får betydning i videre utstrekning. Avslutningsvis kontekstualiseres SKAM som populær folkeopplysning.

  Har du endnu ikke set den norske tv-serie SKAM? Så er du en af de få. Nu får du muligheden for at komme lidt på forkant. Serien, der følger fem piger på et gymnasie i Oslo, bliver set af folk i alle aldre og roserne vælter ind fra kritikere. Nogle mener endda, at serien skal på skolepensum – ikke mindst på grund af den intelligente brug af sociale medier og tackling af tabuer. Men hvad er det, der gør de unge norske jenter værd at følge? Og er der noget specielt nordisk ved SKAM? Kom med på beatet, når podcastvært og kritiker ved Politiken Lucia Odoom viser klip fra serien og taler om baggrunden for seriens succes med Vilde Schanke Sundet, postdoktor i film- og fjernsynsvitenskap ved Lillehammer University College, samt Lynge Stegger Gemzøe, Ph.d.-studerende ved Medievidenskab, Aarhus Universitet.

  Flere hundre journalister har blitt arbeidsløse de to siste tiårene i Norge. Samtidig vokser antallet ansatte i bedrifter som produserer såkalt Content Marketing, eller innholdsbasert markedsføring, nesten like mye. Hvordan former denne prosessen fremtidens mediebilde?
