/Public Service Media in the Nordic Countries/ offers a wealth of 
information on the Nordic media landscape, with special focus on public 
service media. The five countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway 
and Sweden – have similar media systems and a long tradition of public 
service broadcasting, including strong support for it and public service 
models that have developed characterized by the fact that the countries 
are small and have relatively small populations. This publication marks 
the start of Nordicom’s project, /Nordic Public Service Media Map/, 
which is a part of the globalisation strategy of the Nordic Council of 
Ministers, and the statistics presented here provide a framework for the 
series’ forthcoming publications, which will look more into the Nordic 
public service model.

The aim of this volume is to provide an objective and detailed 
description of the media landscape in each country as well as a coherent 
overview of the Nordic region. Facts and figures cover the Nordic media 
market, financing, television, radio and Internet, with time series.
