The Internet and the ongoing digitization of media have transformed 
media landscapes and in turn the social functions of media and the 
structure of both governance and markets. In recent years, there has 
been widespread concern about the ability of the media to maintain and 
develop their role as a pillar of democracy.  Issues regarding freedom 
of expression, freedom of information and freedom of the press are more 
complex than ever.



The Nordic region – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – is 
among the most technology-intensive and “wired” regions in the world. 
These countries are similar in many respects, including their media 
systems. In the era of globalization, however, the Nordic countries are 
undergoing change on many fronts. From the point of view of welfare 
politics and democratic processes, these changes pose numerous challenges.



The theme of this volume – Freedom of Expression Revisited. Citizenship 
and journalism in the digital era – could be summarized as critical 
perspectives on experiences and conceptions of freedom of expression and 
the media in contemporary communication societies. The book reflects 
Nordic as well as global perspectives. The contributors are leading 
Nordic scholars, but also professionals outside the Nordic region, who 
have been engaged for years in research on freedom of expression from 
different angels.
