Description
The Swedish journalist survey is conducted at the Dept of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at the University of Gothenburg. The questionnaire is submitted to 2 500 randomly selected journalists from all over Sweden.
The purpose of the study is to investigate how Swedish journalists perceive themselves and society, their professional role and work situation, the problems related to their code of professional ethics and the developments in the media sector.
Journalist´11 is JMG’s sixth survey. The first one was conducted in 1989. The results from the last survey, Journalist ´05, are present in the book 'Den svenska journalistkåren'.
The primary purpose of Journalist´11 is to follow up previous studies and provide a broad view of the changes that have taken place among the Swedish journalists during the last two decades. Many of the questions in the 2011 survey are therefore the same as previous years surveys.
The Swedish media system has changed dramatically since 1989. The state’s broadcast media monopoly has been abolished, commercial radio and TV, the Internet and a number of new

The primary purpose of Journalist´11 is to follow up previous studies and provide a broad view of the changes that have taken place among the Swedish journalists during the last two decades. Many of the questions in the 2011 survey are therefore the same as previous years surveys.
The Swedish media system has changed dramatically since 1989. The state’s broadcast media monopoly has been abolished, commercial radio and TV, the Internet and a number of new media have emerged, and the work methods have changed, largely as a result of new technologies becoming available.
The main purpose of the journalist surveys is to investigate in a broad perspective which changes Swedish journalists have gone through during this reformation of the Swedish media landscape. Many questions asked as part of the survey are therefore the exact same as those asked in the very first survey in 1989. The long duration of the study is unique, both nationally and internationally.
