This is a comprehensive study on the history, politics and aesthetics of television in Scandinavian countries. The book makes it possible to see resemblances and differences in Scandinavian media culture, and to see national television history in a broader, international perspective. For each of the major Scandinavian countries, the national historical development of television is described and the latest tendencies highlighted. This is set in the context of the broader historical, social and cultural background of these countries. Much of the modern media history has to be understood in a global perspective as well. Traditional Scandinavian culture has now developed a much stronger European dimension, and the role of national regulation and support has been expanded in line with certain elements of a common European media strategy and policy - although this is still very much in the making.
