Competition, Collaboration and Cooperation: Swedish Provincial Newspaper Markets In Transition

Pages 43-63 | Published online: 16 Mar 2015
 

Abstract

A wave of mergers has reshaped the Swedish newspaper market over the past decade. Competition has been gradually replaced with collaboration, block-building and alliances. In 11 out of 15 cities with more than one daily newspaper, a single owner controls the entire market. Based a mail survey and a short case study, this paper asks how newspapers on these markets balance professional areas of competition and collaboration, without compromising strategic differentiation, customer confidence and journalistic independence.
