New media support fulfills its purpose

English

The Media Authority states in a new report that the media support system for 2024 to 2026 achieves its goals.

The Media Authority has released a report showing that the new media support for 2024 to 2026 fulfills its purpose. The government tasked the authority last year with analyzing the effects of the support that replaced the earlier systems presstödet and mediestödet.

The aim is to strengthen democracy by promoting access to independent high-quality news. The report shows that the support is now more directed toward local and regional news distribution.

Expanded editorial support has led to more municipalities being covered by general news media. The support has also contributed to the digital transition.
