30.08.2024 - Sweden Sweden

The Government has today appointed Charlotte Ingvar-Nilsson, lawyer and former Director-General of the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation, to lead a one-year inquiry into the safe and accessible distribution of radio and television programmes in a new media landscape. The inquiry will have a particular focus on the needs of public service broadcasters. "In an uncertain world, the availability of information is more important than ever. That is why the Government is now commissioning Charlotte Ingvar-Nilsson to investigate the possibilities for media companies to maintain editorial control and distribute programmes safely and easily accessible in a new media landscape, even in times of turbulence," says Minister for Culture Parisa Liljestrand. The first part of the assignment is to map the distribution of radio and television, both in terrestrial networks and over the internet.
