The Swedish media has faced criticism for being overly fascinated with US news and politics to the detriment of coverage from other parts of the world. Our diplomatic readers have also reported to Mundus International that they find media’s reporting of their countries to be biased towards negative stories, and while facts may be correct, the context is often not.
In an article in the February edition of the Monthly Policy Review, Mundus examined the current state of Swedish media, why the U.S. plays such an outsized role in foreign news coverage and what can be done to try to nudge news outlets to look elsewhere for stories.
Following up on that article, the CEO of Mundus International, Jessica Nilsson Williams, and the company’s Commercial Director, Sean Williams, talked about coverage of foreign news in Swedish media with Jonas Nordling on Journalistpodden.
