    Encouraging participation in an intra-organizational online idea community: A case study of a Swedish municipality2011In: First Monday, E-ISSN 1396-0466, Vol. 16, no 10Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Online communities have flourished in organizations in recent years, but large numbers of them fail. A deeper understanding of how participation can be promoted in online idea communities (OIC) is essential, because the most common reason of failure is low levels of participation. In this paper, we investigated how participation could be encouraged in an intra–organizational OIC. Our case organization was Sollentuna municipality in Sweden. They decided to introduce an OIC to collect ideas from staff as input when developing the municipality’s forthcoming IT strategy. We used the theory of online identity–based communities (Ren, et al., 2007) as a lens and a mixed research method comprising interviews and an analysis of the content of the OIC. While this theoretical perspective certainly has merits on its own, the study topic at hand made it necessary to complement the theory with more specific design principles that take the unique characteristics of intra–organiztional OIC into account. These included that managers were expected by staff to be core members of the community, frequent and complementing promotion activities were necessary in order for the OIC to be used, very low entry barriers were expected, and the employees expected the discussion to be focused, both in terms of content and time. The design principles need to be tested and further developed, by conducting studies on other OIC.

    Blogging.se: a study of the swedish blogosphere from a Habermasian perspective2007Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper (written in swedish) presents a quantitative study on the Swedish blogosphere based on 733 randomly selected blogs. The aim of the study was to determine whether or not blogging could be seen as rejuvenating for the “public sphere”, as described by Jürgen Habermas. The main results of the study was that even though most blogs write about ‘private’ subjects, the most popular blogs, i.e. those who received the most comments or trackbacks, where the ones concerning society-centered subjects. Also, a significant effect of gender was discovered regarding what type of subject one tends to blog about. Women in general wrote about private matters, whereas men tended to write about society-centered subjects. This essay argues that the most important feature of the blogosphere is not that posts are written on society-centered subjects, subjects that might be considered “more important” from a Habermasian point of view. Instead, the paper argues, the focus should be on the fact that bloggers do produce media texts themselves, instead of being passive recipients. The essay takes into account three key features of the public sphere, as described by Habermas: inclusivity, the disregard of social status and that any issue can be raised for rational debate. It is found that although the blogosphere is not without its problems, one could very well argue that it better meets these key features than the original concept of the public sphere.

    Doing Things in Relation to Machines: Studies on Online Interactivity2012Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The Internet is often discussed in conjunction with various notions of interactivity. Recently, conceptualizations of a “Web 2.0″, mainly focusing on harnessing user-generated content, have grown increasingly common in both public discourse and among researchers interested in the continued growth and transformation of the Internet.

    This thesis approaches the use and non-use of online interactive features by societal institutions. Specifically, the thesis focuses on online newspapers and online political actors, studying the practitioners working within those institutions and on their respective audiences. Consisting of four empirical studies, the thesis is informed theoretically by the application of conceptual tools pertaining to structuration theory. In Anthony Giddens’ original conception, structuration theory posits that social structure is recursively shaped (and possibly altered) as human agents choose to re-enact certain modalities of specific structures. By changing their uses of the rules and resources made available to them by structure, humans are given agency in relation to overarching, macro-level structures. Giddens’ writings have also been contextualized to the study of information technology use by Wanda Orlikowski, who has mostly focused on organizational research.

    Combining insights from Giddens and Orlikowski, the thesis suggests that most Internet users are enacting a “structure of audiencehood”, entailing somewhat traditional consumer behavior, rather than a “structure of prosumerism”, which would entail extensive uses of the interactive features made available online. Similar traditional use patterns are discerned for practitioners. The thesis suggests that we should not be surprised at relatively low levels of use of interactive features by practitioners and audiences in these contexts. While the chosen areas of study are often surrounded by expectations and “hype” regarding the consequences of online interactivity, institutionalized news and politics can be said to represent stable structures – structures that have functioned in similar ways for extended periods of time, and, thus, are not so easily amended.

    Abstract [en]

    This article examines what kind of interactive features are available on the websites of Swedish newspapers, and what factors seem to influence the utilization of those features. Using Chung’s typology of interactive features, we can discern four types: human (features that facilitate interpersonal communication), human–medium (allowing users to express their personal opinions), medium (allowing users choice options in experiencing news stories) and medium–human (allowing users to customize news to their liking) interactive features. Factors believed to have influence over interactive features are tested using statistical analysis. Even though different factors tend to influence different types of interactivity, results indicate that the most interactive newspaper websites belong to large, national newspapers with younger web staff.

    Research has indicated that although online interactive features are not used by the visitors of different websites, such features might be appreciated by the visitors. This article examines the use and appreciation of interactive features by visitors on Swedish newspaper websites. Utilizing an online survey focusing on different traits and habits of newspaper website visitors, the study presents a typology of visitor types, characterized by the different ways they use and appreciate interactive features in the online news media context. Although certain types make extensive use of interactivity, the overall results of the survey points towards rather low levels of both use and appreciation. As such, newspaper website visitors might be characterized as ‘slow learners’, taking their time to adapt to the interactive capabilities offered by the online news media.

    Abstract [en]

    Although many of the initial hopes regarding the Internets effect on political engagement and participation has largely gone unfulfilled, it is generally held that the Internet still has a substantial role to play during political election campaigns. Several studies have focused on how the Internet medium is employed for such purposes during the actual election campaign, but rather few (if any) studies have adopted a broader temporal scope, studying the Web sites of political parties before, during and after the election period. This paper fills this apparent research gap by presenting such a longitudinal analysis of the Web sites of Swedish political parties during the election year of 2010. Starting in January of 2010, these Web pages were downloaded on a monthly basis, lasting until the end of the year. By studying the Web sites of political parties before, during and after an election campaign, this project will provide scholars as well practitioners with unique insights into how Web campaigning rationale seems to develop.

    2012 (English)In: New Media and Society, ISSN 1461-4448, E-ISSN 1461-7315, Vol. 14, no 5, p. 729-747Article in journal (Refereed) Published
    Abstract [en]

    Among the many so-called microblogging services that allow their users to describe their current status in short posts, Twitter is probably among the most popular and well known. Since its launch in 2006, Twitter use has evolved and is increasingly used in a variety of contexts. This article utilizes emerging online tools and presents a rationale for data collection and analysis of Twitter users. The suggested approach is exemplified with a case study: Twitter use during the 2010 Swedish election. Although many of the initial hopes for e-democracy appear to have gone largely unfulfilled, the successful employment of the internet during the 2008 US presidential campaign has again raised voices claiming that the internet, and particularly social media applications like Twitter, provides interesting opportunities for online campaigning and deliberation. Besides providing an overarching analysis of how Twitter use was fashioned during the 2010 Swedish election campaign, this study identifies different user types based on how high-end users utilized the Twitter service. By suggesting a novel approach to the study of microblogging and by identifying user types, this study contributes to the burgeoning field of microblog research and gives specific insights into the practice of civic microblogging.

    Abstract [en]

    Previous research has indicated that although online interactive features are not used by the visitors of different web sites, such features can be appreciated by the same visitors. This paper examines the use and appreciation of interactive features by visitors on Swedish newspaper web sites. By means of an online survey (1343 respondents) focusing on different traits and habits of the online news media audience, the study presents a typology of newspaper web site visitor personas, characterized by the different ways they use and appreciate interactive features in the online news media context. Although certain personas tend to make extensive use of the features studied, the overall results of the survey points towards rather low levels of both use and appreciation. As such, newspaper web site visitors might be characterized as “slow learners”, taking their time to adapt to the interactive capabilities offered by the online news media.

    Interactivity on newspaper web sites: the case of Sweden2009Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The introduction of the internet medium has potentially changed the concept of journalism from a one-way to a two- or multi-way communication process (Chung, 2007, 2008; Hujanen & Pietikainen, 2004; Morris, 1996), but to what extent and in what ways are the users of the various newspapers web sites allowed to contribute to the contents? The present paper will use quantitative content analysis to study the websites of Swedish local and national newspapers, focusing on how these sites utilize what is perhaps the foremost defining character of the internet medium: interactivity (Downes & McMillan, 2000; Gillmor, 2004; Kiousis, 2002). Rather few European studies have been conducted analyzing these matters (f.e. Schultz, 1999; Thurman, 2008). Sweden is especially interesting to study, since both newspaper readership and internet penetration are frequently measured at very high levels (Carlsson & Facht, 2007; Hadenius, Weibull, & Wadbring, 2008; Hallin & Mancini, 2004). The present study defines interactivity as a three-fold construct, specifically:

    Communicative interactivity: The perspective of communicative interactivity is inspired by the sociological definition of the term (as described by Jensen, 1998) and looks at features that enable synchronous communication (interaction) between vistors and/or staff of the newspaper web site. Common features include chat rooms, discussion boards and e-mail-links (Domingo, 2008; McMillan, 2002; Schultz, 1999). Content interactivity: This view focuses on how the user is allowed to interact with and use (and re-use) the content available on the site. The focus on user control over the communicative environment is important here (Jensen, 1998, p. 201; McMillan, 2002, p. 175; Steuer, 1992). Common features include changeable language and font size, search functions, polls, graphs that allow for interplay, RSS-feeds and mobile sites. Contributive interactivity: Rather than focusing on how users interact and adapt content already on the sites (as with content interactivity), contributive interactivity places at its core the ways in which users are allowed to contribute themselves by uploading and annotating their own content (Bowman & Willis, 2003; Lombard & Snyder-Duch, 2001), or “engaging users as content co-producers” as Bozckowski (2002, p. 278) puts it. Common features include photo uploading, the engagement of “citizen journalists” and reader blogs.

    An index of interactivity will be created using operationalizations of these different aspects of interactivity. Trying to move beyond the “mere counting” of different interactive features available on newspaper web sites (as suggested by Boczkowski, 2002, p. 277), this study will attempt to analyze what institutional and other factors seem to influence interactivity. Inspired by

    the results of earlier studies regarding factors influencing the content of newspapers both online and offline (see f.e. Arant & Anderson, 2001; Chan-Olmsted & Park, 2000; Nerone & Barnhurst, 2001; Zeng & Li, 2006), this paper will use statistical methods to analyze how some chief characteristics of media organizations might bring about more and more different types of interactivity in swedish online newspapers. The characteristics to be analyzed are: newspaper size, media ownership, region and competition within region, length of web presence, strength of staff and use of multimedia.

    ‘Rejected bits of program code’: Why notions of “politics 2.0” remain (mostly) unfulfilled2013In: Journal of Information Technology & Politics, ISSN 1933-1681, E-ISSN 1933-169X, Vol. 10, no 1, p. 72-85Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Recent conceptualizations of a “Web 2.0” focusing on enabling user-generated contenthas grown increasingly common in public discourse and among researchers. While hopes have generallybeen high regarding political use of online interactivity, most research projects on the topic haveproduced results contrary to these hopes. Most citizens seem to be content with staying consumers,not assuming more active roles. Similarly, most political actors have assumed a somewhat conservativestance to the Internet medium. This article presents a review of research done regarding online politicalcommunication and provides further theoretical insights into these patterns of “non-use” by employingstructuration theory as developed by Anthony Giddens and Wanda J. Orlikowski.

    Staying in or Going out?: Assessing the linking practices of Swedish online newspapers2013In: Journalism Practice, ISSN 1751-2786, E-ISSN 1751-2794, Vol. 7, no 6, p. 738-754Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    As journalism has moved from offline to online, a multitude of studies have gauged how media practitioners have employed the features made available by the internet. One such area of study has been the uses of hyperlinks. This study attempts to move beyond the technological or descriptive accounts often found when dealing with how journalists use links, by presenting an analysis of what aspects pertaining to newspaper website operation appear to have influence over journalistic use of different types of hyperlinks. The focus is placed on Sweden, a country which could be seen as a “hotbed” for innovative practices, given its consistently high scores for newspaper readership and internet use. Specifically, statistical analyses are employed on 3869 links gathered from Swedish online newspapers across a six-month period. Results indicate that while few external links are used, reaching outside the online realm of the specific newspaper, these particular links are almost exclusively found embedded in the journalistic text. Links leading to internal sources are more abundant, especially in the automatically generated thematically based sidebars often found in conjunction with online news items. Results also indicate slight differences regarding linking practices between tabloids and broadsheets, and between news of different origin. In closing, the paper suggests that while linking practices have certainly evolved during the short history of online journalism, we are mostly seeing what could be labeled an automated approach to employing hyperlinks.

    Twitter use during the 2010 Swedish election – and beyond2011Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Since its launch in 2006, Twitter use has evolved and is increasingly used in a variety of contexts. One such context is online politics or e-democracy. Although many of the initial hopes for e-democracy appear to have gone largely unfulfilled, the successful employment of the Internet during the 2008 US presidential campaign has again raised voices claiming that the Internet, and particularly social media applications like Twitter, provides interesting opportunities for online campaigning and deliberation. My presentation will focus on an ongoing comparative study involving researchers in the Scandinavian countries, dealing with how political use of Twitter is fashioned in the three countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Specifically, I will present findings pertaining to Twitter use during the 2010 Swedish election. I would also like to discuss some of the ethical challenges that we have come across during this work.

    Abstract [en]

    While some online newspapers have embellished their online presence with a variety of interactive features, most online newspapers still appear to take on the role of cautious traditionalists, adopting a mostly conservative stance toward the new medium. Correspondingly, most audience members appear to act in a similar way. This article shows how concepts related to structuration theory can be utilized to further our theoretical understanding of the use (and nonuse) of interactive features in the online newspaper context. It employs concepts from the structuration theory to provide another interpretation of the existing empirical research. The paper concludes by suggesting that "nonuse" in this regard can be understood as part of reproducing what might be called a "structure of audiencehood" rather than a "structure of prosumerism."
