Christian Christensen @chrchristensen.bsky.social · 19hOnly major news outlet homepage in Sweden mentioning huge election today in #Brazil? Public service SVT. When done right, public service media inform & entertain. But they are also about an ethos: the idea that there can be media spaces where people are addressed as thinking citizens, not consumers. 1164
Christian Christensen @chrchristensen.bsky.social · 19hDet som journalistiken INTE rapporterar om säger också något. När stora delar av världen helt enkelt ignoreras, sänder det budskapet att människorna, politiken och länderna där inte är ”värda” att bevakas. När dessa delar av världen sedan blir betydelsefulla kan allmänhetens okunskap utnyttjas. 1249

Christian Christensen @chrchristensen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sweden still doesn't have new govt. After telling Speaker she could not form new govt, Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson has been told by Speaker to make new attempt. She has a week. Solution? Center Party must tolerate Left Party in govt, or Left must give up demand for ministerial posts. 080

Christian Christensen @chrchristensen.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Post-election Sweden a good example of how lazy "horse-race journalism" where "winning" the election is the central angle is utterly useless in covering multi-party democracies.

Which it could. 071
Christian Christensen @chrchristensen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In Sweden, the leader of the Social Democrats, Magdalena Andersson, has informed the Speaker that she has been unable to form a new Left-Green-Center govt.
