RESEARCH VISIT - Stockholms Universitet

In my PhD dissertation, I compare the Swedish and Spanish public policies for Digital Terrestrial Television. Consequently, in 2004 (august-december), I visited the Institutionen för Journalistik, Medier och Kommunication (JMK) at the University of Stockholm. Prof. Jan Ekecrantz and Dr. Ester Pollack supervised my work.

My main objectives were acquiring a better knowledge of the Swedish media market and analysing the public policies for digital television carried out in that country. With that purpose, I met and interviewed relevant professionals from the media as well as officials from several public institutions like the Digital Television Kommissionen and the Radio och Television Verket.

This research visit provided me with an in-depth view of the technological, political and economic details of the Swedish implementation plan for DTT. It also allowed me to learn about how public communication strategies can boost the migration of the audience.

At the end of my visit, Prof. Ekecrantz organised a seminar where I presented the results of my research: The Road to Digital Television in Sweden - State of the art and methodological tools for comparative/evaluating studies. (15/12/2004)

Besides my own research, I took part in several activities organised by the JMK. I contributed to the doctoral seminar "Comparative Television Studies", where I gave the lecture "Structure and programming tendencies in Spanish Television (2003/2004)".
