The article examines how the structural conditions (ownership, management, financing, and accountability) of public service media (PSM) functioning established by public policy decisions align with citizens’ attitudes. The empirical research employs the case of Lithuanian PSM because of relatively favorable conditions created for developing the PSM as a project of democracy and civil society. A document analysis was performed, and a representative survey of the Lithuanian population was conducted in response to the research questions. The analysis concludes that the intentions of public policy and civil society are quite different concerning the operating conditions of PSM. The citizens would like to have more say in the management of the PSM and to see the PSM much more accountable to society.

This article investigates media as ‘borderscapers’ that discursively shape state borders by representing human interactions with and at the borders and generating ‘borderscapes’ that imbue borders with social and political meaning. Empirically, the article focuses on a two-pronged border emergency in Poland, involving non-European irregularised migrants stranded at the frontier with Belarus and the arrival of millions of war refugees from Ukraine. It applies Foucauldian discourse analysis to the coverage by the pro-government wPolityce.pl and the watchdog OKO.press. The study uncovers four borderscapes: (1) the Polish–Belarusian ‘borderscape of invisibility’ (wPolityce.pl); (2) the Polish–Belarusian ‘borderscape of rejection’ (OKO.press); (3) the Polish–Ukrainian ‘borderscape without borders’ (wPolityce.pl); and (4) the Polish–Ukrainian ‘borderscape of assimilation’ (OKO.press). The article argues that these borderscapes are contingent on (1) who is seen to interact with a given border and how and why, and (2) each outlet's referential relation towards the state politics of belonging.

Professional economists wield considerable power as experts and policymakers. Consequently, economists frequently appear in the media, where they comment on current economic issues and assess economic policy options. Despite the status of economists, little is known about the relationship between economists and the media and how economists use the media to promote economic and political interests. Building on the scholarship on the mediatization of expertise, this article analyzes the mediatization of the economist profession. The article draws on 17 semi-structured interviews with Finnish economists who appear frequently in the news media. The findings reveal how institutions from private banks to research institutes use economists to advance their economic and political interests via the media. It is found that using social media and serving journalists are elemental parts of an economist's job description. Furthermore, economists work closely with communications professionals to advance organizational interests. This article argues that further research should analyze how mediatization intertwines with the work of economic experts.

Building on an interview study from Sweden (n = 80), this article develops the concept of media resentment as a tool for understanding contemporary developments such as the diminished trust in news media and journalism. We view media resentment as a complex of feelings and ideas that are both individual and social, embodied, and ideal. Media resentment is defined as the feeling that the media – intentionally or unintentionally – are denying you or endangering what you have rightfully earned, whether by not giving it to you, by directly telling you to abstain from it or by intervening in social processes so that your enjoyment of what you have earned becomes impossible.
