“…En un tercer grupo se encuadran los estudios de comparación sistemática intercomunitaria como, por ejemplo, el referido al desarrollo de las plataformas online y redes sociales en lenguas minoritarias europeas (Ferré-Pavia, Zabaleta, Gutierrez, Fernandez-Astobiza, y Xamardo, 2018;Zabaleta et al, 2013); los roles y funciones de los periodistas (Zabaleta et al, 2010); y la estructura de los sistemas de los medios de comunicación (Zabaleta et al 2014;Zabaleta et al 2019).…”

This article investigates the monolingual media in three Celtic minority language communities of the United Kingdom and Ireland, at the end of the economic crisis that began in 2008, from the perspective of the public interest media model, prevalent in the media systems of European minority language media. The main areas of study are the economic volume, the funding system and the qualitative evaluation of editors and media directors regarding the effect of the economic crisis and the importance of public aid. The three minority Celtic languages analyzed are Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic. The methodological design is based on the techniques of systematic quantitative comparison between communities and a qualitative approach.

“…Den underlaeggende praemis for denne kritik er, at medierne spiller en vigtig rolle for bevarelsen og udviklingen af det grønlandske sprog. Dette er i tråd med forskning, der har vist, at medierne kan have en vigtig sprogbevarende funktion i små sprogområder (Pietikäinen 2008;Zabaleta et al 2010). I debatten om sprogkvaliteten i medierne forklarer mediecheferne det manglende sproglige niveau med mangel på ressourcer og et dårligt skolesystem, der ikke har styrket journalisternes sprog tilstraekkeligt (Duus 2012a(Duus , 2012bHansen 2017).…”

This article discusses the potential impact of Greenlandic independence on Greenland’s media system and suggests initiatives necessary for maintaining strong Greenlandic media in the future. Using Manuel Puppis' (2009) theory of the characteristics of small media systems, the Greenlandic media system is described. It is shown that it is built with the following aim in mind: the media should support the Greenlandic society by being independent and diverse, strengthening the Greenlandic language, and providing quality journalism that can heighten the public debate. However, as a small media system it is vulnerable to global tendencies where legacy media lose users and advertisers to digital platforms like Facebook and streaming services. The article argues that the vulnerability of the Greenlandic media system could increase if independence leads to a tighter public economy, impeding the media's ability to support Greenlandic society and culture. An interventionist media regulation could, therefore, be a prerequisite for a strong Greenlandic media system that can act as a unifying and nation-building institution.

“…With these words, a journalist at the Swedish department of Yle, the Finnish Broadcasting Company, describes their perception of Yle's role for the Swedish language in Finland (Stenberg-Sirén, 2018). The quotation reflects several aspects of the influence of minority language media (MLM) on language maintenance and minority language vitality discussed in the literature (Cormack, 2007;Zabaleta et al, 2010;Markelin, Husband & Moring, 2013;Jones & Uribe-Jongbloed, 2013). It implies that media provides the language community with sufficient words and concepts for describing and understanding current events in society, thereby enhancing the vitality of the language and enabling the language minority group's participation in the public sphere.…”

A global crisis, like the Covid-19 pandemic, can change not only societies but also languages by a great input of new terminology. For speakers of a minority language, media is in a key position to provide them with these new words in their own language. In the case of Finland-Swedish, the Swedish media in Finland is helped by professional language advisers in this language planning task. This study analyses the media language management in Finland-Swedish media, through a content analysis of language recommendations published between February 2020 and April 2021, as well as interviews with media language advisers. The analysis shows that about a quarter of the language recommendations published during these 15 months are coronavirus-related. The topics in the recommendations follow the development of the outbreak in Finland, showing how closely the language advisers work with the news organizations. Contrary to normal situations, the Finland-Swedish media language advisers could not fully rely on the language recommendations from Sweden, due to their different Covid-19 strategies. Instead, the norm authorities were experts in ministries and official institutions, illustrating how language planning is done collectively. The Finland-Swedish journalists rely heavily on the media language recommendations, showing a certain linguistic insecurity, which according to Muhr (2012) is typical for speakers of non-dominant varieties of a pluricentric language.
