“…In these popular semiotic practices, the roles of producer and consumer are at times destabilised and blended as more people gain access to means of production on the Web for dissemination in particular cultural niches. Examples of such are seen in the creation of Web pages on a myriad variety of shared interests, from file swapping to the creation of fan arts and fiction; multiparty blogs as informal journalism or public discussion forums; personal blogs or journals to chronicle and design particular representations of self and promote social networking online; and video games that provide opportunities for role-playing, problem-solving, teamwork, and creating alternative "worlds" and storylines (Fox, 2002;Gee, 2003;GodwinJones, 2005).…”

“…In other words, it is possible to state that Finland-Swedish music media has gone through what many music industry scholars and business futurists have described as the 'digital turn' of music media. According to the more optimistic analyses, the new, lower cost structures created by digitalization should lead to increased financial opportunities and a greater creative freedom for even the smallest cultures and population groups (Anderson 2006;Fox 2005;Frost 2007;Lessig 2008). This also includes new forms of participatory culture (Jenkins 2006), convergence (Jenkins 2008) and parody (Boxman-Shabtai 2019).…”

This paper investigates how digitalization has affected the role that Finland’s Public Service Broadcasting Company (YLE) plays for the popular music culture of the Swedish-speaking minority of Finland. Drawing on theories from popular music and cultural industry studies, the study explores to what extent new technology has changed practices, structures and perspectives of minority artists. The paper, which forms a sub-study of a larger research project on the impact of digitalization on minority music, focuses on two case studies, the comic duo Pleppo and comedian/artist Alfred Backa. The analysis illustrates how important the public service broadcasting company still is for minority culture despite the structural changes caused by digitalization. However, the radio’s quality norms have led to a paradoxical situation where the digital productions of the musicians need to compete with the technical standards of the international entertainment industry, whereas the channels’ own productions can follow DIY norms. As the broadcasting company is increasingly moving its focus towards the web, it must in the future achieve a balance between the different dynamics of commercial interests, controversial creativity and traditional public broadcasting objectives.

“…Empresas como Deezer y Spotify surgieron gracias al desarrollo de las aplicaciones móviles que florecieron desde la segunda década del nuevo milenio (IFPI, 2010, p. 5). De igual forma, el streaming se vio favorecido por el auge de la banda ancha en los teléfonos móviles (Bautista, Chekunova, Orellana, 2013, p. 174;Fox, 2005), la oferta de planes premium para oír los grandes catálogos fonográficos en modo offline en el celular (Portal, Sánchez Barranquero, Torres García, 2013, p. 192) y la integración de páginas web musicales (como Songkick, sitio online de conciertos) a los servicios en la nube (IFPI, 2013, p. 15).…”
