Result: ECMI Minorities Blog. How Public Service Media Enriches Learning For and About Sweden's National Minorities

The performance of public service media is typically assessed through journalistic products and activities such as news articles and reporting. However, it often goes unnoticed that a significant portion of public service media output consists of less time-sensitive materials which can be utilized as educational resources, comparable to textbooks and other pedagogical materials. One of the three Swedish public broadcasting companies, Educational Radio (UR) is a central producer of teaching and learning resources for the national minority languages: Finnish, Meänkieli, Romani chib, Sámi, and Yiddish. These public service media products also largely compensate for the lack of textbooks and other formal learning materials in these languages.
