“…A related but more specialized research field on the media's role in the public sector argues that the adaptation to and internalization of media preferences and working routines in public sector organisations is not only a consequence of the general process of mediatisation (Pollitt & Bouckaert 2011;Schillemans 2012;Thorbjornsrud, Figenschou, & Ihlen 2014), but also an expression of NPM-oriented processes such as managerialism, marketization, economization and rationalization (Fredriksson et al 2015;Schillemans & Pierre 2016). A core argument here is that the internalization of media-oriented practices and preferences cannot be seen as separate from changes in the political and economic pressures that reshape -both in detail and generally -the working conditions, organisation and governance of the public sector.…”

What is the role of media(tisation) in organisation and provision of elderly care? By looking at how planning, organising and execution of elderly care is understood in two Swedish municipalities this paper seeks to contribute to discussions of the ways in which values, preferences and working practices of news media play out in shaping conditions for provision of municipal welfare services. Our findings suggest that we can see the role of media values and preferences as embedded – although in different ways and to varying extent – in three distinct but inter-related processes that influence how actors connected to organisation and provision of municipal welfare services understand and relate to each other. These are: 1) setting the aims, aspirations and priorities in the provision of welfare services (i.e., the what); 2) translating these aims, aspirations and priorities into necessary means, resources and activities (i.e., the how); and 3) explaining and justifying the what and the how to different constituencies (i.e., the why). The paper concludes that commonly held values and beliefs about media reinforce the ongoing changes in the governing regime of elderly care in a direction where the role of municipal administrative bodies is more explicitly articulated, especially in terms of accountability and responsibility.

“…Second, the article is related to recent scholarship examining the mediatization of bureaucracies (Fredriksson, Schillemans, & Pallas, 2015;Schillemans, 2012;Thorbjørnsrud, 2015), including a special issue of this journal (Schillemans & Pierre, 2016). Albeit the lack of scholarly agreement on the definition of mediatization (Strömbäck & Esser, 2014), on an organizational level it generally refers to organizations adapting in the sense of adjusting and modifying their decisions, behavior, organizations and communication according to media's logic (Strömbäck & Esser, 2014;Schillemans 2016).…”

This article seeks to explain the frequency and tone of media attention for public organisations. Expectations are formulated on the impact of fundamental organisational features on the frequency and tone of coverage of public organisations. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used to analyse the nuanced interplay between legal independence, primary task and organisational size. The results show that this configurational approach is necessary to understand which public organisations appear in the media and how. Legal independence, task and size do not operate independently, but combine in explaining the media attention for public organisations.
