In Sweden, media in national minority languages do exist. Swedish Television and Swedish Radio, Sveriges Utbildningsradio AB (Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company), comprise the main core of Sweden’s public service, i.e. radio and television serving the general public. Sweden’s public service broadcasting encompasses certain commendable practices in terms of minority language media. These include extensive radio broadcasting in Sami and Finnish languages.[1] [1] Utbildningsradion, http://www.ur.se/Ung/Amnen/Sprak/Nationella-minoritetssprak/(Accessed 2012-03-10 ) |
