Swedish media consumption record high in 2022

Preceded by two years of a pandemic, 2022 was influenced by war and economic crisis, and it also included an election in Sweden and several international sports championships. All this meant that the Swedish population’s media consumption stayed at record-high levels, not least when it came to the use of professional news media. This is shown by the Swedish Media Barometer 2022 from Nordicom at the University of Gothenburg.
