摘要:At the time of writing in June 2015, the top Swedish tabloid editors, Thomas Mattssonand Jan Helin, Editors-in-Chief for the competing news organisations, Expressen andAftonbladet, have produced 116 weekly issues of their joint podcast “MattssonHelin”. Anexamination of 24 samples of the content regarding responses to media criticism showsthat the responses can be categorised in eleven groups that range from total rejection tototal acceptance. Our categorisation presents a complement to earlier research on mediaresponses to criticism. The responses contain elements of paradigm repair for journalism(Berkowitz 2000) but also illuminate how the editors use the particular advantages of thepodcast format to enhance their take on public media literacy. Their presence in this particulardigital platform allows for long and nuanced discussions on journalistic practice inrelation to media criticism, albeit on their own terms.
