Environmental issues in Nordic media

A recent material turn in media studies gestures towards a new type of media studies, one that considers the role of the media industries as massive utilizers of natural resources. These considerations range from the labour that cultivates resources to regulation that is designed to make the communication industries sustainable. Nordic media production is especially at a critical conjuncture due to the sustainability commitments of the respective governments. Yet little real environmental action or functional, applicable policies exist to curb or even understand the industry's footprint.
