The media landscape is changing. The daily papers are facing competition from new media and free newspapers that put fast news before analysis and reflection. The art field is also changing, on the global as well as local level. Every month another biennial opens somewhere in the world: Taipei, Sharjah, Porto Alegre. At the same time, new arenas for art are emerging in cities such as Göteborg, Malmö and Stockholm. How do the daily papers deal with this explosive development? What is the position of visual arts, art criticism and cultural debate in todays arts sections? Meet the Arts Editors in Chief of four of Swedens largest daily papers.
