Fjölmiðlun og menning - 01.08.1999, Qupperneq 5
Formáli Rit þetta um tölur um fjölmiðla 0£ menningarmál er hið fyrsta sinnar tegundar sem Hagstofa Islands gefur út. Reyndar er þetta í fyrsta sinn sem ráðist er í útgáfu sérstaks rits sem hefur einvörðungu að geyma tölulegt efni um íslenska fjölmiðla og menningarmál. A undanfomum árum hefur Hagstofa íslands ekki farið varhluta af auknum áhuga innlendra sem erlendra aðila á tölulegum upplýsingum um þessa málaflokka. Kemur þar fjölmargt til, en trúlega vegur þar þyngst sú staðreynd að flölmiðlun og menningarstarfsemi hvers konar gegnir sífellt veigameira hlutverki í samfélagslegu og efnahagslegu tilliti. Astæða þess að Hagstofan ræðst í útgáfú þessa rits er því ekki síst sú að koma til móts við þá þörf sem augljóslega er á aðgengilegu talnaefni um fjölmiðla og menningarmál. Fram til þessa hefur birting tölulegra upplýsinga um þessi mál verið næsta takmörkuð og einskorðast við fáar yfirlitstöflur í öðru útgáfúefni Hagstofunnar, og/eða verið lítt aðgengilegt fyrir þorra fólks í skýrslum ijölþjóðlegra stofnana sem Hagstofan hefúr komið efni á framfæri við. Efni ritisins er af margvíslegum toga og spannar talnaeínið langt tímabil. Elstu tölur eru frá því um síðustu aldamót og þær yngstu frá því í ár. Gögn Hagstofunnar um fjölmiðla og menningu er uppistaða efnisins, en skipulögð söfnun talna- efnis á vegum Hagstofúnnar á þessu sviði nær allt aftur til þess tíma er ísland gerðist aðili að Menningar- og fræðslu- stofnun Sameinuðu þjóðanna, UNESCO, árið 1964. Aðdragandinn að þessari útgáfu er orðinn nokkur. Ragnar Karlsson hefur unnið við efnisöflun, úrvinnslu og samningu þessa rits ífá því það kom fyrst til umræðu innan veggja Hagstofúnnar fyrir um tveimur árum síðan. Verkið reyndist viðameira en svo það yrði hrist fr am úr erminni. Nauðsynlegt reyndist að leggjatalsverða vinnu í að endurmeta og samræma tiltæk gögn og afla nýrra þannig að framsetning þeirra væri í sem mestu samræmi við alþjóðlega staðla og venjur sem skapast hafa um birtingu talna í þeim málaflokkum sem hér um ræðir. A hinum ýmsu vinnslustigum þessa rits hefúr verið haft samband við fjölmarga aðila, innlenda og erlenda, sem góðfúslega hafa aðstoðað við öflun gagna og veitt góð ráð varðandi framsetningu efnis. Öllum þeim sem hlut eiga að máli eru færðar bestu þakkir fyrir aðstoðina. Ritið hefúr verið undirbúið að fúllu til útgáfú innan Hagstofunnar. Ragnar Karlsson sá um enska þýðingu töflu- og myndatexta ásamt Jónínu M. Guðnadóttur. Magnús S. Magnússon las ritið yfir í handriti með tilliti til efnis og ífamsetningar. Bemard J. Scudder þýddi enskan inngang. Sigurborg Steingrímsdóttir annaðist umbrot bókarinnar og frágang mynda. Hagstofú íslands í ágúst 1999 Hallgrímur Snorrason Preface This publication on media and cultural statistics is the first of its kind published by Statistics Iceland. As a matter of fact, this is the first time that any Icelandic publisher launches a special publication dedicated exclusively to statistical material on Icelandic media and culture. In recent years Statistics Iceland has not failed to observe the growing interest in statistical data on these subjects, among domestic as well as foreign bodies. There are a number of reasons forthis interest; the predominant one is presumably the fact that media and cultural activities of all kinds play an ever increasing role in sociefy and the economy. Consequently, the primary reason why Statistics Iceland decided to launch this publication was a desire to meet the obvious need for accessi- ble statistical data on media and culture. Until now published data on media and culture activities has been quite Iimited and confmed chiefly to a few summarized tables included in other material published by Statistics Iceland. What is more, this material has not been readily accessible to the general public, often enclosed in various reports of intemational agencies that Statistics Iceland has supplied with such data. The material for this book has been retrieved ffom a variety of sources and the statistical data covers a long period. Thus the oldest statistics date ífom the tum of the last century and the latest ones refer to the present year. The principal source is data on media and culture, which has been systematically collected at Statistics Iceland ever since Iceland became a member of UNESCO, in 1964. The preparation of this work has taken quite some time. Ragnar Karlsson has worked on the collection, processing and compilation of this publication since its creation was first envisaged at Statistics Iceland about two years ago. Completing the work tumed out to be too onerous a task to finish in a short period of time. The available data needed considerable revision and coordination, and new data had to be collected in order to make the presentation of the whole comply as far as possible with intemational standards and practices established in this field. At the various stages of producing this work, Statistics Iceland contacted a number of people and organizations, both Icelandic and foreign, and these have kindly assisted in collecting the data as well as offering good advice on the presentation of the material. This book has been completed for publication at Statistics Iceland. Ragnar Karlsson, to- gether with Jónina M. Guðnadóttir, was responsible for translation of the text in tables and figures. Magnús S. Magnússon read the manuscript in relation to its content and presentation. Bernard J. Scudder translated the introduction into English. The layout was in the hands of Sigurborg Steingrímsdóttir. Statistics Iceland, August 1999 Hallgrímur Snorrason
