Our Story
SR MDO, the Media Development Office of Swedish Radio was established in 1996 with the mission to design and implement development projects and collaborations all over the world.
We have since that time conducted collaborative development projects in the broadcasting sector in a dozen different countries.
Our fundamental idea is to bring all the knowledge and competence that exists within our large broadcasting organisation to use within our projects. Swedish Radio, SR, has more than 1 500 employees, ranging from reporters and journalists in all kinds of special fields, presenters, producers, technical experts, administrators, managers and others. So, even though we are an office with only a handful of employees, we have the entire pool of know how in all fields of broadcasting at our disposal.
We have a well-tested way of involving these resourceful people into our projects in order to achieve highly practical, on-site, hands-on training programmes, suited to the relevant needs of our partners.
We can also collaborate with our sister companies, Swedish Television (SVT) and UR, the Educational Radio and TV, in our projects. This expands our scope even further since it gives us competence in all types of broadcasting and digital media.
The Media Development Office can thus offer a wide spectrum of trainings, from management and organisational matters to hands-on editorial and technical skills under practical conditions.
