The analysis of the current situation of media market in the Nordic countries is considered only in the press in order not to go beyond the theory of classics. The article demonstrates the economic, technical and social factors that led to changes in the functioning of the North European Model of the media. The author determines the status quo of modern media system in the Nordic countries. The article concludes that although digitalization, globalization, commercialization and immigration processes have strongly influenced media development in the North Europe, the Democratic Corporatist Model of the media remains viable.
