This thesis deals with the subject of correspondence between the media and the public agenda. It is based on previous studies , where the relationship between the media and the public agenda confirmed sociologist McCombs (Dearing a Rogers 1996: 6). On the sources it is trying to establish a linkage on the specific topic of the church restitutions , which discusses in particular the development and opinions both in the media and in the public agenda.

Studiens syfte är bidra med kunskap om likheter och skillnader mellan diskurser kring flyktingfrågan i traditionella medier och på Twitter genom att undersöka språkanvändningen samt explicita teman utifrån diskurser i tidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet samt i tweets på Twitter. Studien vill att få kännedom om och hur de traditionella mediernas diskurser samverkar med diskurser på Twitter. För att uppnå syftet med studien bryts syftet ned i fyra frågeställningar: vilka retoriska stilfigurer används i Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet och på  Twitter utifrån den valda problematiken? Vilka manifesta och latenta budskap går att urskilja med hjälp av språket i Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet och på Twitter?  Vilka negativa respektive positiva värdeladdade ord förekommer i Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet och på Twitter? Hur kan den visade språkanvändningen diskuteras utifrån diskursteori och dagordningsteori? Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgår från diskursteori och dagordningsteori samt kopplas samman med tidigare forskning i analysen. Studiens resultat visar att gestaltningen av flyktingfrågan manifesteras på olika vis genom språkanvändningen, till exempel i användningen av retoriska stilfigurer och värdeladdade ord. Twitters språkanvändning är mer dramatisk och kritik uttrycks mer explicit i jämförelse med språkanvändningen i Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet. Studien visar dock en möjlig samverkan mellan de båda medierna, då liknande teman hittades i respektive medier. Det var svårare att urskilja manifesta och latenta budskap i diskurserna på Twitter i jämförelse med diskurserna i Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet. De båda medierna subjektställer de svenska aktörerna medan flyktingar återfinns som objekt eller inte alls förekommer. Resultatet visar att det i den aktuella studien, finns en samverkan mellan dagspress och social medier. Dagspressens ämnen återfinns i diskurserna på Twitter, där Twitteranvändare tycker något om ämnet dagspressen tar upp. / The purpose of this study is to contribute to knowledge about similarities and differences between discourses in traditional- and social media concerning the refugee issue. Furthermore the purpose will be answered by exploring and compare the use of language and explicit themes in the discourses, in two of Swedens largest newspapers: Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet, aswell as selected top-tweets on Twitter. The intention of the study is to receive understanding if and how the discourses in traditional media are reciprocating with the discourses on Twitter. To fufill the purpose of this study, four framing questions will be answered: which rhetorical stylistic figures are used in Dagens Nyheter, Svenska dagbladet and on Twitter? Which explicit and implicit messages can be discovered with help from the used language in the discourses in Dagens nyheter, Svenska dagbladet and Twitter? What negative respectively positive emotive words occurs in the newspapers and on Twitter? How can the result of the used language be discussed by Discourse theory and The agenda setting theory? The study’s theoretical framework are The agenda setting theory and Discourses theory, the theories will be connected to previous research about representation in the media in the section of analysis. The study’s result shows that the figuration of the refugee issue are displayed in different ways through the use of language, for example in the use of rhetorical stylistic figures and emotionally charged words. The used language on Twitter contains more explicit negative and dramatically charged words compared to discourses in Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. However the study indicated a cooperation between the traditional- and social media, due to similar themes that were discovered. Nevertheless, it was more difficult to distinguish the explicit and implicit messages in the discourses on Twitter compared to Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. The subjects in the newspapers where rediscovered on Twitter, where users consider something about the subject which shows some tendencies of collaboration between the newspapers and social media.

The 15th of March 2019, the city of Christchurch in New Zealand was exposed to two mosque attacks that left at least 50 people killed and many people wounded. The attacks were described as a terrorist attack performed by a 28-year-old Australian man with right-wing extremist views. The two mosque attacks were broadcast live by the perpetrator on his social media accounts. By using a qualitative text analysis, the author has studied the reports of the attacks of three news channels, CNN, RT English and al- Jazeera English, with a selection of nine articles. The study has investigated the description and the framing of the mosque attacks by each news channel. With the aid of a framing analysis, the author was able to identify which frames that has occurred in the reports by CNN, RT English and al-Jazeera English. The aim of the study was to study the framing of the mosque attacks by the news channels with different culture valuations and whether there were any similarities or differences in their descriptions of the attacks. The result of the analysis could show that there were both similarities and differences in the reports of the news channels. CNN and al-Jazeera English used the affective and attributive framework and RT English used the descriptive framework in their reports of the mosque attacks.

Paulo and O Globo instrumentalized the news about the 2014 World Cup in Brazil to defend political and economic interests. The study assumes that journalism has the ability to schedule issues in the society and form public opinion. The hypothesis is that these newspapers associated their publications with the electoral interests of certain politicians. The methodology includes bibliographical research and analysis of the journalistic content referring to the headlines on the front page of the two newspapers between May and July 2014. The research is guided by the Agenda-Setting Theory, McCombs (2009) and concepts of social actors and formation of public opinion in Habermas (2012a; 2012b). Among the results, there were 427 headlines in Folha de S. Paulo and 534 in O Globo, which scheduled, almost daily, the World Cup through news, editorials, reports, columns, articles and notes. In this way, the journalistic coverage could be organized by categories: championship, organization, political issues, protests and expenses with the event, besides having been mapped the presence of political actors. Thus, the issues regarding the World Cup with a focus on politics were analyzed from the perspective of Habermas, in which Folha de S. Paulo and O Globo maintained narratives with an interest coining a negative image of president Dilma Rousseff. Also the political actors listed in the narratives expressed private, political, economic and electoral interests around the World Cup / A dissertação investiga se os jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Globo instrumentalizaram as notícias sobre a Copa do Mundo de 2014 no Brasil, para a defesa de interesses políticos e econômicos. O estudo parte do pressuposto de que o Jornalismo possui a capacidade de agendar temas na sociedade e formar a opinião pública. A hipótese é que os jornais associaram suas publicações aos interesses eleitorais de determinados agentes políticos. O percurso metodológico inclui pesquisa bibliográfica e análise do conteúdo jornalístico referente às chamadas de capas dos dois jornais entre os meses de maio e julho de 2014. Para fundamentação teórica, a pesquisa é guiada pela Teoria do Agendamento, McCombs (2009) e conceitos de atores sociais e formação da opinião pública em Habermas (2012a; 2012b) Entre os resultados, foram encontradas 427 chamadas de capa na Folha de S. Paulo e 534 no O Globo, os quais agendaram, quase que diariamente, a Copa por meio de notícias, editoriais, reportagens, colunas, artigos e notas. Deste modo, a cobertura jornalística pôde ser organizada por categorias: campeonato, organização, questões políticas, protestos e gastos com o evento futebolístico, além de ter sido mapeada a presença de atores políticos. Assim, as matérias a respeito da Copa com enfoque na política foram analisadas na perspectiva habermasiana, na qual se verifica que a Folha de S. Paulo e O Globo mantiveram narrativas com interesse em cunhar uma imagem negativa da presidente Dilma Rousseff. Os políticos elencados nas narrativas, também, manifestaram interesses privados, políticos, econômicos e eleitorais em torno do Mundial.

The subject of this thesis is the media, its history and function, and some other specific associated terms (in particular, the concept of objectivity and the theory of agenda- setting). In my thesis, I will also address the relationship between the media and politics. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to analyze the work of three Czech journals (Hospodářské noviny, Mladá fronta DNES, Právo), and two television newscasts (Televizní noviny on TV Nova and Události České televize), in each case focusing on the theme of the American presidential election within a defined period of time (7. 11. 2016 - 13. 11. 2016). The core of the analysis consists of observing the proportion of total space and time that was dedicated to the topic, and in this analysis, I will focus on objectivity, or on the occurrence of the tabloid features.

Immigration is a topic that is not an uncommon occurrence within Sweden, especially in regards to the long history of wars and crisis occurred since the beginning of the 21st century. It could take form of individuals fleeing for their lives as refugees from conflict, or as economic migrants seeking a higher quality of life in a new country. The aim of the study was to analyze the critical discourse on how the Swedish media portrays immigrants and refugees in line with Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework and Dijk’s textual analysis from a socio-cognitive approach. The purpose was to focus on gaining an insight on how Swedish media portrays immigrants and refugees. The newspapers that were analyzed was Dagens Nyheter (DN) and Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) which are two of the largest newspapers in Sweden. The results showed that there was a tendency of the Swedish media to lean toward left-wing discourse in comparison to the rest of Europe. However, the perspective of ‘us’ vs ‘them,’ negative economic costs of refugees and less of a voice for the refugees and migrants was found. Some positive actions for future reporting of immigrants and refugees is to give newcomers to Sweden a stronger voice in the media, where a full account of the report is evident and to utilize neutral diction such as, ‘nyanlända’ when addressing refugees or migrants.
