Denna studie har undersökt vilken typ av nyhetsmaterial som svenska medier publicerar på Facebook, samt hur publiken svarar på innehållet genom likes och delningar. Syftet med studien har varit att ta reda på om den traditionella nyhetsvärderingen speglas på Facebook, och i så fall om publikens likes- och delningsvärderingar samstämmer med mediernas nyhetsvärdering. Materialet som undersökts i denna studie har bestått av det totala antalet publiceringar under en veckas tid på Aftonbladets, Dagens Nyheters och SVT Nyheters Facebooksidor. Genom en kvantitativ innehållsanalys har data samlats in över vilka nyhetsämnen som varit mest frekventa på Facebook, samt över hur publiken valt att interagera på innehållet genom likes och delningar.     Resultatet visar att den traditionella nyhetsvärderingen speglas i Dagens Nyheters och SVT Nyheters rapportering på Facebook, medan Aftonbladets nyhetsvärdering följer de digitala nyhetsvärderingskriterierna. Publikens like- och delningsmönster beror till stor del av nyhetsmediet.

Den 25 juni 2009 dog en av världens mest kända artister, Michael Jackson. Detta orsakade stora rubriker i massmedierna och fans över hela världen sörjde. Denna uppsats handlar om hur Michael Jacksons bortgång framställdes i av de största tidningarna i Sverige, Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter. Vi formulerade följande frågeställningar: Hur framställs och vinklas Michael Jacksons bortgång i Aftonbladet respektive Dagens Nyheter? I vad mån skiljer sig framställningen och vinklingen mellan de båda tidningarna? Genom en kvalitativ textanalys som analysredskap försökte vi besvara dessa frågeställningar. Vi kompletterade med en bildanalys för att få en bättre förståelse för hur bilderna representerar texten. Urvalet bestod av 27 tidningsartiklar under perioden den 25 juni till och med den 9 juli 2009. Sammanlagt blev det 27 artiklar. Uppsatsens teoretiska bas är medielogik och representationsteori. Medielogiken var den primära teorin eftersom den utgår från det journalistiska arbetet. Resultatet visade att Michael Jackson framställdes positivt genom sin musikkarriär men negativt i privatlivet. Stort fokus lades på minnesstunden och orsaken till Michael Jacksons bortgång. Båda tidningarna använde sig av värdeladdade ord för att förtydliga framställningen av honom. Båda tidningarna har använt sig av både mer och mindre tillförlitliga källor. Undersökningen visade att flera skillnader fanns mellan hur tidningarna skildrade Michael Jacksons bortgång.

On September 10th 2003 the Swedish foreign minister Anna Lindh was brutally murdered in a shopping mall in central Stockholm. An intense police pursuit was initiated immediately and shortly after, a man who later proved to be innocent was portrayed as the murderer in the Swedish media. The main purpose of this essay was to examine how the suspect and the police were described in the evening newspaper Aftonbladet and the morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter. Do the descriptions differ in any way? A total of fifteen texts were examined, eight articles from Aftonbladet and seven from Dagens Nyheter. The method we used were critical discourse analysis, with focus on theories like media logic and representation. The result showed that both DN and Aftonbladet used dramaturgical methods as intensification and polarization in their reporting. Both papers also engaged in an extensive description of the 35-year-old's personal history and payed little or no mean to press ethics, in terms of personal integrity. A fact that could indicate the growing convergence between evening and morning press.

The Swedish right-wing party the Sweden Democrats gathered much attention during the Swedish general election of 2010. The party’s immigration policy clashed with other major Swedish parties perceptions and the Sweden Democrats got major coverage in Swedish media even before the election had taken place. Despite controvercies surrounding the party, they eventually succeeded in getting into the parliament. This study explores how the coverage of the Sweden Democrats in five large Swedish newspapers has changed between 2009 and 2013. This was done by studying two periods, each period taking place a year before the next general election. This study aims to provide information on how reporting may change due to factors such as the subject, in this case the Sweden Democrats, gaining political power. The study was conducted using quantitive content analysis on a total of 402 articles retrieved from Mediearkivet. The result shows that negative reporting regarding the Sweden Democrats has been diminished after the party made their way into the parliament. It also shows that although the coverage of the party has been increased since the election of 2010, the party is also less likely to be the main subject of the articles in which it is mentioned. This study explores the normalization of a controversial party in a democracy.

Foreign correspondence is essential for our understanding of the world and therefore it is paramount that we be aware of how it is affected by modern technology and altered economic conditions. In this study we set out to investigate the state of foreign correspondence today, in comparison to twenty years ago. More specifically we compared foreign news articles from a week in 1993 and the same week in 2013, in the Swedish newspapers Expressen and Dagens Nyheter. We chose these newspapers as we felt they each represented a different area of Swedish journalism, DN being a regular morning newspaper and Expressen being a tabloid newspaper. We looked mainly at three things in the articles: who was the writer, i.e. was the article by a correspondent, a news agency or someone else, what source was used and what part of the world was it about. We then made comparisons between both the different years and the different newspapers, as well as current and twenty years old lists of correspondents. According to the material we looked at there were some clear differences between foreign correspondence 1993 and 2013. Overall the number of correspondents has gone down, although the difference is mainly due to changes made by Expressen, while DN had a much smaller decrease. The number of articles written by correspondents had similarly decreased, however the total number of foreign articles had not. And for Expressen the number of articles based on their own information had actually increased. And so had the number of countries covered during that week. To cover for the decrease in articles written by foreign correspondents, DN had mainly increased their use of news agencies, while Expressen had a considerably larger share of articles written by journalists who are not regular foreign correspondents. The decrease of foreign correspondents had had no negative effect on the amount of articles, covered countries or articles based on the newspapers own information. With an increasingly globalized world, having journalist stationed around it has become less necessary to keeping up a large quantity of foreign articles. Journalism is, however, about more than quantity, and there is reason to be cautious of a foreign journalism that is increasingly written by people lacking specialized knowledge of the area they are writing about.

This paper is about cyber-bullying, the youth’s experience and how the papers image of cyber- bullying looks. The relevance of this essay be to be found in the aim of the research of the cyber bullying today. By examining how the youth’s usage and experience’s - and the papers image of cyber-bullying in the social media, it will be possible to create an understanding for how the social media is represented today. And in the next stage having the ability to work against the cyber bullying. Two methods is used in the studie, a text analysis and a survey. The text analysis is based on a total of 257 articles from two of the biggest tabloids in Sweden, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and the biggest daily news papers Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. All the articles has been publicized between 2010-01-01 to 2013-12-31. The aim of the text analysis was to collect the papers picture of cyber bullying. A survey was created to corral information about the youth’s experience. The survey was sent to two schools in Stockholm, the junior high school Rålambshovsskolan and the high school Thorildsplans gymnasium. The survey resulted in 68 answers where the experience of the youth summarized. The result of the text analysis showed that cyber bullying in the news papers makes up a picture of that the woman is the victim of the bullying, Facebook and Instagram is the most popular social medias, and that Facebook is the most common to be bullied on. But it also showed that the writer of the articles is using metaphors to tone up an feeling. The writer can decide what credibility different statements will have depending on with which words the writer describe the statements. The result of the survey showed that Kik, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat was the most used social media. And that a majority of 54 of 68, had read something mean about someone they know on social media. 42 persons had not been exposed to cyber bullying, but 13 said that they had been, and the same number said that they didn’t know if they hade been cyber bullied. Facebook was mentioned as the most common social media to be exposed to cyber bullying on. 
 The author of the articles has the power to influence the persons that have pronounced in the articles credibility. This factors will in the end influence on the public, which will create their opinions based on what they read. This showed that the concept cyber bullying is obscure, the youth has to know if they are cyber bullied or not, and they have to know if they are cyber bullying someone or not.

This essay researches how newspapers created fictional reader identities through their content. Three newspapers have been studied from the week first to eight of February 1890, Nya Dagligt Allehanda, Dagens Nyheter and Stockholms Nyheter. The question that the essay is attempting to answer is which fictional readers were created. This is done through both a content analysis and a deeper language analysis of the newspapers. The text is seen as an active agent, creating the identity of the reader that they imagine when they write, an ideal reader. The content analysis compares the three newspapers with each other and studies the type of news that were reported. The differences between which occurrences and what kind of news are being reported shows the differences between the fictional readers that were created. The deep analysis studies one article from each newspaper more closely to see which words were used and how the newspapers used language to create a fictional reader. Criticism were often used to shows which group and opinions the fictional reader were identified with and which were the opponents. The fictional readers were quite political since a lot of the content was about politics or held political views. The newspapers transferred their political views to the fictional reader through the content. NDAs fictional reader was politically right-wing, interested in the other European countries and against socialism. DNs fictional reader was liberal and interested in political debates, the tariff issue and the rights for freedom of speech. Their opponent was the conservative and protectionist. SNs fictional reader had political opinions, but little interest in how the government worked and more in the doings of ordinary people. The fictional reader often criticized the authority and voiced it's opinion strongly.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur mediers gestaltning av mat och matlagning reproducerar livsstilar och identiteter. De senaste åren har mat börjat förekomma alltmer frekvent i olika medier. Varje dag släpps en ny bok om matlagning i Sverige, när vi bläddrar bland kanalerna på tv:n visas nästan alltid någon form av matlagningsprogram och i affären syns rader av matmagasin i tidningsställen. I genomförandet av vår undersökning har vi valt att använda oss av identifikationsteorin och teorin om användarperspektivet. För att göra detta har vi gjort en kvalitativ textanalys av artiklar ur två svenska tidningar, Dagens Nyheter och Allt om mat. Med hjälp av ett kodschema har varje artikel analyserats på både makro- och mikronivå. För att få en historisk översikt och landa så nära nutid som möjligt har vi gjort nedslag i 1973, 1993 och 2013. Resultatet av vår studie visar att det har skett en förändring i matjournalistiken. De tidigare nedslagen var det maten som stod i fokus. Men mellan 1993 och 2013 har det skett en förskjutning i fokus. Det är människorna bakom maten som får störst utrymme i artiklarna. Möjligheterna till identifikation är mycket större 2013 än var de var 1973 och 1993.

From the end of the Second World War until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 the world was divided. An iron curtain separated the world into two parts, east and west. These were dominated by the two great powers, the Soviet Union and the USA. The contradictions between the great powers should characterize the whole period that was named the Cold War. USA and the Soviet Union never met in open confrontation during this time, but it happened indirectly in the many conflicts that occurred during the Cold War. The Vietnam War (1964-1975) and the Afghanistan War (1979-1989) were two conflicts in which the great powers brought war against smaller states and the non-fighting part supported the resistance against the great power.   The purpose of this study is to examine the three Swedish newspapers, Svenska Dagbladet, Dagens nyheter och Norrskensflamman, and thereby discover how they reported during the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War.  We seek the answer on following questions: What did the reporting looked like during the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War and how did it change over time? How does the newspapers political point of view appear on the editorial pages? Which international outlook can be seen in the news report and which are the similarities and differences?   In order to do this we’ve used a qualitative method. The result shows that three different international outlooks are described in the newspapers. We can also confirm that the political point of view for each newspaper is confirmed by the standard reporting and primarily by the content of the editorial pages.
