Denna uppsats undersöker vilken världsbild SVT Rapport förmedlar. Frågeställningarna som uppsatsen tar upp är följande; Vilka världsdelar syns? Vad handlar nyheterna om? Vem uttalar sig? Hur framställs människor och deras samhällsklimat?    För att försöka besvara dessa frågor används en kombination av kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod. Studien tar avstamp i en kvantitativ innehållsanalys med ett kodschema som innehåller 225 inslag från SVT Rapport under perioden april 2010 till och med mars 2011. Variablerna är världsdel, land, huvudämne och källor.    Den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen utförs med hjälp av en semiotisk analys. Paradigm, syntagm, denotation, konnotation och metonymi är centrala begrepp i denna del av uppsatsen.    Undersökningen stödjer sig på teorier om nyheter och nyhetsvärdering. Jaap van Ginneken, Anna Roosvall, Johan Galtung och Marie Holmboe-Ruge är några av medievetarna som har bistått med teorier här.    Studien visar att Rapports nyhetsrapportering, under det undersökta året, inte är proportionerlig med jordens befolkningsspridning. Västeuropa, Mellanöstern/Nordafrika och Nordamerika är de världsdelar som syns mest, medan folkrika Asien inte syns lika mycket.    Regionerna förekommer i olika sammanhang. Bevakningen av Mellanöstern handlar vid denna period till exempel främst om krig och väpnad konflikt och från väst kommer nyheter om politik och ekonomi.    Den stora skillnaden ligger dock i hur världsdelarna porträtteras. Den semiotiska analysen visar att det är lättare för tittaren att sympatisera med personer som tillåts synas, uttrycka sig och visa känslor.    Slutsatsen blir att utrikesrapporteringen är snedvriden och att detta beror på en rutinmässig nyhetsvärdering.

This study intends to examine why the Swedish children’s programme Bolibompa is produced the way it is during a larger catastrophe. Our intention was to find out how the editorial staff, in the children’s department in the public service television of Sweden (SVT),was handling the Estonia disaster, the September 11 attacks and the Asian Tsunami. To accomplish that, we first had to find out how the children’s programme looked during these catastrophes and also understand how the editorial staff was working with children’s programme during ordinary days. To achieve our purpose we have been interviewing five persons from SVT, who was involved in producing the children’s programme during these three catastrophes. The method we used was qualitative research interview and theories of socialisation, media effects, social responsibility and theories of rhetoric mass media guided our study. We found out that the editorial staff was producing the children’s programme differently during each catastrophe. When the Estonia disaster occurred, the children’s programme was delayed because of extended news. Next to the children’s programme a host was talking directly to the children trying to explain the accident. The day after the September 11 attacks the host of the children’s programme was discussing the catastrophe with invited guests in the TV studio. The editorial staff thought that many children were frightened at the time and that explains why they decided to keep a conversation. During the Asian Tsunami, SVT was broadcasting a Christmas special, and the children’s programmes weren’t changed at all,mostly because a break in the Christmas series would cause a lot of problems.

In this study we examine to what extent people with disability participate in television news and how they are represented. We chose to examine one broadcast per day of SVT Public Service news program Rapport and commercial channel TV4 Nyheterna (TV4 News) during one month using quantitative content analysis and qualitative discourse analysis. We found that people with disability are underrepresented in television news. In Rapport only 1,9 percent of the total broadcasting time contained people with disability and in TV4 Nyheterna 3 percent of the total broadcasting time contained people with disability. In the news people with disability were often represented as stereotypes, most commonly as victims. The focus was often on the medical aspect of the disability and on the problems that people with disability had. Through our qualitative analysis we found that television news discriminated people with disability in almost all of the news features by representing them as passive and not individuals but as representatives of the group “people with disability”.

The study has answered the questions to what extent people with disabilities are involved in SVT- and TV4- news reports and how people with disabilities are represented in news reports. The material is based on 140 news items. The study has demonstrated that news reports SVT and TV4 have different grades of misconceptions about disabled people. Disabled people are constantly being reinforced by negative disabling terms, the disability being of central importance for the news broadcast and they still occur in stereotypical depictions. Through the image of disabled people forms the bed-rock on which the attitudes towards, assumptions and expectations of disabled people are based on. They are fundamental to discrimination and exploitation that people with disabilities face on a daily basis, and contributes significantly to their systematic exclusion from mainstream society. Their continued use could contribute to the negative self-image of disabled people and, at the same time, perpetuates discriminatory attitudes and practices among the general public.

In this study, we looked at how balanced the various christian denominations in Sweden were raised in the news, on the basis of the requirement for balanced reporting. To measure the balance, we utilized Harcup and O'Neill’s news values and studied to what degree these values occurs in association with news articles that address the various denominations. The following denominations were selected for this study; Word of Life, the Pentecostal Church, Jehovah's witnesses, the Catholic Church, the Salvation Army and the Swedish Church. These denominations were then studied on the basis of news values in four of Sweden’s largest news organisations, in terms of audience numbers. We selected Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet, Sveriges Radio and SVT. What we found was that the Pentecostal Church, the Catholic church and the Swedish church was lifted in a similar and balanced way, while Jehovah's Witnesses, the Salvation Army and Word of Life only were lifted out of a few of the news values. We also found differences between the news organisations and their usage of the news values.We found, for example, a significant deviation in Aftonbladets usage of the news values “good news” and “bad news”.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter inkräktade på den syn man hade på barn och barnprogram under 1970-talet. För att få en förståelse för debatten och kritiken som Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter fick, undersökte vi även vilka värderingar och normer som var viktiga under denna period. Vi har även genomfört intervjuer med Magnus Härenstam, Brasse Brännström och Bengt Linné och analyserat fyra sketcher från programserien.

Projektet och examinationen är uppdelad i två delar. En reflekterande del och en produktion. Den reflekterande delen handlar om att vi ska få svar på de frågor vi ställde oss innan projektets start. Dessa frågor (se projektplanen) ska vi nu ha ett svar på samt att vi nu ska kritiskt granska vår process samt arbete. Vi måste också kunna svara på frågan om vi uppnådde de mål som vi satte upp i starten av projektet. Var målet, processen, syfte och metod överensstämmande med vår arbete? Detta hoppas vi kunna svara på i denna reflekterande del Vi har gjort en dokumentärfilm riktad mot ungdomar i samarbete med SVT i Växjö. Målet har varit att göra ett så bra arbete att vår film sänds på TV. Vi strävade efter att göra positiv TV som alla kan ta till sig. Vår inriktning under de två sista åren på Medieteknik har varit video, ljud och musikproduktion. Alltså var valet ganska lätt, vi ville göra en film och när vi pratade med SVT i Växjö var de också intresserade att påbörja ett samarbete med oss på Medieteknik. Vi har alltså SVT i Växjö som extern uppdragsgivare, detta faktum har naturligtvis påverkat oss då vi gör en film som kommer att visas på SVT i januari 2004. Denna yttre faktor har gjort oss mer noggranna och mer resultatinriktade. Samarbete med SVT har varit mycket givande och intimt, vi har fått mycket hjälp av Rune Johnsson som är fotograf hos SVT i Växjö. Utan Runes engagemang och framåtanda hade vi inte uppnått detta resultat som vi är väldigt nöjda med. Vår interna handledare, Paul Carlsson, har också varit till stor hjälp, han har stöttat oss och kommit med goda råd när vi kört fast. Det är Paul som kommer att examinera oss Att göra en dokumentär som är tänkt att visas på TV har varit en stor utmaning för oss men vi såg inga hinder som skulle göra att vi misslyckades. Vi har jobbat målmedvetet för att lyckas prestera det bästa, med ett acceptabelt sevärt resultat. Med detta arbete har vi fått offra mycket av vår fritid. Inspelningen har skett mestadels på kvällar och helger. Samtidigt har tre av våra medverkande bott i Växjöområdet så det har även inneburit många resor fram och tillbaks till Växjö. Vi är alla överens om att det har varit värt allt slit. Nu vet vi vilka misstag som vi kommer att göra i framtiden samt hur vi undviker dem. / The documentary that we have made is about four youngsters who, for one reason or another, have chosen not to prioritize school. We were already from the start of this examination job, agreeing on making a documentary film in a positive spirit. What we mean is that we wanted to make a film that is focused on a common phenomena that occurs in our society, from a objective angle. That we wanted to tell people that there are other ways to go, than the conventional life at school. At the same time we want to wash away the brand that people who has no higher education are losers, useless and with no future. We managed to find four colourful youngsters who where very different from each other. These girls and boys have all chosen not to prioritize school. Maybe not forever, but they have made a decision to quit, not caring about, or never starting school. So the film is about why they made their decisions and what they are doing instead. We also want to show their social life, their parents and their friend’s reactions. Will they be isolated from the society when they have chosen another lifestyle? Do they have any goals? What are they doing with their new won freedom? We want the viewer to react on one or more of the people in this film, maybe recognize that he or she knows someone that is in the same situation. Another thing that we want the audience to think about is what will happen to these young people in the future. Will they survive or will they become victims of the society? This film is made in co-operation with SVT (Swedish National Television) and will be broadcasted in January 2004. The reason for making a film is that we want to work with film production and everything it involves. Now when the movie is done and we have made all the mistakes that can be done, we have got the experience that is needed to start a new career.
