The diploma thesis From an influencer to a journalist - a new form of a deprofessionalization of journalism? aims to acquaint readers with a modern trend, where influencers, people operating primarily on social media, become journalists, who create media performances. In the theoretical part, conceptions such as an influencer, social media or even the concept of a deprofessionalization of journalism are established. In the methodical part, the author chose a qualitative research method, specifically throughout interviews with influencers already participating in the media. In addition to the research method and research set, the reader is also acquainted with research questions, which were formed into interrogative questions. The last part of the thesis is dedicated to the research itself. In the opening chapter, the concepts are ordered and categorized, which was later used by the author to assemble chapters Influencer, Education and practice, Employment relationship, Theoretical preparation, Working in the media and Social media. To each chapter citations from thorough interviews were implemented, which contributed as confirmation from influencers, who works or worked for the media. Thanks to open questions the closure could be made, that deprofessionalization of journalism is incorrectly linked with...

Att uppleva sig som anställningsbar innebär inte en anställning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur unga män från Rinkeby med akademisk examen upplever deras anställningsbarhet, vilka eventuella stödjande strukturer de upplever kan öka deras möjligheter till arbete, samt vilken effekt arbetsmöjligheterna har på deras välbefinnande. Det genomfördes 8 semistrukturerade intervjuer som sedan tematiserades, där 8 centrala teman identifierades: fördomar under ytan, områdets begränsningar till önskat arbete, nätverkets betydelse, brist på vägledning, ekonomisk trygghet, känsla av exkludering, hopplösa drömmar och effekten på självförtroendet. Resultatet visade att männen upplever sig vara anställningsbara då de erhåller en examen, samt att de upplever sig ha kontakter, men inte väsentliga kontakter i förhållande till önskat arbete. Arbetsmöjligheterna har påverkat männens välbefinnande, men inte självförtroendet. Resultatet antyder att bristande ekonomi och känslan av exkludering har haft en effekt på välbefinnandet. Samt att de unga männens egen viljan och förmåga har en inverkan på deras anställningsbarhet.

Background: Business relationships and networks are becoming increasingly complicated and multi-layered. Thus, understanding the structure of the network in question becomes pertinent as it can have a strong impact on competition and collaboration. In these networks, one can observe coopetition, or simultaneous cooperation and competition. Objectives: This master’s thesis explores the phenomenon of coopetition within the telecommunication sector in the county of Blekinge, Sweden. It aims to identify their network structure and the differences among the levels of the network. Methodology: An explorative study is carried out by employing a mixed methods approach, incorporating quantitative data collection and analysis methods, and qualitative discussion and interpretation. In this network analysis of a case study on the telecommunication network, different levels of the cooperation network are compared and then integrated into one and mapped out using Social Network Analysis (SNA). Results: According to the findings we can assume coopetition to be present within the telecommunications firms in Blekinge, revealing a fragmented and decentralized cooperative network structure with a few central nodes. The network contained five distinct cliques and presented an intermediate level of clustering and significant heterophily. At all network levels, fragmentation was evident, accompanied by a low average degree and density. Notably, the Board member level demonstrated resilience against node removal, while the Blue Science Park level displayed a preferential attachment mechanism that promotes network growth. Conclusions: Overall, this research enhances our knowledge of coopetition in the telecommunications industry. It has both practical and theoretical implications, providing a solid foundation for informed decision-making, fostering collaboration, and contributing to the sustainable development of Blekinge's telecommunication industry.
