<p>For an owner of several media companies it is possible to make to make promotion for various products with help from all companies in the group. The purpose of this thesis is to study how media concentration affects the journalistic material in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. We chose to study how the television channel TV4 is presented in Dagens Nyheter. The newspaper and the television channel have had the same owner since 2007, namely the Bonnier Group. Our study was based on American theories of media concentration and its effects. We used a qualitative content analysis, partly inspired by discourse analysis.  The material was based on articles covering TV4 for a period of one month. We have interpreted the articles and presented the analysis backed up by quotes we have found bearing important tendencies.    Our results indicate that the Dagens Nyheter most of the time presented the channel TV4 in a favourable way. We have also found that the articles would portrait people associated with the channel TV4 in a similarly favourable way. Based on our analysis, we do not exclude the idea that the Dagens Nyheter – in covering TV4 – to some extent was influenced by this joint ownership.</p>

I denna studie undersöks hur journalister på Sveriges och Irlands största dagstidningar, Dagens Nyheter och Irish Independent, rapporterar om abort under perioden 1 januari - 1 augusti 2012. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt har inspirerats av Jesper Strömbäcks teori om mediernas gestaltningsmakt. Carol Lee Bacchis ‘What´s the problem’-approach har gett en förståelse för att abortfrågan ses på olika sätt i olika delar av världen. Bill Kovach och Tom Rosenstiels journalistiska riktlinjer har varit utgångspunkt för vad som förväntas av yrkesverksamma journalister världen över. För att besvara hur journalisterna på de båda tidningarna rapporterar om abort genomfördes en kvantitativ analys som omfattade 152 texter. Den kvantitativa analysen kompletterades med en kvalitativ analys av fem texter från varje tidning. Studien visar att de ideologiska och kulturella strukturer som återfinns i samhället i hög grad återspeglas i hur journalister rapporterar om abort. Abort omskrivs med en högre acceptans i Dagens Nyheter och mer konservativt i Irish Independent. Samtidigt är svenska journalisters rapportering om abort mer likriktad än de irländska journalisternas, som visar på en bredare spann av åsikter och sätt att se på abortfrågan. Det finns inte enbart skillnader i hur irländska och svenska journalister rapporterar om abort. Studien visar att även om journalisterna har olika syn på abortfrågan ser de på den som makthavarnas ansvar - inte individens. Svenska journalisters rapportering om abort blir även mer lik de irländska journalisternas när abortfrågan övergår till att handla om det mer etiskt känsliga ämnet fosterdiagnostik.

Problemformulering och syfte: Medias könsrepresentation har under åren visat sig vara ojämn, både i könens förekomst och i de stereotypiska skildringarna. Under 1970-talet var kvinnorna underrepresenterade i dagstidningarnas material jämfört med männen. Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka på vilket sätt kvinnor och män framställs på bild i tidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Aftonbladet år 2015. Ur ett genusperspektiv ville vi analysera bilder som publicerats under en veckas tid, för att se om det finns skillnader i framställandet av kvinnor och män, samt se hur ofta och var de syns i tidningarna. Vi ville även se om det fanns någon skillnad i hur dagspress och kvällspress framställer kvinnor och män på bild. Metod och urval: Undersökningen genomfördes som en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av bildmaterialet i tidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Aftonbladet. Urvalet av tidningar och bilder är strategiskt gjorda. Huvudresultat: Resultatet visar att kvinnor fortfarande är underrepresenterade män i både dagspress och kvällspress. Kvinnor representeras mest i kultur- och nöjesdelarna, medan männen representeras mest i sporten. Det finns fortfarande skillnader i hur kvinnor och män framställs på bild, men resultatet visar att det har blivit lite jämnare.

Migration är en av historiens och samtidens mest sammansatta fenomen, sett ur såväl ett etniskt, ekonomiskt, politiskt som ur ett socialt perspektiv. Trots stora historiska variationer i antalet av migration, kan konstateras att Sverige åtminstone under de senaste 150 åren, gått från att vara ett utvandringsland till att vara ett invandringsland. Syftet med denna studie var att genom analys av två svenska dagstidningar Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) och Dagens nyheter (DN) under åren 1974, 1995, 2015, undersöka hur förståelse och meningsskapande till invandring som en utmaning framställs. Studien har en socialkonstruktionistisk ansats där textanalyser genomförts med fokus på dominerande föreställningar om invandring som utmaning i politiska nyheter och ledarsidor. I analysen har tre tveeggade diskursiva idéutrymmen identifierats: (i) solidaritetens-/okunnighetens-, (ii) humanitetens/kriminalitetens- och (iii) medmänsklighetens/rädslans diskurser. Diskurserna är verksamma när invandring som utmaning diskuteras och skrivs som politiska nyheter. Dessa tre olika idéutrymmen är helt olika varandra och har en helt annan politisk innebörd.

In this study I have examined how Swedish artists are portrayed in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. I have been using a critical discourse analysis to analyze twelve articles, whereof six interviews with female performing artists and six with male performing artists. The main findings show that the journalist mostly describes the artists in ways that can be seen as normative for the female and male gender. The female artists are described  as strong and caring about relationships, while the majority of the male artists are described as brave and tough. Both the female and male performing artists are described as outreach and people who are not affraid to express themselves.

<p>In recent years, family firms have been stressed as important contributors to economic wealth. An increased focus from both researchers and practitioners can therefore be seen in various forms such as research institutes and conferences. Furthermore, family firms are often treated as a group of similar kind while inherent differences are played down.</p><p>From a theoretical perspective, organisations look at the behaviour of others that face similar complex situations, such as succession. Information can be found in institutional carriers who connect groups of firms. By imitating what is perceived as successful practices, family firms face the risk of employing inefficient procedures in times of succession.</p><p>The purpose of this thesis was to investigate what kind of ideas Dagens Industri as institutional carrier communicates about succession in family firms. To fulfil the purpose, data was retrieved in the form of Dagens Industri articles concerning family businesses and succession. Interpretations were based on theoretical constructs on family firms as well as institutional theory.</p><p>From our findings, it was observed that family firms differ on the basis of industry presence and ownership structure. Furthermore, importance of time and communication was stressed in Dagens Industri.</p>

The aim of this thesis was to examine how the two Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter portrayed the actions of Russia, Vladimir Putin, Nato and their allies and Ukraine in the conflict surrounding the sovereignty of Crimea that started in 2014.Our study was based on 18 news articles from the start of the conflict up to august of 2015.The results showed that Russia is portrayed as the villian of the conflict. Aftonbladet portrayed the nation as a threat to Sweden and the rest of the western countries. Both papers tended to treat Russian sources with distrust, often choosing to interview Swedish experts on Russia rather than citing Russian sources. Vladimir Putin was portrayed as an evil dictator who set his own interests first and foremost. Both papers drew parallels between Putins way of ruling with the style of leadership in Soviet Russia.In both Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, Nato and their allies actions are portrayed as self defence towards Russia. Their actions are justified and always put in a perspective towards the actions of the Russians.The nation of Ukraine are initially portrayed as victims of Russian aggression. A few months into the conflict the newspapers started to become more critical of the Ukrainian actions, but always put it into perspective towards russian actions.Our study shows that swedish media holds a critical view towards Russia and their actions.

Newsmedia can act both as a powerful source of knowledge about the society and the world, but it can also act as a strong source of influence in terms of how we percieve current events and for example organizations. The main focus of this paper is to analyse two swedish organizations working with humanitarian aid, the Red cross and Unicef, and how they are portraited in two of the biggest newspapers in Sweden. The aim of this paper is to see whether the conformation or the perception of the organizations are supported through the perception of media. Based on the aim and main focus the three questions that we will answer in the result chapter are ”How does the Red Cross and UNICEF portrays themselves through their websites and via press releases?”, ”What does the organizations press releases say, and which pieces of the press release have an impact in Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet?” and the final question ”How is the Red Cross and UNICEF's reflected in the two newspapers and are the organizations mentioned in the same context in which they work with?” To be able to answer these three questions we are analyzing the organizations websites and press releases to confirm the confirmation that is made through these channels. Then we analyze whether this confirmation is the same in articles published in two of the largest newspapers in Sweden, Dagens nyheter och Aftonbladet. The newspapers are two different type of news papers, Dagens Nyheter is a morning paper and Aftonbladet is a evning paper. The reason we use two different types of newspapers is to see if there is any difference in how the organizations are portaited, depending on the different approach of the newspaper. These results will then be compared and analyzed in order to answer our research questions. As tools for this analyze, we have chosen to use a quantitative analysis, an index for how actors are treated in media and also a textanalysis. The result of this analysis is complex but the general finding is that the confirmation of both of the organizations are supported through all elements of communication. We also found that both the Red cross and Unicef are mentioned in contexts that are relevant for the work that they do. One example is that UNICEF is mentioned in articles regarding children, education etc.
