This study intends to examine the impact of a well known debate page in one of Sweden’s biggest newspapers, Dagens Nyheter. We have done this by analysing Ekot, Aktuellt, Göteborgs Posten and Västerbottens-Kuriren to see to what extent they “take” news from the debate page. The method used was content analysis and to describe some of our thoughts about how we placed the hits in different categories we chose eight of our hits to exemplify. The material from the newspapers, radio and television was examined to discover the potential impact from the debate page. To carry out this study we have mainly used theories about how media get influenced by each other’s news and how they do follow-ups and refer to the original media. Other theories of importance for our study are for example those about what kinds of events that become news and how media influences people’s thoughts about what’s important. One of the most important conclusions we were able to draw after carrying out our study was that the debate page in Dagens Nyheter has quite a small impact on what our chosen media reported on. The biggest impact was found in the newspapers, whereas radio and television very seldom referred to the debate page. To sum up, one can absolutely say that the debate page in Dagens Nyheter is powerful and do have impact on other media, but an article published on the page is not automatically discussed and debated in other media during the day.

I denna studie studeras dagordningsteorin, intermedial dagordning och vilken skillnad som underhållningsmedia, i detta fallet dokumentärer och tv-serier, kan ha för hur media rapporterar om olika ämnen och sporter. Syftet i den här studien är att se hur underhållningsmedium potentiellt kan göra intryck på medias dagordning genom intermedial dagordning. Vi använder oss av tv-serien Formula 1: Drive to survive som ett case för att se skillnaden på medias rapportering mellan två olika tidsperioder. För att göra detta använder sig studien av en kvantitativ innehållsanalys där vi analyser artiklar, framtagna från mediearkivet retriever, med hjälp av SPSS. Vi analyserar 200 olika artiklar där 100 stycken är tagna från tidsperioden 2015-2018 och de resterande 100 artiklarna är från 2019-2022. Studiens teoretiska ramverk är dagordningsteorin, intermedial dagordning och gestaltningsteorin. Resultaten från studien visar på ökningar av bland annat mängden pressutskick och artiklar som hanterar ämnet ekonomi. I studien analyserades det även ifall förekomsten av rykten och spekulationer var hög i rapporteringen men det visade den sig inte vara. Vi har sett att fler länder rapporterade om Formel 1 i den andra tidsperioden. Analysen visade en minskning av antalet notiser i den andra tidsperioden och även en ökning av antalet pressutskick i samma tidsperiod. De enda märkvärdiga skillnaderna vad gäller omfång var att standardavvikelsen var lägre i den andra tidsperioden. Framställandet av Formel 1 tycks inte ha förändrats på något markant sätt efter Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Utifrån vår studie så finns det få markanta skillnader mellan tidsperioderna. I denna studie och i detta case så ser vi inte att det skett något markant intermedial dagordning även ifall allmänheten möjligtvis har fått ett större intresse för Formel 1 efter Formula 1: Drive to Survive. / In this paper we are studying the agenda setting theory, intermedial agenda setting and what differences entertainment, in this case documentaries and tv-series, can make on how the media are reporting on different subjects and sports. The purpose of this study is to see how entertainment media can potentially make an imprint on the media’s agenda setting through intermedial agenda setting. We are using the tv-series Formula 1: Drive to survive as a case to see the differences in how the media are reporting on the sport between two different time periods. To accomplish this we are using a quantitative content analysis where we analyze articles, collected with mediearkivet retriever, with the help of SPSS. We analyzed 200 articles with 100 articles taken from the time period of 2015-2018 and the remaining 100 articles taken from the period 2019-2022. The theoretical framework of the study is the agenda setting theory, intermedial agenda setting and framing theory. The results of the study show increases in, among other things, the amount of press releases and articles dealing with economics as a subject. In the study, it was also analyzed if the occurrence of rumors and speculation was high in the reporting, but it turned out not to be. We have seen more countries reporting on Formula 1 in the second time period. The analysis showed a decrease in the number of notices in the second time period and also an increase in the number of press releases in the same time period. The only significant differences in scope of the articles were that the standard deviation was markedly lower in the second time period. The representation of Formula 1 does not seem to have changed in any significant way after Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Based on our study, there are few differences between the time periods. In this study and in this case, we do not see that there has been any significant intermedial agenda setting, even if the public has possibly gained a greater interest in Formula 1 after Formula 1: Drive to Survive.
