The purpose of this study is to show which content that is most common in the Swedish News Agency TT Nyhetsbyrån’s sports coverage. It also shows if the coverage is concentrated to for example any special sports, clubs, people or topics. This study uses a quantitative content analysis and the result is based on texts from 28 systematically selected days during one year. In total, the study includes 906 texts. The result of this study shows that the sports content of TT Nyhetsbyrån’s news feed is mainly concentrated to two sports, football/soccer and ice hockey. Several studies of other Sports Media show the same result as this study in terms of news content.  One of the conclusions is that the sports coverage is focused on athletes and teams at a professional level. Only a few sports, almost entirely practiced by men, is represented in the reporting. There are also other attributes that seem important for the news coverage. One of the most common attributes is that a big part of the news texts includes Swedish Athletes. Another important attribute is that the news can be related to a country that is close to Sweden in culture.

Title: The news betrayal from TT – A quantitative content analysis of TT’s news reporting from the north In the year of 2013 TT-nyhetsbyrån closed down their three local editorial offices in north Sweden with a promise that the news coverage of Norrland would remain the same. In this study we aim to examine if, and how, the journalistic content has changed due to their centralization.  Based on theories of media and democracy, the commercialization of journalism and news evaluation, this study investigates different aspects of TT’s journalistic output such as news outlets, news topic, democratic value dimensions, framing, original reporting and sourcing.  The material of examination consists of a total of 199 articles which derive from Luleå, Umeå and Sundsvall. Further the material is spread out over two periods of time. More particularly five years before, and five years after the close down. We have employed a so-called synthetic week during both time intervals, meaning that you randomly select Monday one week, Tuesday the following week, and so forth.  The result of the quantitative study showed that TT’s news reporting about the municipalities has decreased in all the aspects that have been investigated. The analysis of the result, together with previous research and chosen theories, indicates that TT seems to have become more commercialized and audience-oriented, which may have affected how news is valued. From a democratic perspective it is problematic. As the largest news agency TT plays an important role in Swedish journalism, not least when editorial offices around the country reduce their own news coverage.

Problem formulation There are many studies on how the media produces environmental changes, but environmental changes are a large abstract topic. It includes many smaller parts of more concrete contexts. One very big problem that occurs is that human footprints end up in poorer countries, where natural resources are converted into goods that are consumed by us in the western world. Tropical forests in Borneo, Malaysia and Indonesia are devastated in favor of plantations of oil palm trees, which are then used in a variety of commodities worldwide. In this paper we want to highlight the subject of palm oil. We want to make people more aware of how the palm oil industry is conducted and where the newspapers put their focus. Aim The study aims to investigate whether Expressen, the Sveriges Natur, the Tidningen Syre, Dalarnas Tidningar and TT Nyhetsbyrån and how they are presented to citizens in those publications. Method and material A quantitative content analysis has been carried out consisting of a total of 14 analysis objects from Expressen, Sveriges Natur, Tidningen Syre, Dalarnas Tidningar and TT Nyhetsbyrån. Main results We can conclude that the topic of palm oil and the palm oil industry in the articles is an infected debate in which many different aspects are involved. Conflicts are the focus of reporting, closely followed by human responsibility for the enviroment. The categories have given us an overview of how many different aspects are included in the subject and how many concerns there are in connection with the palm oil industry.
