This study analyzes how Swedish and Turkish journalists cope with threats, hatred, and harassment, and what role journalistic ideals and organizational support play in their coping process. The study is based on qualitative interviews, analyzed utilizing aspects from the theoretical framework of systems and coping theories. The aim of the study is to delve into personal experiences in circumstances where journalists face threat, hatred, or harassment to increase our understanding of how journalists cope with them and what happens to their journalistic ideals during this process. The results show that both groups have a similar view on which journalistic ideals are important. Both groups of journalists used emotion-focused and problem-focused coping mechanisms which utilized journalistic ideals in one way or another, to feel control over the situation. In some cases, ideals were experienced as comforting, and in others, they were compromised. Lastly, organizational support was seen and experienced as a part of individual coping only for Swedish journalists, who expressed it as a primary method to cope with hostile situations, while it remained absent for Turkish journalists in this study.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer beskriver våldet i sina egna självbiografier samt vilka copingstrategier som kan identifieras i deras berättelser. Med hjälp av fyra självbiografier skrivna av kvinnor som under många år levt med en våldsutövande man ska deras beskrivning av våldet belysas. Empirin kommer med hjälp av teorier så som normaliseringsprocessen och teorier om copingstrategier att analyseras. Våldet som belyses är fysiskt, psykiskt, sexuellt och ekonomiskt. Resultaten visar att kvinnorna beskriver liknande tillvägagångssätt och händelser kring alla de olika våldsformerna. Männens kontroll och isolering dominerar kvinnornas liv och leder till en känsla av förlorad verklighetsuppfattning. Copingstrategierna som identifierades delades upp i emotionell och problemfokuserad coping. Emotionellt fokuserad coping identifierades som bland annat att ventilera, hitta stöd, religion samt förnekelse av sin situation. Den problemfokuserade copingstrategier identifierades som informationssamlande, anpassade beteende och sökandet efter sin nya roll. / The purpose of this study is to examine how women who have been subjected to intimate partner violence describe the violence in their own autobiographies, as well as which coping strategies can be identified in their stories. With the help of four autobiographies written by women who lived with a violent man for many years, their description of the violence will be highlighted. The experience will be analyzed with the help of theories such as the normalization process and theories of coping strategies. The coping strategies are divided into emotional and problem-focused coping. The violence highlighted is physical, psychological, sexual and financial violence. The results show that the women describe similar approaches and events around all  different forms of violence. Men's control and isolation dominate women's lives and lead to a sense of lost perception of reality.The coping strategies identified were divided into emotional and problem-focused. Emotionally focused coping was identified as, among other things, ventilating, turning to one's religion for support and denial of one's situation. The problem-focused coping strategies are identified as information gathering, adapted behavior and the search for one's new role.
