The purpose of this study was to examine if there have been any changes in the way the evening press frames Swedish football fans as a result of the corona restrictions. We chose to analyse articles from the last four and a half months during the 2019 season in comparison with the same period in 2021, when the Swedish government eased the restrictions and fans were welcomed back to watch the games. We chose to implement a quantitative content analysis with articles from the two websites of the biggest newspapers in Sweden regarding sports, Aftonbladet and Expressen. The study shows several interesting results, including a significant increase in positive framing when talking about football fans after the restrictions but when fans are criticised, they are not offered the opportunity to respond. The study also shows that the evening press rarely use the word "hooligan" in their reporting.

In 2019 a virus emerged from the city of Wuhan, China. A few months later, in 2020 itwas declared a pandemic.

Thepurpose of this study was to examine how the swedish newspapers, Aftonbladet,Expressen, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet framed political figures and therestrictions in their articles. This study implies that the articles are framed in a mannerthat focuses on the responsibility that the society and political figures have to resolvethe issues regarding the restrictions. The newspapers that were examined during thisstudy have had similar framing strategies regarding the restrictions.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka scenkonstnärligt yrkesverksammas upplevelse av publikrestriktionerna till följd av Covid-19. För att besvara studiens frågeställning och belysa den individuella aktörens erfarenheter av fenomenet har en kvalitativ forskningsmetod använts. En semistrukturerad intervjuguide utformades utifrån frågeställningen och applicerades vid intervjutillfällena. I studien deltog fyra personer varav två var dansare och två teaterskådespelare. Frågeställningen löd; Hur upplever scenkonstnärligt yrkesverksamma restriktionerna beträffande publikbegränsning i sitt framträdande? Den insamlande data analyserades med tematisk analys och fyra teman fastställdes. Följaktligen; Publikens fysiska närvaro ger energi, att få tillbaka av publiken, andra vägar till prestation och det digitala rummet vidgas. Studiens resultat indikerar att en uteblivande publik haft en upplevd effekt på aktörens energi, nervositet, adrenalin och motivation. Vidare förefaller den direkta responsen av en närvarande publik kunna kopplas till yttre belöningar och motivationsfaktorer. Resultatet talade också för en ökad användning av digitala hjälpmedel i och med Covid-19 då fysiska träffar inte varit möjligt.
