Myths, misinformation, and sensationalism. These are common enemies that directly inhibit the public understanding of science. In particular, the media is often responsible for mishandling or otherwise misrepresenting scientific information, historically and presently speaking. Many sources can combat the public understanding of science through pseudoscientific means. This includes but is not limited to religion, the media, politics, or just simple hearsay. For example, Young Earth creationism is deeply rooted in Christian theology, but the beliefs hold no scientific basis. Yet, almost half of Americans still believe in Young Earth creationism. Another such example is anti-vaccination campaigns due to fears of autism-spectrum related disorders. In this case, falsified claims were given illegitimate credibility through the media, and the claims are widely and erroneously contentious to this day. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between an individual's ability to dictate science from pseudoscience and their exposure to sensationalized media. Through means of surveying the university level population, relationships were drawn between how many pseudoscientific beliefs an individual may have versus how they interact with science and the media. The results of the survey showed a general lack of interest or care for science with more pseudoscientific beliefs, yet failed to draw a relationship between pseudoscientific beliefs and a sensationalized media.

Föreliggande studie granskar hur mordet på Kim Wall konstrueras i svenska podcasts. Mediebevakningen av fallet har kritiserats för att vara spekulativ och oetisk och det är inte bara relevant, utan av största vikt att utreda huruvida den nya medieformen podcast följer i gammelmedias fotspår. Specifikt studeras fem podcastavsnitt varav tre stycken är privatägda och två stycken är public service-ägda. Genom kritisk diskursanalys spåras hur offer och förövare konstrueras utifrån ett genus- samt medielogiskt perspektiv. Därutöver analyseras likheter och/eller skillnader i dessa konstruktioner i privatägda respektive public service-ägda podcasts. Resultatet visar att såväl offer-, förövare- och fallet som sådant konstrueras utifrån fem olika diskursiva teman. I det första temat nästintill glorifieras förövaren Peter Madsen. I det andra- respektive tredje temat reduceras Kim Wall till en samling kroppsdelar och när hennes liv och gärning väl presenteras sker det genom en ofördelaktig förbindelse till Madsen. I det fjärde temat sensationaliseras brottet genom olika, medvetna eller omedvetna, diskursiva grepp. Slutligen beskrivs vissa skeenden med någon form av ironi, sarkasm eller satir. / The present study reviews how the Kim Wall murder is constructed in Swedish podcasts. The media coverage of the case has been criticized for being speculative and unethical and it is not only relevant, but of the utmost importance to investigate whether the new media form podcast follows in the footsteps of traditional media. Specifically, five podcast episodes are studied, of which three are privately owned and two are public service-owned. Through critical discourse analysis, it is traced how victims and perpetrators are constructed from a gender and media logic perspective. In addition, similarities and / or differences in these constructions are analyzed in privately owned and public service-owned podcasts. The result shows that both the victim, the perpetrator and the case as such are constructed based on five different discursive themes. In the first theme, the perpetrator Peter Madsen is practically glorified. In the second- and third theme, Kim Wall is reduced to a pile of body parts and when her life and deed are presented, it is done through an unfavorable connection to Madsen. In the fourth theme, the crime is sensationalized by various, conscious or unconscious, discursive approaches. Lastly, some events are described with some form of irony, sarcasm or satire.

The information technology revolution has completely changed the world economy. This industry that has revolutionized many aspects of social life, created an incredible amount of jobs, and generated an enormous amount of wealth, has been growing exponentially fast since the beginning of this century. Billions of people all over the world tap into the various services and products that have sprung from this information technology revolution. While these products and services have undisputedly enabled incredible features that previous generations could only have dreamt of, it might be time to take a step back and analyze the various aspects of some of these products and services in terms of their societal value and business models. Many of the social media platforms that exist today promise a free access to content and information, and the world has grown so accustomed to this, that the dynamics behind this promise of free access are often overlooked. Data from users is being collected on social media platforms and sold to interested parties like advertisers, who in turn can create customized and targeted ads that will be displayed on these same social media platforms. This is the simple exchange that fuels the advertisement-based business models of many of these platforms. Awareness and understanding around the workings of this business model is growing, but it seems interesting to illustrate a better picture of what implications these business models fueled by data have on our society. Specifically, this research aimed at answering the question: What are the implications of the advertisement-based business model of YouTube in relation to the 2016 presidential elections of the United States? Through an extensive literature review, as well as a case study analysis, this research reported various implications of the business model of YouTube that were discussed both in light of their relevance to the specific political event mentioned in the research question, as well as in light of larger overarching institutions like democracy. / Informationsteknologirevolutionen har förändrat världsekonomin helt. Denna industri som har revolutionerat många aspekter av det sociala livet, skapat en otrolig mängd arbetstillfällen och genererat en enorm mängd rikedom har vuxit exponentiellt snabbt sedan början av detta århundrade. Miljarder människor över hela världen utnyttjar de olika tjänsterna och produkterna som härrör från denna informationsteknologirevolution. Även om dessa produkter och tjänster otvivelaktigt har möjliggjort otroliga funktioner som tidigare generationer bara kunde ha drömt om, kan det vara dags att ta ett steg tillbaka och analysera de olika aspekterna av vissa av dessa produkter och tjänster när det gäller deras samhällsvärde och affärsmodeller. Många av de sociala medieplattformarna som finns idag lovar en fri tillgång till innehåll och information, och världen har blivit så vana vid detta att dynamiken bakom detta löfte om fri tillgång ofta förbises. Data från användare samlas in på sociala medieplattformar och säljs till intresserade parter som annonsörer, som i sin tur kan skapa anpassade och riktade annonser som kommer att visas på samma sociala medieplattformar. Detta är det enkla utbytet som drivs av reklambaserade affärsmodeller för många av dessa plattformar. Medvetenhet och förståelse kring hur denna affärsmodell fungerar växer, men det verkar intressant att illustrera en bättre bild av vilka konsekvenser dessa affärsmodeller drivs av data har på vårt samhälle. Specifikt denna forskning syftar till att besvara frågan: Vilka är konsekvenserna av den annonsbaserade affärsmodellen för Youtube i samband med USA: s presidentval 2016? Genom en omfattande litteraturöversikt, såväl som en fallstudieanalys, rapporterade denna forskning olika implikationer av affärsmodellen på Youtube som diskuterades både mot bakgrund av deras relevans för den specifika politiska händelsen som nämns i forskningsfrågan, liksom i ljuset av större övergripande institutioner som demokrati.

La siguiente investigación se centra en el discurso utilizado por los medios de comunicación escrita del área deportiva en el Perú. Se utilizará como caso específico el diario Depor, el más joven en el mercado, pero con mayor cantidad de lectores a nivel nacional. El objeto a investigar serán las portadas y los elementos que la componen para así poder determinar si contienen dentro de su presentación herramientas discursivas sensacionalistas. El periodo de investigación recurrirá entre marzo y junio del 2018 meses donde la selección se preparó y jugó el mundial de Rusia 2018, competencia a la que no asistía hace 36 años. En el desarrollo veremos la relación entre la objetividad y el hinchaje, cómo el sentimiento nacionalista se ve afectado con el discurso periodístico, la utilización recurrente de personajes heroicos y la apelación sistemática del pasado. / The following research focuses on the discourse used by the sports section of the written media in Peru. Depor, the newest sports newspaper in the market, but with the largest number of readers nationwide, will be used as a specific case of study. The subject of investigation will be their covers and elements that compose it, in order to determine if they contain sensationalist discursive tools within their presentation. The period of investigation will focus between March and June of 2018, months where the Peruvian team prepared for and played the 2018 Russia World Cup, a competition they didn’t attend for 36 years. Through the development of this paper, we will see the relationship between objectivity and fandom, how the journalistic discourse is affected by the nationalist sentiment, the recurrent use of heroic characters and the systematic appeal of the past. / Tesis

Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a recepção da programação da TV aberta. A hipótese principal trata da aceitação de conteúdos que apelam para a exploração da violência, não mais pelo pressuposto básico do paradigma das gratificações, mas pela aquisição de um hábito, condicionado social e circunstancialmente, construído pelo simbolismo. Para tanto, a leitura da programação foi observada pela abordagem qualitativa, por meio de grupos focais e entrevistas focalizadas; realizado um levantamento quantitativo dos hábitos de consumo dos meios de comunicação e opinião sobre a programação, em especial programas com características sensacionalistas. Além disso, foi realizada análise do discurso de programas com as características do foco de estudo. O resultado da análise dos discursos dos emissores e receptores mostra-nos um cenário de uma sociedade mediática, dependente da televisão como fonte de informação; porém uma informação que é elaborada conforme o entorno social e cultural dessa sociedade. Para o receptor, o consumo é imediatista, não há espaço para reflexão. As notícias devem ser breves e objetivas. Os programas jornalísticos apenas retratam os acontecimentos da cidade, não são violentos em si. A violência fica mais caracterizada nos programas relacionados ao entretenimento, na medida em que desrespeitam o ser humano. Falta diversão na televisão. / Aiming to study reception of television programs, the main hypothesis of this work deals with the acceptance of TV contents that exploit violence not from the basic assumption of gratification, but because it becomes a habit, socially conditioned, based on symbolism. We verified that by qualitative approach, employing focus groups and focus interviews techniques. Besides, consumption TV habits and opinions about TV contents characterized by sensationalism were surveyed. To conclude the study, the findings using both approaches were cross-analyzed with the discourse of three programs selected as the worst on Brazilian TV. To study all the discourses, of receptors and programs, we employed the technique of Discourse Analysis. The result of the analysis shows us a society centered in the media, that depends on television for information, although such information is elaborated according to social and cultural environment. Consumption has to be quick, there is no time for reflection. News have to be short and objective. News programs only show city facts, not being violent themselves. Violence is best characterized in programs related to entertainment, as long as they do not respect the human being. There is a lack of entertainment on television.
