ABSTRACT   Titel: Våldtäkt i Aftonbladet och Expressen: En idé- och ideologikritisk granskning Nivå: C Författare: Mimmi Hedlund och Matilda Gylleus Handledare: Mathias Sylwan Seminariebehandlas: Tisdagen den 3 juni, klockan 11.00-12.00, sal 31:524   Syfte: Sexualbrott är den typ av brott som anmäls i minst utsträckning i Sverige, samtidigt som vi har en bred definition av våldtäkt i den svenska lagen som ska ge stöd åt offren i anmälningsprocessen. Mediernas nyhetsrapportering spelar en viktig roll i detta genom vad de tar upp och sättet de gör det på. Mot denna bakgrund tycks det ligga en viss konflikt och det är den problematiken som vi vill undersöka genom att vända blicken mot kvällspressens framställning av våldtäkt.   Vår frågeställning är:   Hur framställs våldtäkt i kvällspressen?   Metod: Undersökningen baseras på en kvalitativ textanalys av tidningsartiklar från Aftonbladet och Expressen, med idé och ideologikritisk inriktning.   Resultat & slutsats: Offer och förövare framställs ofta på ett kategoriskt sätt som placerar dem i olika fack. Detta leder till stereotypiska framställningar som då ofta bekräftar läsarens bild av våldtäkt. Vilka personer som fick komma till tals i texterna var mer sällan offer än förövare, vilket kunde tysta ner offrets version av händelsen. Slutligen kunde vi se att kvällspressens framställning av våldtäkt lätt kan bidra till att påverka rädslan hos läsarna genom ingredienserna som lyfts fram.   Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Det finns goda möjligheter att se närmare på kvällspressens framställning av idrottsmän som våldtar. Det framkom under vår undersökning att dessa framställs på ett sympatiskt sätt som hyllar dem i sin professionella roll och dämpar brottet som de konfronteras med. Att jämföra resultatet från en sådan undersökning med vårt resultat skulle kunna vara mycket intressant och givande.   Uppsatsens bidrag: Vår undersöknings främsta bidrag är att synliggöra de processer som finns dolda i kvällspressens nyhetsrapportering. Vår förhoppning är att detta kan bidra till att lyfta den samhällspolitiska debatten kring lagförändringar kring våldtäkt.   Nyckelord: våldtäkt, kvällspress, nyhetsförmedling, framställning, ideologi

This qualitative study examines how Swedish evening press constructs protests against the COVID Certificate in France in their news articles. During the new coronavirus, various protests are taking place around the world. An example of a massive protest against the COVID Certificate is the major protests in France, that took place in July 2021. France had one of the largest protests against the COVID Certificate in the world. Tens of thousands of people protested across the country. In this study, 15 news articles are analysed about protests against the COVID Certificate in France from both Aftonbladet and Expressen, by using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), both as a theoretical perspective and method. Study even use framing theory, news values theory, and biopolitics as a theoretical perspective. Results of this study shows that the Swedish evening press constructs protests against the COVID Certificate in France in their news articles as violent, and demonstrators at these protests are portrayed primarily as dissatisfied, but sometimes also as low-educated, cuckoos, dangerous, and heroes. It is both elite people and demonstrators who got to speak in these news articles. Ministers, president, researchers, and police were allowed to speak more often than demonstrators, and they even got more space in quotes.

On the 14th of may 2020, the Swedish TV- personality and entrepreneur Paolo Roberto was captured by the police when he bought sex from a prostitute. The next day he went out on television and apologized to the people and described himself as a victim by blaming the purchase of sex on his self-harming behavior. This announcement became a scandal and the result was that all of the newspapers started to write about it. This case study’s purpose was to see how Paolo Roberto’s purchase of sex was framed, how the prostitute and also how prostituion was framed in two tabloid newspapers, Aftonbladet and Expressen, from a scandal perspective. This case study also studied if the newspapers describe the sexbuyers position or the prostitutes situation.  Framing analysis was the method that was used in the case study of 20 news articles, 10 from each newspaper.  The results of this study shows that the sexbuyer Paolo Roberto is framed as the “fired entrepreneur” and all of the focus was on his company that fired him and ended their cooperation with him. Another two frames included “Lack of personality” and “Loss of sexual norms”. In this frames actors and well known persons were interviewed and they talked about his punishment, that he didn`t understand the sexual norms, and his lack of personality. The prostitute was framed as a “victim” when she got mentioned in the newspaper, which wasn´t much. She also got a frame for “not mentioned at all” and another frame when she was mentioned she got “The women from one of Europe's poorest countries”. There was no other information about her, so the reader gets no more information about who she is more than a “poor woman” or just a “woman”. This left the reader to construct the prostituted woman by themself. The frame of prostituion was when it was mentioned, which wasn’t much, to “Fight prostitution” and means that all focus is to catch the sexbuyers. Another frame that was discovered was “Is there any prostituion?” because prostitution is not mentioned in the news articles. This was because Paolo Roberto’s sex purchase got all of the attention with his companys and other people´s opinions.
