How is Bangladesh represented in Swedish Newspapers?

Out of many, media is one of our important sources from where we know the world, we learn about society, about our surroundings, about the others. Regardless of time and space media is shaping our knowledge, changing the horizon of our imagination each and every moment.  This study is about representation. How a country as the other is represented in Swedish media landscape. I tried to know -How is Bangladesh represented in Swedish newspapers? I have collected reports about Bangladesh that was published in four main stream Swedish newspapers and conducted a quantitative content analysis through the lenses of Agenda setting, Priming and Framing theory from the post colonial perspective to know how Bangladesh is represented in Swedish newspapers. The results found in this study are more similar to the earlier studies conducted by researchers and further suggests that the framing of Bangladesh, ‘the others as a country’ in the foreign news in Swedish newspapers are dominated by pre-framed notions and images of the source; which is subjected to conduct further study in general or for any particular country.
