Nyheter i förändning : En explorativ studie av nyhetsartikeln på nät och papper i svensk dagspress / The transformation of news : An exploratory study of digital and analog news in the Swedish daily press

Title: The transformation of news - an exploratory study of digital and analog news in the Swedish daily press. Author: Annika Arnell and Sofia Amanuel Tutor: Lowe Hedman Purpose: This explorative thesis attempts to study if new ways of news production and distribution created by recent digitalization processes and technical development has different impacts and effects when the same news events is published in the same daily newspaper in a digital as compared to an analog platform. Method/Material: The method used is an explorative qualitative content analysis. The articles are divided into three levels: main news, middle-sized news and notes. The material consists of 40 news articles from two Swedish daily newspapers, with a divide of 20 news articles per newspaper. Main results: This study demonstrates that there are differences in how a news article is formed in a digital as compared to an analog platform. The differences show that main news events are presented in the exact same way on both platforms. The smaller notes show vast differences in all categories and are often fuller on the digital platform, leaving information such as context and previous events out in the printed newspaper. The middle-sized news shows both similarities and differences. But the results are to varying to make any conclusive statement.
