"Stenkastarna i Araby" : En kvalitativ textanalys av mediegestaltningen av stenkastningshändelser i en svensk förort

Many neighbourhoods in Sweden are often portrayed in the media as violent and chaotic. Media has an eminent role in our daily lives as they further news stories to us and chooses which ones to write about and in what way to write about them. In this qualitative study, nine articles from Aftonbladet and Smålandsposten regarding some violent stonethrowing actions by teenagers were analyzed. The purpose was to see if there were any occurring stereotypes and notions about Araby and the youths that participated in the violent acts. Four framing theories were used; stereotyping frame, responsibility frame, conflict frame and human interest frame. Through these frames the conclusion was drawn that the articles subconsciously promoted negative stereotypes regarding Araby as a neighbourhood and the inhabitatns of Araby including the youth that participated during the riots. Stereotypes such as criminial, ghetto, unemployed were found.
