Previous research shows that, despite the strengthening impact that minority journalism hason the identity and language of minorities, the resources to produce such journalism aresmall in comparison to mainstream offices. This lack of resources has proven to have aneffect on journalism (Moring 2007; Moring & Godenhjelm 2010).Drawing upon the model of "Hierarchy of Influences" (Shoemaker & Reese 2014), thisthesis is an attempt to expand the understanding of the editorial processes that form thenews selection of a minority editorial office, thus adding new insights to the limitedunderstanding of minority journalism.Based on data generated from 11 interviews and a quantitative content analysis of 46 onlinearticles this research aims to conceptualise, how the reporting of the Swedish parliamentaryelections in 2022 produced by the Finnish speaking Public Service minority editorial office,Sveriges Radio Finska, was affected by the journalistic processes that took place inside theoffice.The findings based on the empirical data that was collected for this study show, that theminority journalists fall into a trap, where a journalistic product that has identity andlanguage strengthening qualities, is expected of them, but the resources to do so arelacking. This results in a working environment that can be experienced as stressful.
