This BA Thesis in Journalism is a quantitative analysis of the coverage of wolves in Swedish printed media. Namely four daily newspapers, two national and two local. The two national newspapers are Aftonbladet which is a leading tabloid newspaper with national coverage and Svenska Dagbladet which is one of the two major newspapers with national coverage, as well as coverage of the greater Stockholm region. The two local newspapers are Falu Kuriren, which is located in Falun and mainly cover the province of Dalarna and Nya Wermlands-tidningen which is located in Karlstad and mainly cover the province of Värmland. These are provinces which have a large wolf population.As the work progressed we found that the newspapers have handled the coverage of the wolf in, what we believe, a good way. The use of powerful and strong words, such as “mayhem” etcetera, was low in most cases. Aftonbladet was the newspaper that had the highest percentage, in the amount of these words in relation to the amount of articles, with over 100 %.We also found that the pictures the newspapers used were mostly pictures of the people cited in the article and in when they used pictures of wolves they mainly used pictures which are to be considered as neutral. / Den här kandidatuppsatsen i journalistik är en kvantitativ analys av rapporteringen om vargar i svensk press. Nämligen fyra tidningar som ges ut dagligen, två nationella och två lokala. De två nationella tidningarna är Aftonbladet och Svenska Dagbladet, de två lokala tidningarna är Falu Kuriren och Nya Wermlands-tidningen. Under arbetets gång har vi kunnat konstatera att de fyra tidningarna har hanterat rapportering kring vargar på ett bra sätt. Användadet av värdeord, till exempel "härjar" etcetera, var lågt i de flesta fallen. Aftonbladet var den tidning där värdeord förekom oftast, procetuellt sätt fanns det minst ett värdeord per artikel. Vi kunde också konstatera att bilderna som användes i sammanhang med artiklarna till mestadels var bilder av människor som citerades i artikeln. I de fallen där det användes bilder av vargar var det bilder som vi anser vara neutrala.
