Krigsfaran tillspetsad : En kvalitativ och komparativ undersökning utav två dagstidningars rapportering utav Skotten i Sarajevo och Julikrisen / Threat of War Heightened : A Qualitative and Comparative Study on the Reporting on the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the July Crisis by Two Swedish newspapers

This essay has, through the use of a comparative and qualitative method, set out to compare two Swedish newspapers; Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) and Dagens Nyheter (DN) and to discover if there were any significant differences between the way they reported on the assassination of Arch-duke Frans Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 as well as the subsequent July crisis and the start of World War I. It looks at what may have caused these differences as well as if the papers took a stance for or against any of the belligerent countries. The results of this study show that while there are minor differences, mostly in the editorial parts of the paper and the choice of smaller stories, most of the reporting tends to be very similar and contains the same major stories and events. The papers also both tend to view Serbia negatively and Germany and England positively. The few differences in opinion appears to be the cause of the paper’s different political positions and this is mostly expressed in the editorial section.
