The purpose of this study is to illustrate how the Swedish newspaper Sportbladet constructs their two leading pages in order to determine which are the most prioritized news and thereby reach an understanding regarding what is neglected. Framing studies, gender studies as well as studies of news values provides the theoretical underpinnings. The study is based on a quantitative content analysis and the empirical material is comprised of 728 articles. The aim is also to present a bigger picture of how the newspaper values its content and what kind of material is placed on the leading pages. The study found that football was the dominant sport followed by ice hockey and the primary focus was mens sports. In addition to this the sports mainly took place on Swedish soil with Swedish athletes involved.
