Den gode & den onde : En kvantitativ innehållsanalys och kritisk diskursanalys av Dagens Nyheters och New York Times rapportering av konflikten i Libyen 2011 / The good & the bad : A quantitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis of Dagens Nyheter and New York Times reporting on the conflict in Libya 2011.

Description

This essay examines how the conflict in Libya in 2011 was reported by the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter and the American newspaper The New York Times. The purpose is to examine how the conflict is portrayed and what similarities and differences that exist between the two newspapers. We have used a quantitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis to get our results. In conclusion, both newspapers polarize the conflict to a large extent, resulting in a one-sided and biased account. However The New York Times is more objective and neutral in its portrayal of the conflict.
