How to Frame a Terrorist Swedish Newspapers' Reporting on Acts of Terror in the Nordic Countries During the 2010S How to Frame a Terrorist Swedish Newspapers' Reporting on Acts of Terror in the Nordic Countries during the 2010s Carl William Bravinger Peace and Conflict Studies Bachelor of Arts 12 Credits Spring 2020 Supervisor: Kristian Steiner Abstract During the 2010s what could be described as a new “terror-wave” went through Europe, the Nordic countries included, and for a while it was the primary concern for many young Europeans. At the same period, an influx of right-wing parties has gained popularity, both within the European Union and on a national level. This arose the curiosity to investigate how the news coverage on some of the terror attacks differ based on the terrorist’s background. To explore this the thesis conducts a quantitative content analysis on 863 news articles from the four largest newspapers in Sweden. Six acts of terror committed in any of the Nordic countries during the 2010s were ultimately compared and analysed by coding the articles abductively, basing the codes on Entman’s theory of framing. To raise the validity of the study, an external validity was assessed using a representative sample of the Swedish newspapers landscape, and through conducting the coding twice with some space in between resulting in similar conclusions. The analysis demonstrates that there are obvious differences in the framing of the attack, the terrorist and the proposed measures when comparing the coverage of the acts of terror.

during the 2010s, it at one point felt like there was a new terror attack every week in Europe. It often felt surreal to read the news and see the horrible pictures of otherwise popular tourist destinations, many of which I had visited, such as the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, the London Bridge, La Rambla in Barcelona, and Drottninggatan in my hometown Stockholm, to mention a few. According to a survey in 2017 of 20,000 young people across the globe, 83% answered that they are the most afraid of terrorism, more

  • Victim of the Welfare State
    Excessive public welfare is like taking the fishing-rod from a man who has satisfied his hunger, trade it for a fish, and then give the fish to a hungry man. VICTIM OF THE WELFARE STATE by Jack M. A. Olin © Jack M. A. Olin 2011. You may freely copy, print, distribute and transmit this work but not alter, transform or build upon it or charge recipients for copies. Jack Olin’a autobiography October 1998 Page 1 To the Swedish Government in commemoration of its deeds and omissions. Table of contents: 1. Social chauvinism in the Swedish welfare state: public lust for equality suppresses attempts to compensate physical disability by intellectual ability. 2. Autodidact within the system of education: it is logically impossible to teach somebody something that he already knows. 3. When membership of a students’ association is compulsory, why shall each university student have unlimited individual responsibility for the association’s debts? 4. If the law is construed to the letter, the civil servants’ temper and emotions rule the nation when instead it ought to be the legislator’s will that should do so. 5. Own research leads to cure of a serious disease: if I had accepted Swedish municipal medical care at the public charge, then I would have died a painful death. 6. A Swedish Cabinet decision: need for physical survival is not a sufficient excuse for a delayed doctor’s dissertation. The Cabinet does not recognise my sole right to interpret my own private goals. 7. A doctor plays God and alleges that his patient has no reason to exist: public hospital’s wilful extinction of the patient’s life helps authorities to collect a sharply higher death duty than what otherwise had been lawful.

Det var en ivrig och engagerad partile- dare som inte var tillfreds med president Ronald Reagans ja till neutronbomben och tal om möjligheterna att begränsa ett kärnvapenkrig. Olof Palme talade om människors oro för kärnvapenkapprustningen: Så småningom får man hoppas att insikten sprider sig och att människor som engagerar sig i fredsarbetet kan ändra på utvecklingen.
