Framing Mali Swedish Media Portrayal of an Armed Conflict
Framing Mali Swedish media portrayal of an armed conflict Niklas Norberg Department of Media Studies, Department of Journalism, Media and C ommunication Studies (JMK) Master’s Thesis in Journalism 30 EC TS Journalism Studies Master’s Programme in Journalism (120 EC TS) Spring term 2018 Supervisor: Magnus Danielson Examiner: C hristian C hristensen Framing Mali: Swedish media portrayal of an armed conflict Master's thesis Niklas Norberg VT18 Abstract Research has shown that news media reporting on foreign affairs tend to rely heavily on official sources (e.g. Schwalbe, 2013; Entman, 2004; Lawrence, 2009). This thesis analyse whether this is the case in Swedish news media reporting on the armed conflict in Mali, where Sweden has troops sanctioned by the UN. A more broader perspective is also analysed: How does the news media portray the armed conflict, and are there any differences between national daily newspapers (considered more “sober”) and national evening newspapers (considered more sensational)? An inductive framing analysis is used to identify frames not available in previous research. These frames, together with frames identified in other studies, are then used in a quantitative content analysis to measure to what extent the frames occur in the texts. Among the most important findings were that Swedish news media did in fact rely on Swedish official reporting to a large extent. The two evening newspapers, Aftonbladet and Expressen, used Swedish official sources in approximately 60% of their articles. The daily newspapers, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet, used Swedish official sources in about 35% of their articles. The main source used was also analyzed: This showed that Swedish official sources were the most common, in between 23% to 62% of the articles. -

Para uso da Embaixada da República Federativa do Brasil 4 Preface A vision of humanity and responsibility In the late 1930s, society as a whole − and public opinion − had not yet fully embraced the idea of and attention to human rights and was not consistently engaged in humanitarian assistance. With the exception of the endorsement by a relative few, as the International Red Cross (1863), Save the Children (1919), those concepts became widely accepted only decades later. The League of Nations, an outcome of the Versailles Treaty of 1919, already had failed in its mission to protect citizens and maintain peace and was replaced with the establishment of the United Nations only in 1945, which in turn took a long time to become effective in the field of International Humanitarian Law. But in those troubled times when States failed to guarantee the integrity of their civilian citizens, men and women of principle acted on their own to defend the dignity and survival of many people, and among those heroic individuals were two great diplomats, a Brazilian and a Swede, who are exemplars of two very important traits for the career: diplomacy requires both passion and perspective. -

Hur Objektiv Är Den Svenska Storstadspressen?
Hur objektiv är den svenska storstadspressen? - En granskning av 2014 års valrörelse Erik Elowsson Institutionen för mediestudier Examensarbete 15 hp Vårterminen 2015 Medie- och Kommunikationsvetenskap Handledare: Göran Leth Examinator: Anja Hirdman Sammanfattning I denna uppsats används kvantitativ innehållsanalys för att pröva storstadspressens objektivitet gällande rapporteringen om valrörelsen 2014. Storstadspressen definieras som de fyra stockholmstidningarna: Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet. Syftet är att kartlägga hur dessa tidningar rapporterar om sammanhållningen inom de två politiska blocken, Alliansen och De rödgröna, vilka konkurrerar om att bilda regering efter valet. Objektivitet har operationaliserats som opartiskhet, vilket avser att medier balanserar uppmärksamheten och graden av positiv och negativ framställning mellan parterna i ett givet sammanhang. Resultaten indikerade att storstadspressens rapportering av valrörelsen, med avseende på sammanhållningen inom blocken, gynnade Alliansen mer än De rödgröna och att skillnaderna mellan tidningarna var betydande. För två av fyra tidningar kunde partiskhetsutlåtanden göras, där en bedöms som partisk och en som opartisk. Dagens Nyheters rapportering bedömdes som partisk, då Alliansens fick betydligt mer uppmärksamhet och nästan uteslutande positiv uppmärksamhet, samtidigt som De rödgröna fick avsevärt mindre utrymme och mestadels negativ uppmärksamhet. Svenska Dagbladet å andra sidan lyckades balansera sin rapportering mellan blocken, både i fråga -
Ship of Shame Gender and Nation in Narratives of the 1981 Soviet Submarine Crisis in Sweden
Ship of Shame Gender and Nation in Narratives of the 1981 Soviet Submarine Crisis in Sweden ✣ Cecilia Ase˚ On the evening of 27 October 1981, a Soviet submarine, U-137, ran aground and was stranded on a rock in a restricted military area near a naval base in Karlskrona, in the southeastern part of Sweden. The boat was discovered the next morning by a local fisherman, who alerted the authorities. Until 6 November, when the submarine was restored to a Soviet fleet waiting beyond the limits of Sweden’s territorial waters, it remained an object of marked military attention and intense diplomatic negotiations. Media coverage of the incident was extensive and made headline news in Sweden and around the world. From Sweden’s perspective, the submarine was a security threat and a flagrant breach of the country’s territorial sovereignty. After the delayed dis- covery of the boat, the Swedish military acted resolutely. Heavily armed troops filled the islands surrounding the submarine, numerous military vessels took positions nearby, and marine helicopters and air force planes circled the area. However, as the diplomatic negotiations became protracted, the sense of shock and disbelief diminished, and concern over national prestige and reputation became all the more rampant. A sense of danger returned with renewed force on the afternoon of 5 November, when Prime Minister Thorbjorn¨ Falldin¨ announced with restrained emotion at a press conference that the submarine carried nuclear weapons.1 This declaration was sensational news and made the violation of Swedish territory appear all the more serious. In the decade following the U-137 episode, the Swedish military was involved in numerous other submarine searches, evicting what were ostensibly foreign submarines from Swedish waters and dropping sink bombs. -

Curb your enthusiasm: on media communication of bioenergy and the role of the news media in technology diffusion Article published in Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature and Culture (2012)6 (4): 512-531. DOI: 10.1080/17524032.2012.705309 Curb your enthusiasm: on media communication of bioenergy and the role of the news media in technology diffusion Tomas Moe Skjølsvold There is widespread agreement that the mitigation of climate changes requires societies across the globe to speed up the diffusion of renewable energy technologies. This paper pursues an interest in the diffusion of one such technology: bioenergy. It does so through a study of how bioenergy is covered and communicated in the news media of Norway and Sweden, countries where the diffusion of this technology looks radically different. Mobilizing a domestication perspective, it finds that the news media in the two countries ascribe diverging meaning to the technology, offering audiences clearly varied images of what bioenergy “is”. In other words, the technology is domesticated in different ways, suggesting that media coverage plays a role in systems of innovation and diffusion. How this affects the public, however, is an under analysed element in the innovation and diffusion literature, and the paper calls for further investigation into this matter. Key words: domestication, media analysis, bioenergy, diffusion, Norway, Sweden Tomas Moe Skjølsvold is a Ph.D. candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Correspond to: Department of Interdiciplinary Studies of Culture, NTNU, 7491 Trondheim, Norway.

From AIDS to Assimilation: Representations of Male Homosexuality in Swedish Literature
From AIDS to Assimilation: Representations of Male Homosexuality in Swedish Literature Timothy Ryan Warburton A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams, Chair Ia Dübois Andrew Nestingen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Scandinavian Studies ©Copyright 2014 Timothy Ryan Warburton University of Washington Abstract From AIDS to Assimilation: Representations of Male Homosexuality in Swedish Literature Timothy Ryan Warburton Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams, Barbro Osher Endowed Professor of Swedish Studies Department of Scandinavian Studies This dissertation examines representations of male homosexuality in Swedish literature from 1968-2013. Since the initial visibility of homosexuality with the coming-out of Bengt Martin on Swedish television in 1968, dominant gay rights discourses in Sweden have been characterized by internal dissent over the “proper” image of male homosexuality. Rather than tracing is origins to the Stonewall Inn Riots of 1969, this dissertation focuses on the AIDS crisis as a crucial and pivotal turning point in the history of homosexuality, and as playing an integral role in the shaping of contemporary discourses on male homosexuality. The project expands the history of homosexuality in Sweden beyond legislative milestones, and analyzes key sociopolitical moments in Swedish history in order to locate the literary representations into a broader context. This study is organized into four chapters that examine the literary representations of male homosexuality. The first two chapters of this study offer analyzes of the literary history as iii well as the political and legal discourses through which ideas about homosexuality were circulated. -
City in Fear”: Media Representations of Single Repeat Perpetrators and Gendered and Racialized Fear of Violence in Public Space
“City in Fear”: Media Representations of Single Repeat Perpetrators and Gendered and Racialized Fear of Violence in Public Space Linda Sandberg Umeå Centre for Gender Studies Umeå University [email protected] Abstract In Sweden, several cases of single repeat perpetrators in public spaces have raised public concern. These cases all represent situations in which one individual perpetrator affects a larger group of people in a specific time and place. By analysing journalistic reporting of four cities/towns described as “in fear” based on the acts of three separate serial rapists/sexual offenders and one shooter, I intersectionally examine responses and reactions to such specific threat to be able to contribute to a better understanding of how fear of violence affects urban geographical imaginations. These four cases in Sweden (The Haga Man, the Örebro Man, the Hagfors Man, and the Malmö Shooter) involve a consideration of how one specific individual influences narratives of fear and crime as a generalized pattern of gendered and racialized fear of violence in public space. The analysis revealed two different but interdependent stories, one based upon the concern to keep women “safe,” and the other dependent upon racist threats and hate crimes. Published with Creative Commons licence: Attribution–Noncommercial–No Derivatives 520 “City in Fear” Keywords Fear; single repeat perpetrators; gendered violence; racist threats; public space; Sweden Introduction It means everything to Umeå that the Haga Man has been arrested. Not just the obvious facts that women can feel safe again and the victims can obtain redress through the Haga Man’s being behind bars. -
