Allt fler journalister världen över använder sig av mikrobloggen Twitter i sin yrkesutövning. Studier har visat att det handlar om allt från att hålla sig uppdaterad på nyhetsläget till att live-rapportera. Gruppen miljöjournalister valdes ut till den här studien vars syfte är att ta reda på mer om hur journalister använder Twitter och hur det påverkar deras arbete och inflöde. Miljöjournalister utmärker sig genom att de figurerar på ett brett och åsiktsspäckat fält där Twitter kan tänkas fylla en speciellt viktig funktion som plattform för kontakt med många olika aktörer. Fem miljöjournalister djupintervjuades för att få svar på frågorna.

I en tid då tidningsbranschen står inför en omfattande strukturomvandling, är jakten igång att hitta komplement och substitut till gamla intäktskällor. Som ett led av detta har intresset väckts för att använda crowdfunding för att finansiera nyhetsjournalistik. Crowdfunding är en finansieringsform där privatpersoner och organisationer kan ansöka om ekonomiskt stöd från ett större antal finansiärer. Frågan är dock om det finns en potentiell marknad för crowdfunding-finansierad journalistik i Sverige. Den här rapporten ämnar kartlägga den svenska befolkningens kännedom om, och deras inställning till, att finansiera journalistik med crowdfunding. Detta görs genom en enkätundersökning som syftar till att svara på följande frågor: Vilken inställning har den svenska befolkningen till crowdfunding som en finansieringsform för granskande journalistik? Vilka förutsättningar krävs för att finansieringsformen ska accepteras av svenska nyhetskonsumenter? Vilka hinder upplever svenskarna till att betala för granskande journalistik med crowdfunding? Resultatet visade att kännedomen om crowdfunding är låg och slutsatsen är att marknaden för crowdfunding är omogen i Sverige.

 The theme of this essay arises from problematic pictures which travel Journalism can bring about foreign countries, and in this specific case Mexico. These pictures can be problematic in the way that they can carry colonial elements and form colonial discourses. The main purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the Swedish travel magazines, Vagabond, RES and Allt om resor, and how they portray places and people in the written texts and photographs. This was done with a postcolonial and discourse theoretical framework, whereas empowerment of certain pictures can lead to formation of discourses, myths and stereotypes about places and people in Mexico.
