The aim of this study was to understand how the professional in social work handles the media scrutiny. When the media writes about social services there is seldom anything positive written about it, many social services organizations are instead heavily criticized and scrutinized by the media. When social services organizations are scrutinized by the media there is a crisis at work, and therefore should be handled as a crisis. Therefore, we describe how a crisis management might look like in an organization. The study is qualitative therefore we have interviewed four municipalities in Sweden that have been exposed by the media at a national level.

The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent  young adults use media to create the image of themselves. The questions we wanted to answer was as follows: what does the media use of young adults look like compared to their attitudes towards media content; what awareness do they have of other young adults attitudes concerning media content; and finally, how do these attitudes affect their own media use?Media consumption is a great part of  the daily lives of young adults living in Sweden: the national  average media consumption is seven hours a day, for 15-24 year olds. This provides a new way for young adults to express their identity - by showing their use of different media content, they can change other's perception of themselves.The method we used in our study was a combination between a quantitative and a qualitative method. We first made a survey in three classes with senior year high school-students, in a Swedish school.

Feministiskt initiativ är ett nytt parti som liksom mycket annat har skildrats av media. Syftet med den här kvalitativa studien är att studera vad media har berättat om Fi, utifrån en kritisk diskursanalys och socialkonstruktionistisk grund vill vi studera vilka diskurser som media, i vårt fall tidningsartiklar från de stora rikstidningarna, förmedlar om partiet Feministiskt initiativ. De tidningar som vi hämtat artiklar ifrån har varit Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Metro och Expressen och utgjort grund för empirin. Igenom vår analys hittar vi olika mönster och teman, däribland tre framstående diskurser: kampdiskursen, ledardiskursen samt jämställdhetsdiskursen. Dessa går in och fogas på olika sätt för Fis framträdande i medias texter.

The reconstruction of a central area in Stockholm named Slussen (The sluice) has frequently been portrayed and debated in media over the last few years, escalating around December 2011 when the major decision regarding Slussen was to be made by the city council. The area serves as a traffic node connecting the areas of Södermalm and Gamla Stan (Old town) together. The last major change of Slussen was completed in 1935, best described as a modernistic traffic and architectural piece of work. It is indisputably an area of importance for the city of Stockholm, its citizens and visitors. How has media reported the development of the New Slussen project?The analysis, and the conclusions drawn from it, will be based upon and performed with a quantitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis.

Sedan början på 80-talet går det att konstatera en tydlig förändring i den svenska kriminalpolitiken som kännetecknas av mer strafftänkande och mindre fokus på behandling och återanpassning av kriminella. Denna förändrade kriminalpolitik kännetecknas bl.a. av höjda straffskalor, allt fler utdömda livstidsdomar och en ökande fängelsebeläggning. Men det blir också allt mer tydligt i den politiska retoriken att kriminalpolitiken har förändrats; det talas allt mer om säkerhet, kontroll och att använda hårdare tag mot brottslingarna. I uppsatsen studeras, med diskursanalys som metod, denna förändrade kriminalpolitik utifrån retoriken i den politiska debatten.

Med bakgrund i forskning kring lärares professionalisering, om de styrdokument som studeras och ämnena som de gäller för genomförs en jämförande kritisk interdiskursiv analys av kursplaner (Lpf94 reviderade år 2000) och ämnesplaner (Gy11). Utifrån en design som nyttjar förändrings- och referenspunktsstrategierna används en metod baserad på kritisk diskursanalys och kritisk realistisk ontologi samt den begreppsapparat som därmed följer. Nio diskursiva strategier med underkategorier identifieras och kopplas till lärares professionalisering och deprofessionalisering. En professionaliserings- och en deprofessionaliseringsdiskurs identifieras även och dessas interdiskursiva relation beskrivs i termer av artikulering, produktion och reproduktion av skiljaktigheter och olikheter samt diskursiv kamp. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga slutsats är att deprofessionaliseringsdiskursen i form av deprofessionaliserande diskursiva strategier har större utrymme i de studerade ämnesplanerna än i de studerade kursplanerna och därmed att utrymmet för lärares professionalisering minskat i ämnesplanerna jämfört med i kursplanerna..
