?Vi kan försvara oss mot ett angrepp mot ett begränsat mål. Vi talar om ungefär en vecka på egen hand.?Överbefälhavarens uttalande 31 december 2012 i intervjun med Svenska Dagbladet blev en stor nyhet, kanske den största inom försvarsområdet på senare år. Uppsatsen utreder vad det är som styr att ett uttalande likt detta blir uppmärksammat av media och hos allmänheten, så kallad dagordningsmakt, samt vilka konsekvenser det kan få för Försvarsmakten.

This two years master?s thesis in Library and Information Science examines book reviews and articles aboutbooks and authorship in media directed to children between the ages of 8 and 14.

Surveys show that consumers tend to avoid traditional marketing channels, leading the practitioners to use earned media channels through public relations (PR). This has also led to the use of covert PR. To understand the use of this communications method, the purpose of this thesis is to study campaigns, which have gained transmission in social media, by investigating how practitioners of three different campaigns motivate the choice to use covert PR.The study is based on a hermeneutic methodology and has an abductive approach. It is carried out by semi-structured elite interviews with six contributors of three different campaigns, using covert PR. The primary data consists of the empery of the interviews, while the secondary data consists of a theoretical framework of excellence in public relations, the PR practice and viral messages.The result of the study indicates the point of view that covert PR has given the campaigns a wider reach.

An employee that informs on illegal or unethical behavior in the workplace is what has been called a whistleblower. Employees that have become whistleblowers have often faced tragic consequences, like threats from the organization, unemployment, bankruptcy and divorce. The purpose of this paper is, on the basis of different ethical perspectives to describe the justification of the whistleblowing phenomenon and apply this to the Swedish whistleblower Ingvar Bratt who ?blew the whistle? when he found out that Bofors AB, the company he worked for, were smuggling arms to the countries Dubai and Bahrein. The method that has been used in this paper is what Björn Badersten call a normative ?givet att?- analysis.

Utifrån den dödliga attacken som ägde rum mot tidskriften Charlie Hebdo i januari 2015 har en dokumentanalys av svenska mediers bevakning av händelsen genomförts. Utgångspunkten i arbetet är Cohens moralpanikbegrepp. Frågorna som ställdes var hur bevakningen av attentatet såg ut, om konceptet för moralpanik kan appliceras på den svenska mediebevakningen, samt vilken definition som ligger till grund för mediernas rubricering av dådet som en terrorattack. Resultaten visar att attentatet ägnades mycket utrymme i den tryckta pressen, dock med vissa interna skillnader i innehållet, samt att delar av moralpanikbegreppet går att applicera på mediebevakningen. Det framkom även att media inte följer lagstiftarens definition då dådet rubricerades som en terrorhandling..

Background: Our daily lives and personal interactions are increasingly featuring social media and social networks in particular. Topics regarding social media, its impact on society at large ? both on corporate as well as individual behavior ? has been the focus of many research papers. Personal use of social networks are regularly being mapped out by researchers aiming at clarifying concepts such as engagement, trust and interactivity, and mapped by companies seeking to maximize return on investment concerning their marketing efforts. The aim of our study is (i) to map how companies and/or organizations operating on the Swedish market use their company?s pages on the social media as a way of communicating with their followers and audience, as well as (ii) identifying whether ?Real-Time Marketing?, in our own definition, is used or not.Methods: The research methods used included both quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

Stock analysts have through the analyses they write a large impact on the expectations on the market and the direction of investors investments. This creates undesired fluctuations on the market that raises the level of uncertainty. The way that the analysts satisfy their need for information is connected to how their final analysis will be shaped. There is a large knowledge gap concerning the way that the analysts work and this gives unsatisfactory ways of communication. This thesis is set out to create a greater understanding of how optimal communication towards this target group should be brought out.

Should libraries first and foremost be a source of free informationwhere the citizens can find whatever information they want, or dothe librarians have a responsibility for what kind of works theypresent to people on their shelves? A wild debate broke out inSwedish media in September 2012, after the artistic leader ofKulturhuset in Stockholm; Behrang Miri decided to weed out allthe Tintin albums from the children´s library Tiotretton. Hewanted to start a debate on stereotypes in children´s fiction, andwhat damage they do to children who face them. The purpose ofthe thesis is to carry out a discourse analysis of this media debate,and to identify the different views that are expressed on thedemocratic mission of the libraries, what media they shouldpresent. The method and theory is based on the discourse theory ofErnesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe and their concepts are used toarrange the analysis around certain themes that build up twodifferent discourses; ?Freedom of information discourse? and the?Weeding out discourse?.The two main questions are: What views of the public librariesselection of works are expressed in the Tintin debate in Tiotretton,and how do the views relate to each other? What concepts arespecific for the debate, and what meanings do they get in thesedifferent views?In the concluding chapter I discuss which consequences theseopposing opinions can have for the future selection processes ofthe library..

During recent years, the labor market has changed. Social media currently plays a larger role within recruitment for both job seekers and employers, while company policies and routines addressing background checks become less strict. The result of these changes are higher demands upon social media users to censure their online image. This study focuses on LinkedIn, which is a website intended to provide users with tools for career development. The study is aimed at user interaction with LinkedIn and how this interaction can influence career development.

The purpose of this paper is to understand why education is a human right. I will look at works by the late Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator. Paulo Freire worked for many years on developing a pedagogy to promote humanity. His goal was to demonstrate that a literate person will ultimately live a better life because she will be free from oppression and domination.I chose to study Paulo Freire as a tool in proving why education is a human right because throughout his work he demonstrated the need for people to be literate in order for them to be considered ?truly human?.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur politiker använder sig av media för att legitimera sina förslag och ståndpunkter för medborgarna. Genom användning av diskursanalys som teori och metod beskrivs de diskurser som uppkommer i citat där politiker är refererade eller citerade. För att kunna uppnå syftet har införandet av den nya signalspaningslagen (FRA-lagen) under juni månad 2008 legat till grund för uppsatsens analysarbete. Granskningen har skett utifrån artiklar från fyra stora och medelstora svenska tidningar för att kunna analysera användningen av media och dess roll i det politiska systemets legitimitetsprocess.Vid analysen framträder sju kategorier och diskurser för hur politiker argumenterar för ett införande av en ny signalspaningslag. Kategorierna sträcker sig över tidningsgränserna och har i uppsatsen benämnts som ?överhängande fara?, ?ni har fel?, ?en stärkt integritet?, ?dags för beslut?, ?anpassning?, ?vi lyssnar? och ?det är färdigt nu?.Uppsatsen uppvisar en relativt komplex bild över medias roll i beslutsordningen och hur legitimeringen där igenom formas.

Bakgrund: Nästan hälften av alla dödsfall i Sverige beror på aterosklerotiska hjärt-kärlsjukdomar, där en riskfaktor är förhöjda blodfetter. I den vetenskapliga världen och media återfinns en diskussion om kostråd inom detta område. Hur det påverkar primärvårdsdietister och deras råd till patienter är intressant då de bör ge kostråd enligt vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet.Syfte: Att undersöka vilka kostråd gällande mättat fett och kolhydrater som primärvårdsdietister i dagsläget ger till patienter med förhöjda blodfetter samt om påverkan av media upplevs i detta sammanhang.Material och metod: Målgruppen var primärvårdsdietister och webbaserad enkätundersökning den tillämpade metoden.Resultat: Överlag ger primärvårdsdietisterna likartade råd till patienter. Generellt rekommenderas att minska intaget mättat fett och fiberfattiga kolhydratkällor och öka intaget fibrer. Hälften upplever att det inte finns skillnad mellan kokosfett och mättat fett från andra livsmedelskällor.
