On the first of October 2012 the media reported that the women in the Ikea cataloguehad been airbrushed in the Saudi edition. Initially the blame was put on either theSaudi government the Islamic culture or the Saudi franchise. In the end it wasrevealed that the Swedish company Inter Ikea Systems had the full responsibility forIkeas actions and therefore was the culprit behind the airbrushing. On whoseinitiative or why the airbrushing was done the media never found out. These areanswers only Ikea has, although they remain unresponsive to these questionsthroughout the News portrayal.This study methodology uses a qualitative content analysis as framework to furtherinvestigate the News media with support of theoretical perspectives such as mediatheory, power relations and cultural differences.

The articles are divided into three levels: main News, middle-sized News and notes. The material consists of 40 News articles from two Swedish daily Newspapers, with a divide of 20 News articles per Newspaper.Main results: This study demonstrates that there are differences in how a News article is formed in a digital as compared to an analog platform.

This bachelor thesis examines and discusses the question: "How can graphics for Newscasts be adapted to follow technological developments in various media and increase its informative quality?" The work was performed on Swedish Television's own graphic department, SVT design in order to examine how News graphics need to be developed to follow the technological changes in media. The production resulted in a News graphics concept divided into three parts. Two of the sections show examples of how graphics can be adapted according to platform and the third section shows examples of News graphics that are produced at SVT Design by me. The bachelor thesis focuses on the development of technology in the media and examines areas such as interactive solutions, News graphics and the traditional television media..

Newspapers have undergone big changes with the progress of Internet and the Newspapers establishment on the Internet. This adjustment to the Internet has resulted in differences between the content in Newspapers and Web News sites. A quantitative content analysis and questions to Web authorities have been used in this study to describe what these differences are. During three days, three different Newspapers were analysed and the conclusion was that many of the articles that were published in the Newspapers also could be found in the Newspapers Web versions. At the same time a lot of the articles on the Web News sites were not published in the Newspapers.

The purpose of this study was to examine in which extent the comments about News inthe comment fields, on Swedish News sites Facebook pages were deliberative.To fulfill this purpose we used a quantitative content analysis as a method to interpretthe data that we collected about 2203 reader comments from three News sites Facebookpages. Ju?rgen Habermas theory about deliberative democracy together with theoriesabout public space and Web 2.0 were the theories we based our study on. To determinethat a comment was deliberative it had to contain an argument and be written withtolerance and respect. Our result showed that most comments lacked either one or bothof these criteria?s and therefore weren?t deliberative.

Title: Journalism 2.0: About the journalist's perspective on citizen participation and its influenceon the News content.Purpose: The aim with this study was to examine whether, and if so how, professional journalists experience that the production of News has changed as the media development has progressed and the citizens opportunities for active participation in this process has potentially expanded.Research questions:Does professional journalists experience that the opportunities for citizen participation in the News making-process has changed with the spread and accessibility of new media- if so, in what ways?Wheatear professional journalists experience that the relationship between themselves and their News sources has changes with the spread and accessibility of new media?What consequences can an empowerment from citizens have on the production of News and on the professional role of the journalist?Theory: This essay is based on theories about convergence, gatekeeping, agenda building, participatory journalism, News sources and the journalistic profession.Method: The survey is based on ten qualitative interviews with ten professional journalists, eight reporters and two web editors from the Newspapers NWT and VF.Results: The results of this survey shows that the citizens? opportunities in influencing the production of News has partly changed. The journalists do not experience that citizen participation affects their professional role.

The gatekeeping process is protecting the decision-making role of the journalist, which restrains citizen participation.

News value is an essential part of which event media chooses to report about. Political events consider to bee News with potentional large value.

In the Kenya case is it therefore possible to draw the conclusion that the two News paper has different construction of the political event in Kenya.

This study is based on the feminist belief in the importance of a reorganization of the existing gender hierarchy, where women have less power than men. Since News media reflect as well as contribute to create the reality we live in has the purpose with this study been to shed some light on how the gender structure is expressed in Sweden?s most popular television News program. I chose to examine one broadcast per day from the Public Service SVT News program Rapport during January 2010 using quantitative content analysis and the result was as follows:65 % of the News programs was presented by a woman News anchor 36 % of the News reports was carried through by a women journalist 31 % of the interviews contained a female participant The representation of female participants in interviews did not depend onif the journalist was a woman or a manThe representation of female participants in interviews did not depend on if the report was from Sweden or abroadWomen were more often than men interviewed in the role as nursing staff, development aid worker, teacher or principal, parent of a son, retired and sick or sick leaveOnly men were interviewed in the role as rescue worker, custom staff, member of the armed forces, house owner and tourist..
