Our thesis focus on how retirees perceive Tv4s news casts of economy news where we focused on five different aspects: What is the relationship between the news cast and the viewer and how does the viewer express their understanding of the news cast and the way it is constructed? What are the viewers attitude towards the news content and how do they find the news cast useful for them personally?We choosed retirees as our target group due to their vulnerable economic position in today?s society and TV as an important medium for them due to the digital divide. The study was performed with twelve qualitative interviews and one group interview where six retirees took part.We discovered a big interest for economic news in the target group. The majority had a sympathetic view of the news cast they saw but they also expressed skepticism toward the economy segment and/or news castings. The majority expressed a lack of trust for the journalists and the experts brought in to share observations and make announcements, and the financial business overall.

Researchers points out that social media has become a powerful venue to spread news, both for the news business and the users. Although the news diffusion has become a phenomenon to be reckoned with, we have found no research in Sweden about what motivate users of social media to share news.This thesis work therefore investigates news sharing on the social network Facebook by examining user motives in the light of the media theory uses and gratifications. A web survey was conducted and distributed to students at a Swedish university. The result showed that expression was the strongest motive to share news on Facebook, and the item that was highly valued by the students was to give other valuable information. The result also showed that other motives for sharing news was socialization, information, status and entertainment. .

Nyheterna i TV presenterar viktig information om händelser och samhällssystem, vilket skapar förutsättningar för vår uppfattning av omvärlden och våra möjligheter till ställningstaganden i samhällsfrågor. Därmed är det viktigt att informationen i nyheterna är tillförlitlig. Med det stora utbud av kanaler som finns, är det viktigt att alla sändningar uppfattas trovärdiga för att programmen ska behålla sina tittare.Elever och bildlärare ska enligt kursplanen för Bild i grundskolan inneha kunskaper i hur bilder skapar mening och betydelser. Undersökningens syfte är att synliggöra hur trovärdigheten gestaltas i nyhetsprogrammen. Genom att studera nyhetsprogram med särskild fokus på trovärdigheten, ger undersökningen kunskaper i hur bilder och tecken inverkar på mottagaren.

Uppsatsen är en mångfaldsundersökning av Sveriges Televisions (SVT) nyhetsprogram Rapport och är genomförd som en fallstudie under våren 2012. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka som får komma till tals i nyheterna och utifrån vilket perspektiv: i avseendet representationen av kvinnor, män och personer med minoritetsbakgrund. Därtill har studiens syfte varit att undersöka vilka faktorer i de redaktionella strukturerna och journalistiska villkoren på SVT Riksnyheternas redaktion som kan bidra till att påverka nyhetsinnehållet ur ett mångfaldsperspektiv.En av studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter är att medierna har en sammanhangsskapande funktion och att en rådande maktstruktur reproduceras genom tillskrivandet av en marginaliserande och generaliserande roll till minoriteter. Som Sveriges största nyhetsprogram är det intressant vilken verklighet som SVT Rapport förmedlar i sitt nyhetsinnehåll. Därtill har mångfald på SVT varit ett intressant undersökningsområde då det som public serviceföretag har ett uppdrag att tillhandahålla ett utbud som präglas av mångfald och svarar mot demokratiska behov.I studien kombineras en kvantitativ undersökning, som innebar kodning av Rapports 19.30-sändning i tre sammanhängande veckor och en kvalitativ undersökning, som innefattar observationsstudie på SVT Riksnyheter under två arbetsveckor samt 12 intervjuer med redaktionsmedarbetare.Resultatet visar att Rapport uppnår en relativt jämn könsfördelning i nyhetsinnehållet i avseendet presentationen av kvinnor och män, men att nyhetsinnehållet är könsmärkt och att etniska och kulturella minoriteter tilldelas en undanskymd roll.

The media industry, and especially the news, in Sweden is living in a dark world that seems to get even darker by the minute. According to Nordicom (2013) the number of readers in the ages 15-24 has dropped by 24 percentage points between 2007 and 2012. This is a big problem for the news industry, but also for democracy that require citizens that are well-read and know what is going on in society. Enda and Mitchel (2013) found that 65% of people in the USA have stopped reading a certain news source since it no longer fits their needs. Maybe with a better understanding for young adults needs this trend can change.This qualitative study was conducted using interviews with eight respondents to find out why young adults who study at a university consume news.

News graphics as a part of journalism is something that?s constantly developing along with the news. That?s what we believed when we started this paper including its study. And we still believe the same, now that we?re done.News graphics itself is fairly common in Swedish newspapers, it can be seen every day in almost any major newspaper and is perfect for describing an event like the pollution of the sea over many years or just simply point out on a map where a city is located.This is one of the reasons to why we wrote this; another reason is that there?s almost nothing else written on the subject in northern Europe.

The purpose of this thesis was to study the origin of the local news in local newspapers. Do the news originate mostly from the police, the municipality, from press releases or from the reporters own ideas? We also wanted to find out what kind of content predominated in texts with its origin in press releases respectively the reporters own ideas. Of course we also wanted to find out if there were any similarities or differences between the two studied newspapers.We used a type of constructed week, but with non random selection instead of random. We chose one of each weekday the newspapers were published and studied the news covered in the papers that specific day.

Jag har gjort en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av inslag i SVT:s Rapport och TV4:s Nyheterna under tre perioder. Undersökningen fokuserade på hur pass snuttifierade, trivialiserade och dramatiserade nyhetsinslagen är. Syftet var att se på utvecklingen under tjugo års tid sedan tv-monopolet avskaffades och en kommersiell tv-kanal infördes och utgångspunkten för undersökningen var Kent Asps tidigare forskning som anser att dessa tre begrepp, inklusive begreppet personifiering, är utmärkande för kommersialiserad tv.De tv-nyheter som har ingått i min undersökning är Rapports och TV4-nyheternas sändningar från första veckan i december 1990, 2000 och 2010. De olika delarna som analyserades var längden på inslag, längden på soundbites, längden på bildbitar, vilka personer som intervjuas, vilka ämnesområden som sändningarna rapporterar om, om rapporteringen handlar om brott och om den tar upp dramatiska händelser.Resultaten visar att det skett en utveckling mot en viss form av kommersialisering inom tv-nyheterna, men att den inte skiljer de olika nyhetsprogrammen åt så mycket som teorierna om kommersialisering tycks tro.Min slutsats var att även om båda nyhetsprogrammen har blivit mer kommersiella enligt Asps definitioner, betyder det inte att det journalistiska innehållet har blivit lidande. Störst skillnader visade snuttifiering och trivialisering.

Vi har gjort en kvantitativ undersökning som visar hur experter används i tv-nyheterna. Hur presenteras experterna, var kommer de ifrån och vilka representerar de? Vi har även undersökt hur läng tid experten får prata och om programmens användning av experter skiljer sig åt beroende på nyhetens ämne. Utgångspunkten har varit hur mycket information man som tittare får om experterna, utan att veta något om deras egentliga kunskapsinnehav eller person. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken sorts personer som medierna konstruerar till experter. Programmen vi har undersökt är Rapport, Aktuellt och Tv4-nyheternas huvudsändningar.

Our digital society encompasses nowadays different channels, which includes social media where many users consider it as a platform where they can fetch news or exchange news and information. This leads to a large spread of news exchange in a very fast speed, which involves the global users within social media to be a part of this social interaction. This study is focused on how Twitter affects the usage of the user?s news consumption. By reaching out to our specific target audience, which includes Twitter users in Sweden, we made a web based survey with a content of relevant questions.
