CSR är ett koncept som allt fler företag tar till sig, trots att det i grund och botten bygger på frivillighet. Ofta förklaras detta med att trycket från externa intressenter och den institutionella omgivningen i någon mån kräver att företag visar ansvar gentemot omvärlden. Många företag väljer idag att rapportera sitt arbete relaterat till CSR i en hållbarhetsredovisning. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) publicerar ramverk för dessa redovisningars utseende. Denna studie syftar till att med hjälp av hållbarhetsredovisningar i enlighet med GRI-ramverket göra en branschjämförelse med avseende på rapportering av CSR.

Politicians attract their voters by promising more jobs and investment in education, health and social care. Against this background, I wonder how the situation of artists will be affected by the followingquestions:? What political views on the artist's position in society appeared in propositions of Socialdemokraterna and Moderaterna?? In what way did these propositions influence the conditions of artists?? How have the artists of Värmland been affected by different (Socialdemokraterna and Moderaterna) cultural policies? With my investigation I find out more about the artists' conditions on a national level, but I also investigate the situation in Värmland. By examining policy proposals and reports, I learn more about the issues. I also conduct a survey and three in-depth interviews to obtain opinions from various sources.The respondents are the cultural departments of Värmland and representatives from cultural organizations.What is clear from my research is that politicians differ on some issues, especially those relating to commercialism and artist salaries.

Today's young people find themselves in an intense media traffic where many messages have a commercial nature. Some such messages are for example different types of advertising in various media and advertising often plays on the uncertainty that may be common in adoles-cence. New interactive media like blogs on the Internet has been established in recent years. Mixed types of media content, advertising with different messages, appear in blogs.
