News value is an essential part of which event media chooses to report about. Political events consider to bee news with potentional large value. Media has an enormous power and possibility to create news and construct there own reality and where the readers is given a false expression of what really happened. Today the media must show profit and that indirect affects how the media choose to describe political events. 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.

När sociala nätverk blir en del av människors vardag öppnar sig många möjligheter till interaktion med vänner, kollegor och bekanta på nätet. Medan sociala nätverk erbjuder en uppsättning av verktyg och forum för att dela med sig av vardagen kan de också utsätta användaren för risk gällande den personliga integriteten och säkerheten. Denna uppsats behandlar hur användare kan vidta försiktighetsåtgärder för att skydda sin personliga integritet och säkerhet på sociala nätverk. Med detta i åtanke genomfördes en kartläggning av tre sociala nätverk för att identifiera vilka risker som en användare kan utsättas för. Dessutom genomfördes en onlineundersökning där användare svarade på hur deras åsikter angående inställning, medvetenhet och beteende ter sig i givna situationer.

Barthelsson, Marie & Zetterman, My (2009). ?Man vill ju inte se helt knäpp ut liksom ? en kvalitativ studie av en grupp ungdomars relation till bilder på internet. (You Don't Want to Look All Crazy ? a Qualitative Study of a Group of Young People and Their Relations to Pictures on the Internet).

The aim of this Master's thesis is to explore how the localisation and the design affect the conditions for a school-media centre. A school-media centre is in this study a place where the students seek, find and evaluate information, discuss and exchange ideas. An active place for generating knowledge. The method applied in this study is "Space Syntax Analysis", a quantitative method with visual representation of the results. In the theoretical framework, space is the voids between walls, doors and ceiling, between furniture and bookshelves.

For the last ten years Internet has become more popular and is now used by most Swedes every day.  Internet has made it possible for many people to access a great deal of information about news all day long. Internet has also made it possible for people to create their own news and comment on happenings as they are taking place. One way to do this is to start your own blog, which is a kind of diary where you can publish your own thoughts about politics and news.In Sweden the media is often referred to as the third governmental power since the media is examining the government and people in power positions and bringing the people as consumers of news closer to the government. There is a theory called agenda setting that says that the media is an actor that shapes the political issues discussed by the people and politicians.In this essay I have used the agenda setting theory and linked it together with the Medias references to blogs in their news. This I have done to see if the media might be influenced by blogs.

This paper is about our collective fascination for the social medium Instagram, and our lively discussions about why certain images may be more so-called "Liked" than others and why some individuals becomes more successfull on Instagram than others. Thanks to our own daily use of Instagram, the idea was born to study and look at how some individuals build their brand through this social medium. With social media new ways to construct and communicate images have appeared. Artists, celebrities and companies use media as a channel for communication and marketing. In our study, we focus on the use of Instagram for marketing purposes by Rachel Brathen, one of the worlds most well-known yogainstructors.

The main purpose of this essay is to investigate the legal position for employers concerning protection against what employees can express about one?s employer in social media.It may regard dissatisfaction concerning employment, tort or so-called whistleblowing. The spread through social media may be comprehensive and thus cause more damage to the employer.Employees within the public sector as well as in the private are protected by the liberty of speech, which is constitutional, even the protection of sources or the right to criticize can offer some protection. This gives the employees the possibility to widely express themselves in private social media as long as it can?t be classified as a violation, which per se is very rare.However, certain differences between the both sectors will be pointed out.There are still no constitutional rights regarding social media, but a grey area has emerged concerning the legal position.

We have studied the effects that blogs have on the society through interviews with influential bloggers, a news director and the founder of Sweden?s largest blogprovider.Existing theoretical work by other researchers have been used as a starting point to our thesis. Via a deductive method we then proceeded to test these existing models and viewpoints on the reality.Through our research we have concluded that blogs, if they co-operate, have an agenda-setting function, and that they can affect newspapers to write about certain topics.We have also discussed blogs role as media watch dogs. Gunilla Sax, news director, questions the blog world?s ability to fully cover all media, and to deliver a systematic and just review of the media.

Theory has concluded that consumers evaluate advertising not only based on what the advertiser's message aims to communicate, but also how the message is communicated. As the most popular activity on the world's largest social media channels is to upload and share photos, it has become crucial for advertisers to define strategies that maximize the reach of photo posts. Two observed variations of images used in posts are graphical images and digital photographs. The aim of this study is to investigate which of these two strategies that generate most positive impact on the sender and its brand. 230 users of the Chinese Facebook and Twitter counterpart, Sina Weibo, were exposed to manipulated Sina Weibo posts after which they answered a survey.

I min kandidatuppsats i sociologi undersökte jag hur Rågsveds nyöppnade poliskontor uppfattades av unga män som bodde och studerade i området. I mina resultat framgick det att flera av de intervjuade upplevde att media påverkade samhällets generella uppfattning av Rågsved och dess invånare på ett negativt sätt. Därför är syftet i denna magisteruppsats att undersöka den mediala diskursen kring Rågsved, och hur Rågsved framställs i media. Utifrån en socialkonstruktivistisk ansats studerades diskursers inverkan på samhällets bild av Rågsved. Materialet består av artiklar i tidningen Dagens Nyheter från år 2002 och 2009 för att möjliggöra en jämförelse och urskilja eventuella skillnader och/eller likheter mellan två tidsperioder.

Syftet med studien är att lyfta fram sociala kompetenser som förskollärare vill ha hos förskolebarn, till exempel att barn ska ta hänsyn till varandra och visa empati samt kunna vänta på sin tur och vilken roll förskolan har i barns sociala utveckling. Dessutom kommer förskollärarna att berätta om arbetssätt för att främja barns sociala kompetens. I bakgrundkapitlet kommer olika beskrivningar om vad social kompetens är enligt olika forskare, lekens betydelse för att utveckla den sociala kompetensen hos förskolebarn och sambandet mellan språkutveckling och social kompetens hos förskolebarn. Metoden består av lågstrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med förskollärare. I resultatet syns förskollärarnas resonemang kring socialkompetens och deras arbetssätt med barnen i förskolan.

This thesis has its focuson media portrayal of a large political institution; the European Union. Articles from two nations daily newspapers have been analyzed in order to examine how the European Union is described and framed for their readers. The newspapers that was chosen for this study and from which the material was collected, were the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet the American newspaper The New York Times. The material was taken from three periods of time, and by this the results did not only serve a presentiment on how the media reports about the subject, but also an idea over the media?s coverage character over time.

Det senaste året har jag arbeta med analys av digital mediehantering, digital media som ett informationsverktyg samt tekniken bakom det. ?Hur kan man göra saker mer effektivt?, ?är webb-tv något för Försvarsmakten att använda sig av i syfte att göra sitt informationsflöde mer effektivt?, både internt och mot allmänheten. Föreliggande arbete tar upp tekniken bakom dessa områden, jag försöker även förklara hur relativt enkelt det kan vara att integrera dem i en existerande organisation utan att göra dyra omorganisationer. Jag har även inventerat AMF och FM media på deras utrustning, teknik och gjort en lista på vad som är användbart och på vad som bör tas bort inför en omstrukturering. Vidare föreslår jag var en viss utrustning bör lämpligast placeras för att göra mest nytta. Slutligen handlar detta arbete om att skapa en medvetenhet om digital media, och visa exempel på vad man kan göra med denna teknik i en organisation som Försvarsmakten och AMF..
