This paper aims to broaden the discussion on how press freedom can be a powerful tool in the war on corruption. Previous studies have shown a significant relationship between more press freedom and less corruption, it also shows that the causal link runs from press freedom to corruption and not the other way around. There are quite a few studies on the impact of a free press on corruption and therefore there is a lot more to be published on this issue.This paper looks at press freedom as one of the most important parts of a democratic society and that it plays a vital role in reducing corruption as both an informant on key issues and also as a ?watchdog? on society. But press freedom cannot be seen as an ?easy fix? in a country or the international community's struggle to reduce corruption.

Den här studien handlar om hur textreklam kommer till uttryck i svenska tjejtidningar och hur textreklam har förändrats under ett decennium. Vi har analyserat 25 nummer av tjejtidningarna Veckorevyn och Solo från år 2002 och 2012. Totalt har 953 texter analyserats.Genom en kvantitativ innehållsanalys har vi undersökt hur mycket textreklam som finns i tjejtidningarna och genom en kvalitativ textanalys har vi analyserat på vilket sätt textreklamen kommer till uttryck och hur den har förändrats med utgångspunkt från Spelreglerna för press, radio och tv. För att få en djupare förståelse om textreklam har vi intervjuat textreklamexperten Håkan Lindhoff och Ulrica Widsell som är ordförande för Yrkesetiska nämnden och vice ordförande för Journalistförbundet.Resultatet visar att textreklam i dag inte går att mäta med hjälp av de riktlinjer som finns mot textreklam. Textreklamkommittén är avvecklad sedan 2005 och i dag är det upp till den ansvarige utgivaren att granska sin egen tidning.

Holy war against the aberration and the newspaper terrorismHeligt krig mot förvillelsen och tidningsterrorismen This paper explores Bernhard von Beskow?s (1796-1868) conservative critique of the, for the early 19th century, new dominating voice in public matters namely the liberal press. There are competing narratives about the emerging liberal press and its critics. On the one hand the conservative critics were seen as hopeless reactionaries which acted against freedom of the press, themselves stripped of positive ideals and/or handled with little interest as footnotes in the great story of the liberal victory over its opponents. On the other hand this story has been questioned and an alternative has been presented of how to understand the conservatives and their critique of the press.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how the Swedish daily press portraits librarians and the profession. I have used a discourse analytic study in my purpose to examine the image of librarians and the profession. I have analysed 34 articles between January 1, 2009 until January 1, 2010 from Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, which are the two daily newspapers with the largest circulation in Sweden. I have used three major questions to answer the aim of my study: In what context do librarians and the profession appear in the daily press?What qualities are librarians assigned in the daily press?What views and attitudes about librarians and the profession appear in the articles?My analysis resulted in three discourses; discourse about librarians? relation to literature, discourse about librarians and the labour market and discourse about librarians and information.
