Titel: Produktplacering i Solsidan - hur företag resonerar kring sin planerade exponering.Författare: Anna Becker och Johanna Wållgren.Kurs: Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. Institutionen för journalistik,medier och kommunikation, Göteborgs universitet.Termin: Vårterminen 2014.Handledare: Britt Börjesson.Sidantal: 43 inklusive bilagor.Ord: 14 885.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur företagen som har produktplacerat i Solsidanupplever och resonerar kring produktplacering.Metod: Kvalitativa samtalsintervjuer.Material: Två samtalsintervjuer med försäljningschefen för Segway respektive Marketing Manager för Volvo Car Corporation.Huvudresultat: Det var svårare att få företag att prata om produktplacering än vi trodde i inledningsfasen av arbetet. Av 45 kontaktade företag var det endast två som var villiga att ställa upp på en intervju. Trots att resultatet av intervjuerna inte går att generalisera på grund av att det är för litet underlag för att få någon mättnad, är det ändå intressant att få en inblick i hur tvåföretag upplever och resonerar kring produktplacering. De två företagen hade olika motiv till att produktplacera - öka varumärkeskännedomen eller förbättra image - men båda var nöjda med resultatet av placeringen.

I denna uppsats undersöks dagstidningen Svenska Dagbladet under de dagar de olympiska spelen hålls vid fyra olika årtal för att studera medias bild av kvinnor som idrottar. Undersökningen tar sin början vid år 1912, därefter följer åren 1948 och 1968 för att sedan avslutas vid det senaste OS-tillfället år 2008. Vid de dagar tävlingarna hölls, som varierar i antal, har tidningarna som gavs ut de två första dagarna, de två dagarna i mitten och de två avslutande dagarna studerats och analyserats för att skapa en bild av tidningens attityd till idrottsutövande kvinnor. Några generella slutsatser från resultatet kan inte göras, däremot ges en inblick i hur attityden till kvinnor och idrott utvecklats under 94 år. Resultatet från denna uppsats kan användas för att förstå var de normer och attityder vi har idag grundar sig.
