Studiens huvudsakliga frågeställning är hur dagens modejournalistik förhåller sig till Journalistförbundets spelregler för press- och yrkesetik.En kvalitativ innehållsanalys har genomförts på 12 nummer av de tre modetidningarna Damernas Värld, ELLE och Femina från år 2010. Samt alla modeartiklar från dagstidningarna Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet från 2010. För att se en utveckling av modejournalistiken har vi i samband med litteratur som redogör för 1900-talets kvinnotidningar, gått igenom kvinnotidningarna Idun och Husmodern från år 1925 för att få ett historiskt perspektiv för modejournalistikens start. Vi har också gjort ett nedslag år 1988 där vi har granskat de tre modetidningarna Damernas Värld, ELLE och Femina för att få en överblick av modejournalistiken det året. För vår överblick av 1988 års tidningar valde vi 12 nummer av de valda modetidningarna.

The purpose of this thesis is library work in exile, more specifically The Kurdish library in Stockholm (?Kurdiska biblioteket?).

The purpose of this essay, entitled ?Heja Sverige! Heia Norge?, was to study the difference in nationalistic tendencies between Swedish and Norwegian news coverage of the 2015 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun, Sweden, which took place between 18 February and 1 March 2015. It was the fourth time the event took place in Falun, previous games having been held in 1954, 1974 and 1993.I performed a critical discourse analysis of a total of twelve articles split over two race days ? one where Swedish athletes outperformed Norwegian athletes and vice versa. I did this order to study if the news coverage in each of the two countries? most promininent sports papers; Sportbladet in Sweden and VG Sport in Norway, was charaterized by a nationalistic discourse, as well as comparing the two to find similarities and differences between them.Having based my analysis on theories and previous research regarding media events, nationalism, national identities, ?us and them?, imagined communities et cetera, I came to the conclusion that a nationalistic discourse is, without a doubt, present in the news coverage ? something very unique for sports journalism as a genre.
