Uppsatsen undersöker tre fiktiva medietexter, två serier och en film, samt 82 ledarporträtt i tidningen Veckans Affärer. Genom en hermeneutisk ansats tolkar vi medietexterna för att se om det finns en skillnad i hur män och kvinnor i ledarposition framställs. Vi analyserar såväl det som framställs i bilder som det sagda och skrivna i dessa medietexter. Uppsatsens teoretiska bas utgörs av relevanta teorier i ämnena företagsekonomi, medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap samt genusvetenskap. Vi använder oss av teorier för medieanalys i kombination med teorier kring ledarskap och genus för att skapa en så heltäckande teoretisk bas som vi anser krävs för att uppfylla vårt syfte.

Uppsatsen undersöker dilemman och strategier när minderåriga barn och unga ska få komma till tals i svenska nyhetsmedier, och på vilket sätt myndighetsgränsen ingår som en parameter när mediers ansvarighet (media accountability) ska tolkas på detta område. Frågorna diskuteras ur ett barnrättighetsperspektiv, och utgår från barndomssociologins tankar om barndom som en social konstruktion. En analys av de medieetiska kontrollinstansernas friande och fällande av anmälda publiceringar visar att ett flertal etiska övertramp begås i samband med att unga omtalas som brottsoffer eller anhöriga, medan etiska övertramp i samband med intervjuer är betydligt färre, och då framför allt när barn får personifiera sociala problem. Av en kvalitativ intervjustudie med utgivare inom olika typer av nyhetsmedia, varav flera branschdominerande, framgår att utgivare i stort sett helt vill undvika negativa reaktioner från vårdnadshavare. Försiktighetsprinciper och målgruppstänkande dominerar över mångfaldsprinciper.
