We also wanted to find out which of the three networks they use the most.We made a questionnaire which we sent out by e-mail to 400 Swedish journalists. 215 of them participated in our study.We analyzed the results of the responses from the questionnaire and discussed patterns and relations between them.The study establishes that the majority of the respondents believe that the networks are very useful and effective in their work.Our results show that out of the three social networks the journalists who participated in our study prefer to use blogs as sources in their line of work, as they are full of information from individuals and contain unique facts and stories.Alongside the results we discussed how social networks might be used in the future of journalism. Most of the respondents are aware of the possibility that they may need to increase the usage of them eventually, and that they will be an important part of the journalistic work process in the future. .

Vi ställs dagligen inför väldigt många val och beroende på vilka val vi väljer att göra kommer dessa till stor del att påverka hur vi lever vårt liv och även hur tillfreds vi kommer att vara med livet. Vi baserar många av våra val på känslomässiga förutsägelser som är våra antaganden om hur framtida händelser kommer att påverka oss känslomässigt. Våra känslomässiga förutsägelser är dessvärre ofta påverkade av olika bias som gör att vi missbedömer hur starkt och under hur lång tid vi kommer att reagera känslomässigt på kommande händelser, vilket i sin tur påverkar vilka val vi kommer att göra. Den här uppsatsen kommer att undersöka hur våra känslomässiga förutsägelser påverkar vårt subjektiva välbefinnande och även hur förståelse för detta skulle kunna användas i psykologisk coachning i form av interventioner för att hjälpa människor att göra fler val som leder till ett ökat subjektivt välbefinnande..

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur reportagejournalistik skiljer sig i olika publiceringskanaler. Huvudpunkt för undersökningen ligger i att studera lingvistiska skillnader och undersöka hur journalistiska texter dras mot olika fält beroende på publiceringskanal.Undersökningen består av en lingvistisk textanalys ur ett kritiskt diskursanalytiskt perspektiv. Denna analys har jag gjort med hjälp av två journalistiska verk där det ena är publicerat på Aftonbladets webb och det andra i pappersmagasinet Offside. De slutsatser som dras utifrån undersökningen bör ses som ett första närmande av att undersöka de skillnader som finns mellan reportage publicerade i olika merdier. Enligt slutsatserna i denna uppsats kan man se klara lingvistiska skillnader mellan texter publicerade på webben kontra pappersmedia.
