Den här uppsatsen presenterar en undersökning vars syfte är att se om det finns skillnader i språket och semiotiken, inom semiotiken studerar man t.ex. tecken, bilder och annat som kan vara betydelseskapande, i nyhetsartiklar publicerade i papperstidningar och på webben. Bakgrunden till denna undersökning är utbredningen av nyhetsläsare på webben och de minskade upplagorna av tryckta dagstidningar. Undersökningen bygger på jämförelse och analys av en och samma nyhet i tidningarna Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet och Aftonbladet och deras respektive webbsidor. Undersökningen visar att artiklar på webben bland annat är längre.

The print- and mailroom at Gefle Dagblad (GD-tyck) is handling an increasing amount of commercial jobsalong with the newspaper production. Investments have above all been done in the mailroom to be able tooffer commercial costumers a higher degree of finishing and there are plans to expand further in the commercialmarket. GD-tryck is of the opinion that they need to secure the quality of their production to be ableto do such expansion, which is the reason why a quality system of some kind may be appropriate. Howeverthere are no plans to certify such a quality system according to ISO 9001:2000.In this exam report the present methods of working have been analysed from a quality perspective.Suggestions on how GD-tryck should be working with quality development is presented in the fields whereshortage of quality has been discovered. The suggestions taken together do not form a quality system butcan be looked at as ideas of approach to quality fields that have to be developed if a working quality systemshall be accomplished.Many of the quality fields that have been discussed do not have anything to do with technical qualitydirectly but are in some degree requirements for a working quality system.
