Title: Publish at all costs? – A qualitative study of journalists´ attitudes regarding threats The purpose of this study is to chart attitudes regarding threats against journalists active in Sweden. The main question is: What is the attitude amongst journalists actively working in Sweden regarding threats directed against them during the course of their work? The qualitative study is based on interviews with five Swedish journalists that in one way or another have been exposed to threats as a result of their profession. The analysis is based on coping theories, taken from L. Englund´s (2008) thesis ”Katastrofens öga, en studie av journalisters arbete på olycksplats”. The analyze method is a thematic analysis, based on P. Burnard´s (2008) model. One of the most interesting results is that four of the five journalists in this survey claim that they have clear boundaries on when they would refrain from publishing because of threats. In the discussion the authors raise the question whether this can be seen as a threat against freedom of speech and in the long run also a threat to the democratic fundamentals of the Swedish society.

skribent? journalist? krönikör? fashionista? skjutjärnsreporter? bloggare? betraktare? granskare? stylist? researcher? redaktör? novellist? författare? … eller något annat? The purpose of this magazine is to discuss the concepts of journalism and what makes a journalist, with fashion blogs as a case study. By comparing the content of fashion blogs with the definition of what journalism is, we want to see whether the texts and images can be descibed as journalistic or not. We also want to find out what fashion bloggers consider themselves to be, and what people in the Swedish media sphere thinks of them.

DEMOCRAZY

The question about how to handle issues of integration is discussed widely throughout Europe. In general debates concerning immigration and integration policies, Sweden tends to compare itself with Denmark. The common impression is that Denmark has a far too rigid take on integration issues and that they are hostile towards foreigners. The Danes, however, accuse the Swedes of being afraid of addressing the problems and keeping quiet due to political correctness. We found that these ideas are widespread, but few studies actually look at how issues of integration are taken on in the two countries, especially in media research.

BROTT AV SIN TID

The purpose of the project is to investigate possible changes in the Swedish evening press and their way of reporting. In this case we have chosen the two biggest evening newspapers Aftonbladet och Expressen. To do so we choose to look at two of Sweden´s most media covered events in later years, the infamous ”Lasermannen”. Lasermannen or John Ausonius acted during the years 1991-92 in Stockholm. He became an almost mythical person that injured ten people and killed one person before the police arrested him. The other case is similar in many ways to that of Lasermannen but took place in Malmö. In 2010 a single offender, in media called ”Malmöskytten”, shoots a number of people based on their ethnical origin.
