KAMPEN OM ORDET

Who has the word? – A study of how Swedish journalists and holders of power see the power relationship of the interview. This paper aims to examine how Swedish journalists and holders of power in society look at the power relationship in the interview before, during and after it takes place. This is done on the basis of meetings with seventeen experienced journalists from different media in Gothenburg and Stockholm. In the meeting between ruler and journalist, two agenda meetings also take place. In this paper we try to examine the meeting of these two agendas in order to investigate which power implements are used and in what forms.
